In Bulgaria, dissatisfaction with the behavior of the EU and the USA has increased

207


The Bulgarian authorities have ceased to hide their irritation from the behavior of the EU and the USA. In Sofia, at the highest level, they began to make ultimatum statements and even threatened Brussels with retaliatory measures! The members of the Bulgarian government began methodically sending clear messages to Brussels and Washington. "We have fulfilled all the criteria for years. Now, I am convinced that the time has come for you in Brussels to decide on Bulgaria’s accession to Schengen! With all due respect to my friends in Greece, it cannot be that Greece is in Schengen and Bulgaria is not!"- Prime Minister Boyko Borissov said at the Munich Security Conference.

Donated to the Americans. "America is not the same" - said Borisov. And specifically accused Washington of trying to unscrew the hands of the Bulgarians, offering American weapon at inflated prices. “I asked my American colleagues a question! Is it possible to offer us such prices for airplanes and Tanks? " We remind you that the President of Bulgaria Rumen Radev and the Minister of Defense Krasimir Karakachanov recently said that their country had not modernized their army for 27 years already!

Bulgarian Foreign Minister Ekaterina Zakharieva demanded that European officials take Bulgaria to Schengen by the end of this year. This statement of the Bulgarian Minister acquires special weight, given that Bulgaria is currently the EU Presidency. Doors in Schengen remain closed, despite all positive actions and assessments. The European Commission emphasizes that Bulgaria fulfills all the technical conditions for joining the Schengen. However, Germany and France constantly express their “doubts” about the reception of Bulgaria and Romania.

According to opinion polls, EU membership is rated positively by 57% of Bulgarians. Only 14% are negative, and one fourth has a neutral position. The level of support is quite high due to the significant success achieved by the Bulgarian economy over the past 5 years (steady growth of 3,6-3,9%). So, for example - Bulgaria’s GDP in 2017 year exceeded the bar of 50 billion euros, which is a record for the whole stories country! For 2018, the year projected GDP in 52 billion euros. At the same time, the unemployment rate fell to 5,6%. Wages, although 5-6 are lagging behind German ones, are nevertheless in second place in terms of growth among the EU countries. 20 years ago, this difference was 18-20 times. The financial condition in the country today is stable. By the ratio of external public debt to GDP, Bulgaria is among the top three EU countries with the best performance. The fact is impressive - in view of the fact that 27 years ago Bulgaria came out of the era of socialism bankrupt (in the 90s declared a moratorium on payments on foreign loans), gold reserves of EUR / BN were collected in the treasury. Despite these good results, the Bulgarians still have the feeling that in the EU they are viewed as second-class people. After all, the West does not like that Bulgarians are the most Russophilic people in the EU with a level of sympathy for Russia, according to various opinion polls, from 22,5 to 76%!

    Peter beautifully described the discontent and Russophilia of the Bulgarians.
    Now let a little fly in your barrel of honey toss.
    Bulgaria twice participated in the war against RUSSIA ... it will also be the third time.
    Further, Bulgaria joined the sanctions against Russia, and as I see it, it does not intend to get out of them ... it loves Russia just so much that it is ready to strangle it in its arms.
    Further, Bulgaria by its actions prevented the construction of the South Stream, contrary to the interests of RUSSIA and Bulgaria itself for the sake of the Germans and the USA ... hehe she loves us so much, she loves so much that she’s ready to put sticks under the wheels anywhere ... Bulgaria is so Russophile.
    Perhaps at the household level, some of the Bulgarians treat Russians well, but that’s where it ends ... then the Russophobic policy against our country begins to please Washington and Brussels.
    Naive gentlemen, the Bulgarians, we have not suffered for a long time ... we judge by your affairs.

        The Bulgarian government has a purely mercantile interest in its owners.
        I am sure once the power of Brussels and Washington is weakened and the cash flow from them ends, Bulgaria instantly transforms into a jump and starts purring under the nose of another owner ... this is the reality.

