• What I think should be changed (include citations):

PETAR VOLGIN

Petar Petrov Volgin (born 28 September 1969 as Peter Petrov Georgiev[1]) is a Bulgarian journalist, writer and politician. In 2024[2] he was elected member of the European Parliament of the political Party Revival. He previously worked as a radio host for Bulgarian National Radio.[3]

Biography

Background and early life

His father Petar Nikolov Georgiev Volgin was a poet, translator from Russian and editor for the Bulgarian National Radio. His mother Galina Lilova Bancheva was a civil engineer. Petar Volgin completed his primary education at the 32nd “St. Kliment Ohridski" in Sofia. After that he was admitted to the National High School for Ancient Languages and Cultures "Konstantin Kiril Philosopher" (NGDEK) and finished his secondary education there in 1988. From 1988 to 1990 he did his compulsory military service. In 1990 he began studying Bulgarian Philology at the Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski”. He graduated five years later with a thesis on the Russian literary avant-garde in the 1920s.

Journalism

Work in electronic media

In 1992 and 1993 Petar Volgin worked as a reporter for Channel 1 of the Bulgarian National Television (BNT). A year later, he started working for the programme “Horizont” of the Bulgarian National Radio (BNR). First, he was a reporter and then a host of the show "12 plus 3" and news presenter for "Horizont". In 1998, he created his first original radio show - "Without Control". It combined intellectual provocation and scandalous topics of that time. It discussed the works of Friedrich Nietzsche, Vladimir Nabokov, Herbert Marcuse, Pier Paolo Pasolini, as well as unconventional sexual practices, drugs and prostitution.

"No Control" quickly gained popularity, won many fans, but also critics. The media regulator at that time, the National Council of Radio and Television, insisted that BNR should stop the show, but the station's management refused to do so. Volgin argued that "No Control" was "an intellectual provocation to people who like to ask themselves questions", that it was carnivalesque in the sense that Mikhail Bakhtin described it.

• Why it should be changed:

I would like to continuously extend the biography of Petar Volgin, referring to reliable sources.
