On this day 30 years ago, by a decision of the 7th Grand National Assembly, the People’s Republic of Bulgaria was renamed Republic of Bulgaria.
Bulgaria was declared a people’s republic after a referendum in 1946, a time when the country was under the occupation of Soviet troops, at which 92.72% of the votes were for abolishing monarchy.