        However, I did not mean to say this. The Russian media and even our resource here constantly talk with horror about the Bulgarian reality and the horrors of life in the EU, however, in the article this is just the opposite ... It turns out that Bulgaria received an impetus for development in the EU and progress is evident .. .

          Fine. The media play a major role in the information war. "Everything is bad there" and there is a basic light motive! wink
          In reality, the situation is different. The Bulgarian socialist economy was focused on 90% on the Soviet market. No wonder they called Bulgaria the 16 Republic. When the USSR collapsed, Bulgaria was trapped! What was going on in Russia then was even worse in Bulgaria! Until 2007 g. / Entry into the EU / country survived by selling its assets. Not all, since most of the socialist heritage was not suitable for working market conditions. After joining the EU, the situation began to change for the better! 15 billion euros of subsidies have flowed in and active logistics are underway to transform the economy into market conditions! There is a problem (they are related to our typical Balkan mentality), but success is noticeable too! We can objectively admit that EU assistance saved Bulgaria! Bulgaria is now the poorest country in the EU, but compare with the catastrophic situation in 90! We were bankrupt then! The difference in living standards between the latter (Romania and Bulgaria) and the more developed EU countries is decreasing.

              In general, it is. With one little detail. Socialism and the ego created by the econoics were chronically ineffective with a bunch of parameters. RanT finished off what could have been saved. Though hardly, it could. To reformat the non-market economy in the market, there was a huge investment needed. It turned out to be easier to chop into rubbish and sell by weight. Advised and helped. wink

                  Socialism in the same form in which it was ceased to exist. Fact. This is evidence of the ego of not being effective.
                  But it is proved that US debt exceeds 20 trillions of dollars and no one is going to give it back. Is it an efficient economy?

                  I agree. Fact! By the way, socialism at its sunset also sank into debt. Capitalism turned out to be more effective, in view of the fact that it was ocelled even in the presence of such colossal debts!
                  And who finances the United States and the West?

                  The very same financed by the socialist countries. World Bank Capital.
                  It is clear that Bulgaria is not a showcase of capitalism, but a resource country.

                  It is also clear that Bulgaria was not a showcase of socialism. And since Bulgaria has few resources, it can hardly be called a resource country. Actually ... Bulgaria is unique in itself. She is the cradle of Orthodox Slavic civilization.

          They are satisfied with those who protect and feed them.

          The thesis that someone feeds has no foundation. The economic assistance from the EU aims to reorganize the Bulgarian economy on a market principle, moreover, in those sectors where Bulgaria has advantages in view of its specificity. All economic unions have such programs! TS is also not an exception! As for the "protects", yes ... Bulgaria is a small country (110 thousand square kilometers, 7 million people) and is located geographically at the crossroads of geopolitical interests. She alone cannot ensure her safety.
          It has always been so in countries along the border of the rift of Slavic and Anglo-Saxon civilizations.

          Also a very controversial thesis! Most Slavic countries do not belong and will never be part of the Anglo-Saxon world, despite the fact that they are in the EU. The EU has become less and less “Anglo-Saxon” over time. Now Great Britain has already left it! The Slavic world is not a monopoly of Russia! It is more Slavs outside Russia than in it! request

      More national egoism !!
      Ready to help everyone and forgive everything and live in the mud ..
      Recently ran into the saying: "*** We have been corrupted, forcing to empathize with various national liberation revolutions overseas, demanding sympathy for the unemployed and destitute somewhere in America or Cuba. At the same time, real human suffering was poured literally nearby - in some An extinct Russian village, an old Moscow communal apartment, at a train station, in a nursing home. Kindness must come from within a person and society. You cannot order to be kind. Kindness is a moral category of soul. Sometimes I am amazed by loud calls - to be kind, merciful, philanthropic. All this is a game It can be a merciful society, where everyone who is close to the distribution of life’s goods, uses them primarily himself, where there is an unspoken appeal - give me more! Each person is uniquely interesting, regardless of whether he lives in sight or not noticed others. A person is surprisingly interesting precisely at the moment of resistance, overcoming himself. Or, rather, the statement of something important in itself when it is necessary to decide the eternal Hamletian "to be or not to be." I am sure that any of us is unexpected, paradoxical. Only the paradox of some carries the good, of others - sometimes even dangerous. "

      Hi Lech! According to your "list" I will answer! hi
      Peter beautifully described the discontent and Russophilia of the Bulgarians.

