Bulgaria's Dark Past - Bizarre Communism Monument - Buzludzha 🇧🇬

[@dareBulgaria1172]

Welcome to Bulgaria, dear Davud! If you are a guest in my beautiful country, you cannot leave without being in the most beautiful and mystical Rhodope mountain. The magic of this magical place is in every blade of grass, every pebble on the road, in every breathtaking view, in every breath of wind, in the rustling of ancient forests. Once you get there, a sense of freedom overwhelms you and you certainly won't want to leave! The places that you can visit and be left breathless are the Trigrad Gorge and the Devil's Throat cave, the city of Smolyan, there you can visit the planetarium, as well as the largest observatory in Rozhen and many, many more interesting places. I wish you a wonderful adventure in Bulgaria!

Hello my friend and greetings for your such a nice video. I live in Kazanlak which is about 25 mins away from Buzludzha and I'm glad you represented my home area. I also can recommend you to visit the freedom monument on St. Nicola peak a.k.a Shipka peak. İt is also a museums where you can find some interesting things related with the Russian-Turkish war(1877-1878). Just prepare to hike around 1000 steps up there before you reach the monument. Freedom monument is just a few kilometers left from Buzludzha and even you can see it from where you was. Also instead you turn right to Buzludzha you can keep going a bit and you can visit The Valey Of Thracian Kings. These are 5 open thracian mounds that represent the life of the ancient Thracians and in particular the Odris kingdom, its capital Seutopolis and the authentic bronze head of King Seutеs III. The capital Seuthopolis in nowadays lay down under the waters of Koprinka dam which is just 5 km away from Kazanlak. If this is still not enough for your exploration you can vist so called Megalit or The Door Of Mother Goddes near Buzovgrad village which is around 7-8 km south of Kazanlak plus a bit of hiking in the mountain of Sredna Gora. This place dating around 4000 years BC, even before the thracian civilization. There, through the opening between the rock blocks, ancient people observed the summer solstice on 21.06, and this place was used as an ancient calendar, as well as a portal that connects our world with the world of the dead.

Hi, do you know If Buzludzha Monument is still abandoned or if they are reforming it? I will be going there on November. Thank you

[@AIEnhanced-ts5ko]

You can drive all the way to the monument without paying anything. The road is awfull but definetly can drive all the way up.Been there last year. BTW The area is full of bears, so take care if you hike up there. Greetings from Romania🇷🇴

If he continues to live and digs in the Bulgarian history and culture - he will fall inlove with the country and become half Bulgarian.

[@ДаниелЧонов]

This is typical bulgarian authentic style. Who dare to explore Bulgaria, they're bewitched quickly and this magic last forever.

[@sangalaklejeme5725]

I visited the UFO monument early Sunday morning 8th September. No one else around!🇧🇬🌟

[@EmiliyaAngelova-dx3oo]

I visited it in 1982 where this monument was in its glory.Inside there were 2 circles with mosaics the big circles was the struggle of the working class against the capitalists the second one was the portraits of Lenin ,Marks ,Engels and Dimitrov …in the centre of this circle was a man telling the story about Bulgarian Communist Party 🙃

[@Shiva-cr9wk]

Always waiting for your vlog davud

[@kaloyancholakov3725]

When you visit such places - it is often impressive the reason and history behind them and not so much the actual sightseeing. The reason it is placed on this mountain is because in this region a great battle for freedom of the Bulgarian people from the ottoman empire happened and this building is mainly a tribute to this event.

[@МиленДимитров-и2ф]

Obviously you were in some of the quarters of the city of Gabrovo. Because Gabrovo is situated in the mountains it's a quite widespread and many of the quarters looks like different village's, but in fact there is even a public transport and on 27:43 it's visible how one of the buses pass by.

I mean you was in Koprivshtica which is so close to the oldest city in europe and you skipped it for this comi shit which we in bulgaria hate so much, because it was build on the hill next to Shipka monument (you can google what happened there)

On this top of the mountain the Bulgarian Communist party was founded. That is why they built this monument there to commemorate this event.

[@AIEnhanced-ts5ko]

It gave me the impression that the Communists wanted to build something bigger than the 1877-78 Ottomans Russian war mausoleum, that's nearby.

[@IndraGangadien]

I am glad jou dont pay to see big monument on the mountan .The views are very nice and bautyful❤❤❤❤

Are you going to visit Plovdiv? If so I can show you around from the monument of brotherhood to Stolipinovo.

[@babiyarnazarismaily6207]

Our past was really dark,even today it still follows us,we had a jewish foreign minister(born in bulgaria) ,but he is a foreign agent also,not only minister😂and was send by the cia and mainly by the turkish inteligence to the mountains to search where we hide the nuclear warheads,cause we dont have nuclear weapons officially and i dont know if we really posses any,but when you have NPP half a century it is posible,the minister i am talking about was arrested by the military police and they told him there where he was searching they hold some archives of the army😂😂😂.....when all your neighbours are your enemies it would be good to have several warheads

[@svetoslavstanchev9977]

We don't have an army, you are talking about nuclear weapons. I admit, you have a sense of humor.

[@babiyarnazarismaily6207]

@@svetoslavstanchev9977 I dont say we have,but my personal opinion is that we do....after ww1 we hide our planes all arround the country and other weaponry, so why not to consider that now he hide some as well,for example some of the ss23 rockets capable of caring nuclear warheads...brat💪👊☠I dont think that our military will leave the state without protection at all,when we know that all our neighbours are our enemies(and are always United against us ,because we are the strongest and the wisest on the peninsula) and not from yesterday, the high command (according to me)did smth about this and it is not our NATO membership if you understood me properly

[@grundgesetzart.1463]

"Dark past"? Really? For whom? For my parents, everything was ok before 1990. They had a secure job, medical insurance was free of charge and they got all kinds of treatments. And....there was virtually zero crime, things like kidnapping, child ab*se etc....were unthinkable. Murderers were unalived by the state and taken out of society. Bulgaria had almost 9 Mio inhabitants by 1989. As for the "but they had no free elections"....yeah, we see what the elections brought us within the last 30 years. Nothing. The same mafia structures plundering the country, this time with the assistance of Western companies and countries....Free travel? Most Bulgarians, especially the elderly, can barely afford their food and medical bills. Travelling, any travelling, is out of the question. It is clear that a Turk, who is still bitter about losing their grip over our country, will try to smear the achievements of the Bulgarian people and society. Please stick to showing Arab countries, a culture you are certainly closer to. Thanks.

Dark past???? There is nothing dark about this monument. Educate yourself on tye matter. And you only wen there because you have seen gazillion photos on the internet

[@realJimmy_Balls]

Bulgaria was very different in 1980's very beatiful. In 1990's nobody took care of anything anymore and this is the result.

[@grundgesetzart.1463]

"no one took care of anythin" = ruined by design and plan to sell overpriced Western goods. Ruined intentionally and made sure that it stays this way, to get cheap labor force and drain the smart people out of the country. But the West is starting to get a taste of its own medicine. So satisfying and nice.
