Why Bulgaria’s brutalism reached such unsurpassed aesthetics in monuments, sculpture, architecture ?

Това което са построили едно време, сега капиталистите не могат нито да поддържат, нито да държат в ред, нито морала на хората, нито инфраструктурата Само напишете бузлуджа снимки преди и сега да видите. Пък вие ми говорете... американски мечти глупости, живеем живот във старите къщи, но пък с нова дограма

I am glad it is being preserved. It has great historical value

This place is a excellent, condensed example of what happened to the country after socialism. If something couldn't be sold to an oligarch, then it was just simply abandoned. Its idiotic that a place like this, considering how interesting it is, and how beautiful the location is, would be simply abandoned.

Communism produced some of the best art and architecture in the world. This monument should never have been left to rot. I'd like to see it restored fully to its former glory! I can't understand the insanity of destroying such works of art. Many communist era sculptures and art have moved away or destroyed.

В этом храме не вырывали сердца их там зажигали, и гореть они будут вечно. Поколение родившееся после заката в сумерках, никогда не видело солнца.

Fantastic video, will be there tomorrow!

Im surprised that the lower levels were never flooded by rain water

its that post soviet bug of lets steal everything we can. i hate commies and their mindsets. it destroyed so much beauty.

Waste of money to preserve this monument.

I know Ceasar said it first that history is written by the victor. No argument from me here. But also history tends to swings every which way. Am not condoning communism and what they did. But its a great sadness seeing how it use to look, and how it looks now. As a Romanian, am not sure wtf we doing with the "house of the people". Maybe we should let it go to waste. Its certainly bigger and more expensive. But not as beautiful as this place. I mean, there are worse buildings in the world. That North Korean hotel comes to mind.

I can understand the degradation of those parts which have been exposed to the elements, but I'm surprised to see that the internal structures have degraded so badly. I had wondered why no rich person had bought this to use as a business centre, it would make a very impressive headquarters. I assume that the cost of renovation on that level corrosion would be prohibitive.

The monument was destroyed by Roma, not by Bulgarians, stick to the truth.

Българския комунизъм е уникален,и се различава от всеки друг.Икономиката е била комунистическа ,но доста повлияна от запада.Шоу бизнеса също е приличал на западен ,руснаците и днес казват че са гледали български продукци както ние гледаме днес американските шоу програми.Дори паметника на Бузлуджа изглежда симпатично ,не знам дали е направено умишленп да изглежда като летяща чиния но е вероятно ,по това време на запад е бума на НЛО.Спорет мен всички са водели за носа Бай Тошо а тои си беше тъп и не го е усетил.

Just been to this place last week in the snow. It is amazing as it is.Also went to a Russian orthodox church nearish this pace which was amazing

Well done - excellent.

I’m making it my goal to become successful enough to afford a sizeable grant to fund the restoration of this monument. This is one of those pieces of architecture that are timeless as well as indicative of a world that no longer exists. It deserves to be restored and preserved for centuries to come.

Thank you for the restoration initiative! Visited today and am grateful you've made in-depth walk-throughs through the interior as they are unaccessible now.

That's gonna need alot of work and love. Some of the smartest people I hope are on this.

за жалост е така , ако беше друга държа щеше да го запазят . Благодаря ви за това видео винаги като съм минавал от там само снимки съм правил

Any idea where you can buy the book mentioned on the Video? Book : House-Monument on Buzludzha Peak

I can say I have visited this monument!

This reaffirms the ignorance and fanaticism of humans, in general. Whatever the origin of the monument, the ideology and symbolism, it shows the human capacity to undertake the construction of the monument, all over the world these are admired, the Colosseum in Rome, the Parthenon in Athens, the Great Wall of China, all of these they reflect man's ability to create great works in community to show the presence and intelligence of the human being, although this almost always clashes with the ignorance and barbarism of a good part of this human society... Albert Einstein said it a long time ago: There are two infinite things, human stupidity and the Universe, although I am not completely sure about the latter...

I am not a communist or hold any left wing beliefs. But I do believe in restoring Architecture and not letting the past be forgotten. I pray that this project gets the funding to rebuild this very unique piece of architecture.

Can anyone tell me where I can find the book referenced in the video?

This is one of the most stunning buildings on earth. I hope you find the money support and purpose to complete the restoration of this place and for people to appreciate its beauty not its past.

Хубавото изчезва остава СДС и ГЕРБ

very cool video you deserve more visibility

;( 🇧🇬🇹🇷

the whole building should be restored

Down to communism

I love mosaic very much. Traveling through the countries of the former USSR, you can see simply amazing works, as if you find the wreckage of Atlantis. I dream of visiting Buzludzha someday. Thanks to everyone involved in this project!

