Today marks 77 years since the occupation of Bulgaria by the Soviet army which overthrew the legitimate government.

“In the space of just 40 days after this date 26,500 people were massacred – most of them without trial or jury, and a mock People’s Court was set up, whose aim was to cover the tracks of the pogroms committed, the organization emphasizes.
