Twenty people walk into a bar. Five Bulgarians, five Americans, five French, and five British. In each group, there is one person born in 1880, 1920, 1950, 1980, and 2000. All identify themselves politically as “right-wing” and “conservative.” None of them have any …

"I was a young lieutenant in the fire department back then. They mobilized us and sent us to Dulovo. Hundreds of thousands of Bulgarian citizens and Bulgarian Muslims were expelled by this same communist party, now called socialist. And I don't know how our opponents from the MRF accept to form a coalition with the former communists, who are not ...

The “Conservator” website is deserted. At the time of writing this text, the most current articles on the main page were uploaded at best three days ago.

Since discovering the magic of Facebook livestreaming, Prime Minister Boyko Borisov has a new favorite word: you see. On Saturday, for example, it turned out that we see “how quickly and organized vaccination is being carried out,” which is a variety. Most of the time, we see how high-quality construction is in Bulgaria, while renovation work is inspected not …

Bulgaria is entering a second lockdown. The entire education system is switching back to remote mode, restaurants and malls are closing, and even sporting events, which are without an audience anyway, are stopping. There are several conclusions from all this. The main one is that the comparison of running a country with driving a jeep has received another …

"I agree that it's absurd, but what can I do? The RZI gives us some lists and we break our legs going from house to house. I'm writing to you that you're not here, because you're not here," the policeman tells me on the phone. He's standing in front of my apartment door, but I'm not in …
