Bulgarians, as eminent experts say, are the European champions in honouring totalitarian symbols – the only ones who maintain 185 monuments to the Red Army. And they continue to nurture their “Swedish” syndrome. In Slovenia, we also honour the dead system and the lies that arose from it!
If the Bulgarian public really knew what happened between 1944 and 1948, when they were under Soviet occupation, it would not be so difficult to separate from the monument to the Soviet army. Physically. Tear it down, period. But they are champions in Europe – the only ones around who polish and embellish 185 monuments to the occupying Red Army. There is no such country in Europe. They constantly give false examples with monuments in Vienna, Budapest, Berlin, but those are monuments built where there was a battle. Bulgarians were not fighting – they were occupied without reason. These are the metastases of communist propaganda that poisoned the society there for so many years. Because there are still quite a few living ancestors of the “caretakers” of the Swedish syndrome, which spread its metastases to the second and third generations, treatment will take time.
The renowned Bulgarian historian E.K. overlooked Slovenia, which is among the few, also without coercion, much later erected monuments to the main physical exterminator of the local people and destroyer of the identity and spiritual heritage of Slovenians; monuments to battles or individuals from those battles who either did not exist or turned defeats into victories and consequently monuments were erected to them.
“The most frightening is the response of people who do not know the real history but still serve the propaganda. This fact does not surprise me, but I am ashamed that according to surveys, the percentage of these people with no civil education is so high,” explained the historian. According to her, Bulgarians have an exceptionally difficult mental legacy.
I am also ashamed when I look at the current Slovenian politicians from the younger and middle generations, who, after fulfilling their duties in a “democratic multi-party parliament, albeit with prevailing derivatives of predecessors with a communist background, bow down to the organiser and ideologue or one of them, sweeping around and laying fresh flowers at their feet”. Indeed, there must be a sick mental legacy. Part of those with the cancer of mental legacy, which attacks the cognitive mass (brains) and shapes the fate of generations that have nothing to do with it. “The propaganda we are witnessing today did not stop with the fall of the regime and the collapse of the Berlin Wall. The most unfiltered aspect is that we are subjected to 77-year-old propaganda that began in the 18th century with Russophilia, with mythology about liberators, folklore, literature, and then with the poetry of history,” added the historian.
On our soil, it continues. In addition to hidden Russophilia and Yugoslavism, non-alignment is also promoted as one of the forms of spreading socialist ideas. Endless hordes of people from the Near or Middle East from very underdeveloped regions are being allowed in, suitable masses for adapting to their needs for control and subjugation.
Will we ever finally get rid of monuments, squares, and streets named after one of the greatest murderers of his own citizens in recent world history, as well as streets and squares named after brigades, units, or groups that stole from people’s farms, who toiled in agony for survival? The struggle was equal to hiding, stealing, raping.
This cancer of the mental framework will experience its epilogue with the relocation of the extensions of this ideology and disease, if not earlier, then with the departure from terrestrial life of these diseased beings and their migration to the “paradise” gardens of the afterlife. Will anyone stop them in between in the vicissitudes, or will they receive a free ticket to hell? For now, the writer of these lines has not been able to find out.
The endless and unrepeatable opportunity for lustration and mental castration is forever missed!
