Abstract
Aim. To consider the contribution of Russian researchers Sergei Ivanovich Pokrovsky and Vadim Konstantinovich Lazarkevich to the study of churches in Bulgaria and, in particular, in Mesembria.
Methodology. The merits of S. I. Pokrovsky and V. K. Lazarkevich in the study of Bulgarian antiquities based on their epistolary heritage and other archival materials were assessed.
Results. The analysis of archival documents revealed that S. Pokrovsky and V. Lazarkevich, being representatives of the White emigration, made a great contribution to the study of Bulgarian antiquities. S. Pokrovsky completed all the plans and drawings of the churches of Mesembria; V. Lazarkevich took the photographs of temples for the famous study of ancient Bulgarian architecture, the book of Doctor of Architecture A. Rashenov “Mesembrian Churches”.
Research implications. The data obtained allow us to judge about the role of the representatives of the Russian emigration in Bulgaria in the study of its historical and cultural heritage.
