Marin Stoyanov Drinov (Bulgarian: Марин Стоянов Дринов, Russian: Марин Степанович Дринов; 20 October 1838 – 13 March 1906) was a Bulgarian historian and philologist from the National Revival period who lived and worked in Russia through most of his life.^[1] He was one of the originators of Bulgarian historiography.^[2] Drinov was a founding member of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (then the Bulgarian Literary Society), as well as its first chairman.

Biography

Drinov was born in

Kharkiv University

, beginning to work as a regular professor at the end of 1876.

During the period of Russian government of Bulgaria (1878 - 1879) Drinov was Minister of Popular Enlightenment and Spiritual Affairs. Taking an active part in the organization of the newly liberated Bulgarian state, Marin Drinov is known as one of the authors of the

Cyrillic that was used in Bulgaria until the orthographic reform of 1945. He played a decisive role in the standardization of the Bulgarian language. As early as 1870 he rejected Shapkarev's proposal for a mixed eastern and western Bulgarian/Macedonian foundation of the standard language, stating in his article in the newspaper Makedoniya: "Such an artificial assembly of written language is something impossible, unattainable and never heard of."^[3]^[4]^[5] This position of Drinov has been criticized by some modern Bulgarian linguists as Blagoy Shklifov.^[6]

The first orthography of the standard Bulgarian language, established with a decree of the Minister of Education Todor Ivanchov in 1899, is attributed to Drinov. The Bulgarian language has undergone three orthographic reforms since: in 1921, 1923 and 1945.
