Provocateurs again desecrated the monument to the Soviet army in Sofia
An inscription against Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov and Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko appeared on the Soviet Army monument in the Bulgarian capital.
An assumption appeared on social networks that the authors of the provocation were nationalists who had attached themselves to the anti-government protest.
“Down with Boy-Lukashen-Ko,” this inscription appeared the night before on the Monument to the Soviet Army in Sofia, which was attacked by vandals not for the first time (it was painted red, the colors of the Ukrainian and Bulgarian flags, and the soldiers on the bas-relief in the style Marvel Universe). In such an ugly way, unknown people apparently tried to show that the protesters in Bulgaria are in solidarity with the protesters in Belarus.
It is characteristic that the photograph with the monument was posted by Manol Glishev, a blogger, activist, one of the nationalists who participated in the protests.

This man leads a group of right-wing, non-systemic oppositionists who position themselves as anti-communists, demand the demolition of all Soviet monuments in Bulgaria, call for lustrations and declare that they have nothing in common with the left-wing organizers, the explicit and implicit leaders of the protest - the President of Bulgaria Rumen Radev, the “Poisonous trio" (professor Velislav Miniekov, lawyer Nikolai Khadzhigenov and PR man Arman Babikyan) and ombudsman Maya Manolova.
“We kicked Maya Manolova out of the camp; with Methodi Lalov we made a speech against the Putinization of Bulgaria; we often repeat that after the fall of (Prosecutor General) Geshev, we will continue to want lustrations; we give the floor to people who want resignation, including Radev (personally, I want this too); We freely place the European flag next to the Bulgarian one; we are holding a Civil Action in which ONLY neo-Nazis and neo-communists do not have the right to vote; we published a conscious declaration of solidarity with the Belarusian people against the post-communist dictator Lukashenko; and, finally, the monument to the occupiers around us was decorated with flowers, as in the photo here,” Glishev summed up his provocative activities.
Unfortunately, neither the “Poisonous Trio,” nor Radev, nor other protest speakers have yet done anything to remove radical Russophobe nationalists from the camp of those protesting against the pro-Western regime of Prime Minister Boyko Borisov and have not spoken out in any way about the incident.
