Epoha (Bulgarian: Епоха, 'Epoch') was a Bulgarian daily newspaper, published from Sofia between June 25, 1922 and December 29, 1925.[1][2] Epoha functioned as a mouthpiece of the rightist tendency within the Bulgarian Social Democratic Workers Party.[3]
Grigor Cheshmedzhiev served as the editor of Epoha.[4][5] He edited the newspaper along with Krastyo Pastuhov.[6][7][5] The newspaper was owned by Nikolai Donchev, a Bulgarian translator, literary critic and scholar.[4]
Epoha ran a defamatory campaign against the Bulgarian Communist Party and the Bulgarian Agrarian National Union.[1] The Agrarian National Union government banned the newspaper on May 8, 1923.[8] Epoha resumed publication after the June 9, 1923 coup d'etat (which Cheshmedzhiev and Pashutov celebrated), which issues coming out after June 11, 1923.[8][9] The front page of the June 11, 1923 carried the message 'Christ has resurrected!" (in reference to the June 9 coup d'etat).[9] After the coup Epoha stepped up its attacks on the Communist Party and the Agrarian National Union.[1]
Epoha was closed down in December 1925, following a decision of the Central Committee of the Bulgarian Social Democratic Workers Party.[8]
