Bulgarian was born in a Polish noble family near Minsk in Belarus today. His father, a follower of Kosciuszko was exiled to Siberia because of an attack on a Russian general. Bulgarian was formed in a St. Petersburg Military Academy and participated in the Battle of Friedland, but was detained a short time later for theft. While his regiment was stationed in Finland, defected from Bulgaria to Warsaw, where he joined the Grande Armée. He fought under Napoleonic flag in the Napoleonic Wars in the Iberian Peninsula as well as in Napoleon's Russian campaign of 1812. 1814 Bulgarian was caught in France arrested and handed over to Prussia. From here there is a 6- year gap his biography.
1820 Bulgarian traveled from Warsaw to St. Petersburg, where he published a critical review of Polish literature and began in 1823 with the publication of the Nordic archive. He became friends with playwright Alexander Griboyedov and the philologist Nicholai Gretsch. The latter supported him in the publication of the newspaper The Northern Bee ( Северная пчела, 1825-39 ), the literary magazine Son of the Fatherland ( Сын отечества, 1825-59 ), a political Tageblatt, which the singular have been granted by the government, political news to discuss, and other reactionary periodicals.
It was no secret that Bulgarian and Gretsch were paid agents of the tsarist police and used their journals to disseminate the government engaged to government propaganda. Bulgarins unscrupulous behavior made him one of the most hated journalist in Russia. In particular, Alexander Pushkin made in a variety of epigrams fun of him, for example by keeping his name in Figljarin (derived from the Russian word for " clown " ) abwandelte. Bulgarian returned with epigrams in which he walked Pushkin's name to Tschuschkin (of Russian Tschusch for " nonsense ").
Inspired by Sir Walter Scott, Bulgarin wrote a series of historical novels about "Ivan Wyshigin " that were popular both in Russia and abroad. It was followed by two moralizing novels about the False Dmitry ( 1830) and Ivan Mazepa (1834 ).
