Condemning communism - the Bulgarian example
by Professor Plamen
S. Tzvetkov, Ph.D.
...In the context of the draft resolution on 'the
need for international condemnation of totalitarian communism',
Bulgaria has suffered the brunt of 'killings of people without any
judiciary process or the passing of death sentences after the fact
of the killing'. The so-called 'People's Tribunal', set up in the
early days following the invasion of Soviet troops into Bulgarian
territory in September 1944, was in fact meant to give a modicum
of legality to a small part of the murders committed by local communists
on orders from Moscow. The Tribunal passed 2,700 death sentences,
of which 200 on persons already killed, while the total number of
people exterminated in the first months and years of Soviet occupation
is estimated at some 30,000.

Is it Too Late to Condemn Communism
by Kalin Yanakiev
...Yes, I agree that communism both as ideological
belief and as practice is virtually nonexistent in this country.
The few exceptions may not be taken in consideration. But see -
there are no communists and no communism in this country not at
all the way there is no nazism in Germany, for instance. Because
in Germany, the active, conscientious nazis disappeared after they
were sentenced, some even executed. While in Bulgaria, communists
of the same rank no longer exist because they turned into owners
of the largest shares - stolen, not earned by them - of capital,
and for this reason - into behind-the-scenes conductors of our political
destiny.

Prof. Milenkov: "Bulgarian Communist Party and
abuses in psychiatry"
Veronica Bikova interview
Every psychiatrist, every physician, who has practised
in a psychiatric hospital in communist times, can confirm that it
was a normal practice to receive two bus loads at a time with 40
passengers each and being told that these people will stay because
there is doubt that they might be mentally ill.