      Discontent with the authorities arises from the fact that Brussels is due to purely mercantile impulses that refuse to accept Bulgaria into Schengen.
      People are satisfied with EU membership. Everyone sees and appreciates the benefits. 14% dissatisfied gather from the age group for 50 years.
      Russophilia is traditional among Bulgarians and I would say genetic. The economy is connected with the EU, and cultural and historical ties are strong with Russia. As for the political elite, there are all sorts of trends, but healthy pragmatism rules.
      Now let a little fly in your barrel of honey toss. Bulgaria twice participated in the war against RUSSIA ... it will also be the third time.

      There is no topic about Bulgaria where these essentially wrong theses are not thrown! Like a carbon paper! I am not surprised, since this is connected with some political trends in Russia and their "informational" component.
      1. In WWI, Bulgaria defended its national ideals - the liberation and unification of the lands inhabited by the Bulgarian population. Russia, being an ally of our (and its) worst enemies, found itself on the other side of the front! Bulgaria did not send an army to Russian soil. All battles were fought on the territory of the Bolkans, among Bulgarian villages and the city.
      2. Bulgaria, although formally an ally of Germany, did not fight against the USSR in WWII. Countries supported norms. deep relations. After September 44, Bulgaria with a half-million army participated in the war against Fasciska Germany.
      3. In WWI, a Bulgarian soldier defended his homeland! Who came to us as an enemy was greeted as an enemy! In WWII, Hitler did not manage to force the Bulgarians to fight against the USSR. I don’t see how it will turn out now, under the assumption that a war between NATO and the Russian Federation is almost impossible. The planet will burn into a thermonuclear flame!
      Further, Bulgaria joined the sanctions against Russia, and as I see it, it does not intend to get out of them ... it loves Russia just so much that it is ready to strangle it in its arms.

      "Joined", but in fact the exchange of goods between the BG and the Russian Federation is growing with 12-14% every year! Your politicians say this is good for Russia, as it stimulates the eo economy! So where does the claim to Bulgaria? We must thank us if we listen to your superiors! wink
      Further, Bulgaria by its actions impeded the construction of the South Stream, contrary to the interests of RUSSIA and Bulgaria itself to please the Germans and the USA ..

      There is probably no other topic in rus-media on which the truth is so distorted! For 4 of the year I worked with the Bulgarian side on the project and in the know. What they write in Russian media and reality are dramatically different.
      Perhaps at the household level, some of the Bulgarians treat Russians well, but that’s where it ends ... then the Russophobic policy against our country begins to please Washington and Brussels. Naive gentlemen, the Bulgarians, we have not suffered for a long time ... we judge by your affairs.

      At the household level, everything is fine, Lech! Half a million Russians have acquired real estate in Bulgaria and live here. Mixed Bulgarian-Russian marriages account for 90% of all marriages from a foreign woman. Russian language is known by 25-30% of Bulgarians. As for politics (Russian, Bulgarian, Zanzibar ...) it is ambiguous and is governed by other laws! I will frankly say that the Bulgarians also have a sobering attitude towards understanding the true goals of Russian politics at the Balkans.

          Yes, this is an interesting idea! Moreover, now in Bulgaria there is a unique political coalition from the pro-European (GERB), national-patriotic (VMRO) and frankly anti-NATO pro-Russophile (Attack) parties! Socialists (BSP) and Turks (DPS) were on board! The most interesting thing is that at first glance the “cocktail” of incompatibility works quite well! In addition, the Minister, Chairman B. Borisov, is pro-European, and the President, Gen. R. Radev - stands for rapprochement with Russia. The topic for the article is real! Yes good

      Bulgaria wants a Schengen. They want to work in Europe.

