Abstract
The article deals with the graduates of the American educational institutions in Bulgaria, and particularly focuses on their functioning as educated elites in the conditions of communist rule in the 1940-1960s. The monitoring of the American graduates suspected of espionage in favor of England or USA before and after 1944 is described and observed. Based on a historical analysis of the police records and operational developments of various persons, preserved in the Archive of the Communist Secret Police, the following conclusions are reached: the possibility of preserving the educational and professional networks of American graduates in the second half of the 20th century; the effectiveness of the social exchange that takes place among them; the efficiency of the control exercised by the repressive totalitarian structures on the intellectuals.
