Abstract

The last two decades have been marked by the widespread use of the Facebook social network to establish private communication. Virtual communication on Facebook has become a daily norm, eliminating age, gender, and ethnic differences. Numerous fb-pages created by Bessarabian Bulgarians present the activities of various state and public organizations, creative teams, organized interests. The impersonal author of these pages is the bearer of the ethnic Bulgarian identity. The oral activity of people is the mechanism that transforms the individual process of transmission and perception of information into a socially significant one.