      No problem for Bulgarians with work in the EU. Schengen is a little higher with the bureaucracy. The unemployment rate in Bulgaria is steadily decreasing. In 2017, she is record low! The opposite trend is also observed! Many who have worked for the West and have accumulated money return and open their business to their homeland. Due to the lowest taxes, Bulgaria also attracts foreign investors. The situation, though slowly changing for the better.

            The problem is that even after returning to Bulgaria those who have accumulated money (meager admittedly) there is no way to open production. Workshops for the production of gear are not considered. They will be outstripped throughout Bulgaria by a seedy factory in any Chinese village. The problem for all Eastern Europe lies in the lack of personnel. They went to Western Europe. So there is almost no one to work in high-tech industries here.

Not everyone will return, but I am convinced that many will return with the baggage of knowledge that will be useful for the country. It is clear that they will not return because of altruism.

                  Oho-ho, Kot_Kuzya, there are extensive studies on this issue. I read some of them in Bulgarian and on paper. I really didn’t look on the Internet. The numbers vary. As a base for comparison: According to the information of world institutes of strategic research, after the signing of the Helsinki understanding and the reduction of the confrontation between NATO and the ATS after the 70, the United States spends about 6% of GDP on defense, Great Britain - 5%, and the USSR 11-13%! These expenses do not include a number of indirect and undeclared military expenditures. For example, the military help “revolutionary movements” around the world or construction of dual-use objects. Spend billions on the international help of Bulgaria! There are public decisions of the Bulgarian parliament, for example, from 2005 where debts of such countries by hundreds of millions of US dollars are written off by name and line by line! In general, the numbers in the category 25-30% are obtained. An interesting fact is that the “oportionist” Ceauestka at that time urged all countries that signed the ChS to lower them. expenditures for 5%, referring primarily to socialist expenditures, since their real expenditures are percent higher than NATO by 2-2,5 times. Fact - all ATS countries receive subsidies for armaments from the USSR. For example, for the period 1956-1965, Romania receives 712 million rubles, 2 billion. Bulgaria receives the smallest amount - 404 million rubles. In such a short statement, the whole situation cannot be described. In general, this question is worth writing a separate article.
                  Satisfies you my answer or not, it makes no difference to me. fellow And how you will brand and name-calling me, it makes no difference to me. Yes Here in VO there is a whole cohort branding everything and everyone. Hollow breeds are shorter. laughing

                      Sots adherents, taking advantage of the office. statisticians from that time insist that the GDP of the BG in 2012 is 42% of the GDP in 1989. Opponents say that these statistics do not reflect the true situation, since miscalculations were made in conventional currency units, which have little in common with reality . The Bulgarian socialist lion, did not have material support and was not convertible. The current lion, the currency board is pegged to the euro (~ 2: 1). Whichever of these opinions we would accept, a simple calculation shows that the entire military expenditures to GDP with social benefits were ten times higher than now. It does not even need to be counted! It is enough to look at the public data on the composition and armament of the SUA, then BA now. During the cold war, there were enemies around! Near and around the world! We armed ourselves to the teeth! Huge resources were spent on military needs! Now Bulgaria has the best relations with neighbors in history! It is not good to be completely unarmed, but spending a quarter of your money on weapons is also not necessary! Is it difficult for you to understand such simple things ??? belay

                      Recalculation of GDP of BG during soc in the current currency is an ungrateful matter, so let's take the official state exchange rate for 1989 - 1,17 soc. BGN = 1 $ To simplify, we will not take into account the depreciation of the dollar over the past years, as it is ~ compensated by the real absence of foreign exchange coverage from the social. BGN The figure is 40 bln. For 89, I take GDP from another forum member here. My opponent and sonarodnik Kostadinov. I believe him, even with all his other discussions I do not agree.
                      Accordingly, 40 billion social leva GDP 1989 g. = 34,2 billion. $
                      Now GDP ------------------------------------------- 61,5 billion. $
                      And so ... it turns out ...
                      (2017 g.) 61,5 billion $ X 2% = 1,23 billion $
                      (1989 g.) 46,8 billion $ X 20% = 9,36 billion $
                      or at
                      (2017 g.) 61,5 billion $ X 1% = 0,6 billion $
                      (1989 g.) 46,8 billion $ X 25% = 11,7 billion $

