metadata.value: The article considers role and dynamics of mutual images in the communication of Bulgars and
  Slavs with the Byzantine Empire and among themselves in connection with their migration across Danube,
  settlement in the Balkans, formation and enlargement of the Bulgarian state in the 7th–9th cc. The Byzantines’
  phobias towards Bulgars and Slav incorporated both the reminiscences of the ancient fears of enemies
  and new eschatological fears. They were being overcome by real and symbolic interiorization of the outer
  enemies, which in political contacts were perceived as military opponents and trouble-making neighbors,
  untrustworthy allies, friends by status or insubordinate subjects. Their transfer from the world of images to
  the world of politics obviously did not make the Rhomeoi’s relationships with the «inner barbarians» free
  from the impact of traditional images and their remnants, which in the case of the Bulgars and integrated into
  their state Slavs kept on existing after their conversion to Christianity. In their turn, the relations between the
  Bulgars and Slavs, on the one side, and Byzantium on the other, were determined not only by political and
  militaly challenges, but with their acculturation into the symbolic space of the Christian Empire conjugated
  with their attitudes to the statuses and nominations offered by Constantinople. The Bulgar-Slav relations and
  their symbolic expressions were shaped during their cooperation, which had begun long before the arrival
  of Asparuch to the Balkans, and in the course of the competition of the Bulgarian state with Byzantium for
  Balkan Slavinias. Nevertheless, the reminiscences of the ancient ethnic phobias in the mediaeval Byzantine
  and Slavonic texts existed more as literary fashion than as reflections of the current social and political
  realities.