Wow 🤩 amazing video really well made too

Long live Bulgaria 🇧🇬 Love from 🇮🇳

Много жалко!Моите родители и всички работещи българи са давали "трудови"дни за построяването на паметника т е част от заплатите си.А тази партия,която си го е присвоила не е полагала никакви грижи за поддържането му след 1989год.Партията е БКП,преименувала се в БСП.Партия,която получава милиони субсииди от държавата,но не е направила нищо за поддържането му преь всичките тези години!Жалко!

Your english is with russian accent 😂

Nice video Martin, looking forward to re visiting this in the near future.

Socialism will rise again! I believe in the Bulgarian working class, they are strong! Greetings from Spain.

Πολλοί άνθρωποι θέλουν να επισκεφθούν την Βουλγαρία μόνο και μόνο για να δουν το μνημείο. Μπράβο που προσπαθείτε να σώσετε οτιδήποτε. Εγώ όταν ήρθα είχε πολύ ομίχλη δυστυχώς αλλά είμαι σίγουρος ότι μια μέρα θα το επισκεφτώ ξανά.

един невероятен паметник. Не разбирам защо с падането на комунизма са го занемарили... Ахх нишо добро не заслужаваме

A giant Masterpiece of this beautiful Monument.

какъв е този английски език бе брат пълна смешка си !!А петника е състоянието на хората такива хора жиевят в България какъвто и е паметника !!

Oh my...amazing building!!!

kzbin.info/www/bejne/paW0pK2mlLF-asU Brothers of Bulgaria, if you install Eight vertical axis wind turbine on the top of the tower. Each one higher than 3000 Watt, and can be 9000 Watt. Also, you can attach some solar panels on the top of tower wall or reconstruct with solar brick roof . So you can generate with a lot of electricity power for the building reconstruction also for building consumption. At the best, you can illuminate 💡🔦🕯️🔋🪫🔌 the whole building overnight, that you get night views from. A beautiful idea, using the LED rope light 👍. You can run and operate inside the building radio station, restaurant, and hotel 😴😴😴😴😴🤓

Absolutely breathtaking piece of artwork and what has happened to it is criminal.

Добре се е получило видеото, като за горе долу любителска продукция. Малко ако пооправиш акцента и произношението/ударенията на думите, когато говориш на английски ще направи още по-добре въздействие и впечатление. Поздрави!

🇬🇧 This structure is a symbol of communist brutalism which tries, without hesitation and in a failed way, to subdue and shape Nature to its will and for its ignoble purposes. Having said that, the condition in which it finds itself after just half a century is embarrassing. This place should be restored and redeveloped as a museum, perhaps containing the history of its construction, the history of communist Bulgaria and other Eastern European Nations subjected to Soviet imperialism, as well as the aberrations and tragedies produced by the USSR. It should become a warning for the inhabitants and for the tourists... but now it is only a piece of concrete and marble thrown in the middle of the mountains. 🇧🇬 Тази структура е символ на комунистическия брутализъм, който се опитва без колебание и по неуспешен начин да подчини и оформи Природата според нейната воля и за нейните неблагородни цели. Като каза това, състоянието, в което се намира след само половин век, е смущаващо. Това място трябва да бъде възстановено и преустроено като музей, може би съдържащ историята на изграждането му, историята на комунистическа България и други източноевропейски нации, подчинени на съветския империализъм, както и отклоненията и трагедиите, причинени от СССР. Трябва да се превърне в предупреждение за жителите и за туристите... но това е само парче бетон и мрамор, хвърлен в средата на планината. 🇮🇹 Questa struttura è simbolo del brutalismo comunista che tenta, senza remore e in maniera fallimentare, di sottomettere e modellare la Natura alla sua volontà e per i suoi ignobili scopi. Detto ciò, è imbarazzante la condizione in cui versa dopo appena mézzo secolo. Questo luogo andrebbe restaurato e riqualificato come museo, magàri contenente la storia della sua costruzione, la storia della Bulgaria comunista e delle altre Nazioni est-Europee sottomesse all'imperialismo sovietico, oltre che delle aberrazioni e tragedie prodotte dall'URSS. Dovrebbe divenir mónito per gli abitanti e per i turisti... ma così è solo un pezzo di calcestruzzo e marmo gettato in mézzo alle montagne.

Piece of art, destroyed by vandals.

Rumor have said that the big red star couldve been seen from all 4 sides of bulgaria
