Speaking for the Bulgarian: yes, the standard one-volume Bulgarian
dictionary defines it as Œsemejstvenost, nepotizym¹ and in turn
defines the latter word as Œfavouritism towards relatives or close
people¹.

Let me also use the opportunity to give you a more correct form:
shurobadzhanashtina is the dictionary form and also most frequent
judging by a Google search - about 35 hits versus only 3 for
shurobadzhanachestvo(to).
