70 years have passed since the establishment of the State Award "Cyril and Methodius"
On this date in 1950, the Presidium of the Bulgarian National Assembly established the Order of Cyril and Methodius as a state award with three degrees. The award is the successor of the Order of the Equal to the Apostles St. Cyril and St. Methodius, established by Tsar Ferdinand on May 18, 1909 on the occasion of the declaration of Bulgaria's independence. 
The Order of Cyril and Methodius is awarded to Bulgarian and foreign citizens with significant merits in the field of science, culture and education. 
It was bestowed until March 21, 1991, when it was abolished by the VII Grand National Assembly. On May 29, 2003, with the Law on Orders and Medals, the Order of St. Cyril and St. Methodius was adopted, as a successor to the Order of the Equal to the Apostles St. Cyril and St. Methodius and to the order of Cyril and Methodius.
