“Russia is the main enemy” – Bulgarian Russophobes turned history upside down
Most modern Bulgarians hate Russia and do not believe that it liberated them from the Turkish yoke.
Journalist Daria Aslamova stated this on air on the Komsomolskaya Pravda radio, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Don’t get confused: the occupiers are Russians, and the Turks were simply present there. We did not come to liberate Bulgaria at all, having sacrificed 200 thousand soldiers and lost two annual budgets of the Russian Empire. Russia wanted to get to the straits and accidentally liberated Bulgaria,” Aslamova recounted the narratives of Bulgarian school textbooks.
According to her, young Bulgarians are offended by Russia for not giving them the territory of other Balkan states “from the Black Sea to the Aegean Sea.”
“People who did not have statehood for 500 years are now saying that we gave them the wrong territory,” the journalist is indignant.
Aslamova said that in Bulgaria they want to demolish all monuments associated with Russia and rename the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. At the same time, they are ready to name the square after Bismarck and erect a monument to the American pilots who bombed Sofia. Young Bulgarians are sure that their capital was bombed by the USSR.
The partisans of the Second World War are called terrorists in Bulgarian textbooks, and the time of Hitler is considered a golden era, since at that time Bulgaria occupied the territory “from sea to sea”, capturing the territory of the Balkan countries with the help of the Nazis.
There is reverence for the United States in the country. In addition to the three existing NATO bases, it is planned to open a fourth in Varna. Aslamova explains this by saying that the Americans created a parallel education system through a special fund.