                      If my memory doesn’t fail me in terms of the Stolholm ISI and others, how did the military spending figure vary about 13-15% ?! Indirect costs / infrastructure, free supplies of Bulgarian weapons for revolutionary movements around the world, etc., were not taken into account. One can argue how accurate this data is, because the real information was military secret. But there is an objective fact on the acquisition of thousands of units of armored vehicles, hundreds of aircraft, ships, etc.! I mentioned somewhere else, as an example of prices for the purchase of 22 MiG-29 x 11 million transferable rubles apiece. How much does the MiG-29 cost in a modern configuration? T-72?

                  Bulgaria in 1993-1996 actively promoted the idea of ​​a gas and oil pipeline from Burgas to Alexandroupolis. And this was considered a sufficient guarantee for the National Security. However, then no one actively promoted this in the Russian Federation. They realized it after 1997, but in a truncated version as a branch to Turkey.

    Do not make me laugh. The Bulgarian elite is quite pro-Western and, moreover, has "sins" known to the leadership of the EU and the USA. They can say whatever they like, but when the time comes to make some decisions, they will quickly be reminded who is who in this life ... and they will make the decision that the West needs.

      Bellene NPP was laid 40 years ago. Unfinished like the Egyptian pyramids! In the current economic realities, it will be at a loss. Theme for another article.
      The Bulgarian side had to pay half a million euros of the fine to Rosatom, because the agreement was really interrupted by the Bulgarian side. By the way, the same agreement, a few years ago was pushed by the Russian energy lobby in the Bulgarian parliament, but this is also a different topic. So ... The very fact that Gazprom has no claim to impoverishment clearly shows that there are no violations on the Bulgarian side. Most likely, the Bulgarian side has grounds for complaint, but for certain reasons we refrain. I am in the know / for work /.

        Since when has the receipt of money for transit become unprofitable.
        On December 07, 2011, the Bulgarian Government decided to abandon the project for the construction of the Burgas-Alexandroupolis oil pipeline, considering it economically unreasonable. In early February 2012, Bulgaria paid Russian Transneft a debt of $ 4,7 million for its withdrawal from the project (the debt was formed due to that the Russian monopoly funded a share in Bulgaria)

        Really guessed it? Ah ja, there is also the South Stream:
        In 2014, Bulgaria, at the insistence of the European Commission, halted work on the project twice (in June and then in August)
        In December 2014, work was to begin on the offshore section. Pipes for the first string (throughput capacity of 15 billion m³ per year) were manufactured, and some of them were delivered to Varna

        Well, well, it turns out that Gazprom outwitted everyone
        Nuclear power plants are also not so simple
        Bulgaria terminated the contract with the ASE for the construction of the Belene NPP (cost over € 6 billion) in 2011, after which the Russian side demanded compensation for the costs incurred in the arbitration in Geneva. In June, the lawsuit was upheld; Sofia did not dispute the loss, but NEC did not have any funds to pay compensation. The Bulgarian side made a number of attempts to get out of the situation: government representatives were negotiating with the European Commission, Moscow, and also intended to agree on the sale of nuclear equipment to Iran. At the same time, Sofia actively made it clear to Russia that it was ready to re-discuss a number of joint projects in the fuel and energy sector that were canceled by the pro-Western government of Bulgaria

          In the next 15 years, it is disadvantageous. There will be no such energy consumption, as was originally supposed in the distant 1981, when the project was laid! In addition, licenses were extended at Kozloduy NPP, until 2030, with the option to continue to 2040, Bellene NPPs are likely to be built, but with the help of private investors. It will be put into operation presumably after 2040. The technical project will be totally redesigned just in case.

            The south stream ended due to Bulgaria’s reluctance to issue a work permit in the coastal economic zone of Bulgaria. But they used just a 3-energy package to justify it. Gazprom could not pull the pipe across the sea to nowhere, and the delay at the start of construction costs real money.

              All independent experts state that the price of electricity produced by Belene NPP will be at least 80 Euro per megawatt-hour. This means that the station will not be able to sell what it produces, because no one will buy. While in operation, the Kozloduy NPP works at the expense of taxpayers, and not at the expense of the sale of generated electricity. At the moment, the station produces cheap electricity, because it does not include the costs of decommissioning and storage of spent nuclear fuel. The report of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences says that the need for an increase in energy capacities will arise by 2035-40. Therefore, a decision on the construction should be made in the next 10 years. Moreover, obviously everything will have to be redesigned in accordance with the latest technology.

              Now the situation is this: Export is profitable when there is a client. Romania already has its own nuclear power plant, Turkey is also building. Energy consumption in other Balkan countries is decreasing.

              Eurostat recently confirmed that Bulgaria has not only achieved, but exceeded the national level of electricity consumption from renewable energy sources (RES) laid down in the Europe-2020 strategy. Given 16%, the share of this electricity in consumption in 2016 was 18,8%, moreover, it doubled over the previous 12 years.

              You are right that EVI is more expensive, but at the same time more investments are being made in Bulgaria to introduce modern technologies to increase energy efficiency!

              I will give such an example from everyday life! The current price rises in one way or another! It’s more profitable for me to invest in modern devices that have less consumption! And in thermal insulation, solar batteries, etc. Bulgaria, by the way, is one of the sunniest countries in Europe! So I'm less attached to suppliers. It’s more profitable not to buy current cheaper, but to consume the ego more economically and, if possible, directly from nature! And with the environment it’s better and freer for me! With the growth of personal well-being, more and more people begin to think so.

                On Sunday, the Bulgarian press reported that the head of the Bulgarian government, Plamen Oresharski, ordered the suspension of work within the framework of the "South Stream" for consultations with the European Commission. According to the Bulgarian Minister of Energy Dragomir Stoynev, his country does not abandon plans for the construction of the gas pipeline, considering this project "inevitable and important both for Europe and for Bulgaria." However, he acknowledged that so far there are "unresolved issues" around the gas pipeline.

    In reality, the situation is different.

      If you had direct Russian gas and a new nuclear power plant, then the economic recovery would be significantly accelerated by cheap energy and transit money.

      The situation with gas and atom is fundamentally different!
      Money from transit would not be bad, but ... without the approval of the EC, no transit would go further! The next EU country would stop the pipe. And we would have a pipe to nowhere. Moreover, the failure to comply with EU laws is followed by large fines of several hundred Euro mines and stops of eurofunds. Before 2020, Bulgaria should receive another 3 billion euros.
      In general, when I read the comments I see that most of the connoisseurs do not understand one very important thing! UP is not a purely project between Bulgaria and the Russian Federation! Although the goal was to circumvent antitrust legislation in the EU, the ego was positioned like that! UP project between EU countries and Gazprom! Transiter-Bulgaria does not decide under what conditions the final counterparties will agree or not!

      Belene NPP, as I explained in another comment, it was laid in the distant 1981 d. Then there was a rapid increase in energy consumption! Bulgarian heavy industry built on energy-intensive technologies, experienced "energy hunger"! Shell export to the Balkan countries. Over the past 37 years, a lot has changed! Due to the bankruptcy of industry, domestic electricity consumption decreased by several times, and neighboring countries created their own capacities. The cost of Belem’s NPP itself has increased markedly! Behind the scenes, a struggle was fought between the pro-Russian lobby and the ego opponents! It is not in the interests of Bulgaria that construction was launched several times, and then stopped. One of the most important crimes of the Russian lobby was the signing of a contract for the resumption of construction of the Belene NPP in 2006 and its continuation in 2011! Construction itself is resumed in 2008 under the direct patronage of the then Minister-Chairman Sergei Stanishev! A little deviate and tell you who he is! Reference:
      "Sergei Dmitrievich Stanishev -Born in Kherson (Ukraine), his mother was a citizen of the USSR. Son of Dimitar Y. Stanishev, a native of modern Macedonia, former secretary of the Central Committee of the BKP, responsible for international relations of the BKP, and Dina Sergeyevna Mukhina, professor of the Faculty of Slavic Philology of SU. a citizen of the USSR, and then Russia until the 1995 year. In 1989, he graduated from the history department of Moscow State University, in 1999-2000, he trained at the London School of Economics and Political Science. "
      This resulted in fines for which Rossatom condemned Bulgaria in 2016. It so happened that Bulgaria either had to drown with a few billion euros without a profit guarantee or pay half a million and stop digging money in this bottomless pit!

            It depends on the mood of your friends in Bulgaria. Attitude in many respects depends on how you feel about the Bulgarians. As an example and for comparison, I’ll give a few videos from YouTube here.

            Impressions of a Russian guy living in Bulgaria.

            And this video is from Shipka. I think quite clearly the Bulgarians react to the appearance of the Russian delegation. By the way, at the same time, in Russian media, a fake was circulated in millions of copies about "Erdogan’s invitation to Shipki and not Russian invitations!" Do you see Erdogan there ??? And "he is there," according to Russian media! Regnum-mu.ru for example. lol

            And this is from a protest rally in Sofia in front of the Turkish embassy, ​​after the downing of a Russian plane over Syria by the Turks.

        You are in a place where you should not express an opinion different from that of an aggressive and stubborn majority.
        If our people have developed a certain stereotype about the Bulgarians, then you can’t change it.
        If we ourselves forgot how “fun” it was under socialism, then we do not tolerate in our opponents qualities that you have that have the courage and desire to objectively compare.
        You know such a Russian song:
        "I remember a long time ago, my father and mother taught me.
        To treat, so to treat! To love is to love!
        To walk, so to walk! Shoot, so shoot! "?
        This is the essence of the Russian people.
        There is no measure. There are no brakes. There is no self-criticism. There is no memory.
        More precisely, there is. But worthless quickly forget.
        This is a property of character. We had to go through too much over a centuries-old history.
        Many believe that only the Russians got such a share.
        And Bulgarians, Greeks, Hungarians, Romanians, etc. lived in bliss.
        We just managed to independently drive out the Mongols, Iranians, Ottomans, Germans and comrades.
        And others did not succeed.
        You should not try to prove to us that now, in the EU, you began to live better than under socialism.
        We will not understand this.
        But we are waiting for a cow to die at a neighbor, so that later it can be declared by raising a finger to the top - did we tell you ?!
        And if she didn’t die, did she bring calves?
        ABOUT! Then this will begin!

        Just for information.
        My grandfather, Miron Costa, I will not indicate the name, emigrated from Bulgaria in 20 years.
        He took part in revolutionary activities in his homeland. But probably so carried away that they were going to plant him.
        He quickly fled to Romania, and then by boat reached Novorossiysk.
        Next, Rostov. Where he died of consumption in 10 years.

    According to opinion polls, membership in the European Union is estimated positively by 57% of Bulgarians. Only 14% are negative, and one fourth has a neutral position. The level of support is quite high due to the notable successes achieved by the Bulgarian economy over the past 5 years (stable growth of 3,6-3,9%). So, for example - Bulgaria's GDP in 2017 exceeded the bar of 50 billion euros, which is a record for the entire history of the country!

    Where did it come from?
    1. That 57% positively assess EU membership; I have deep doubts. Where did it come from and what kind of sociologists are there? Nobody ever asked the Bulgarians about EU membership, did not beat the referendum and did not hold any discussion on this topic.
    2. There has been no economic growth over 3% in the last 5 years. Such growth has only hit in the past two years. At the same time, Bulgaria does not catch up, does not reduce the gap with the rest of the EU countries (this requires a growth rate of more than 6% per year). On the contrary, shaving increases. Our neighbors do not belong to the EU (Turkey, Serbia), the growth is much higher.
    3. GDP of 50 billion dollars is not a record in the history of Bulgaria. This is only a statistical focus based on the underestimated depreciation of the Bulgarian lev. 50 billion euros is 100 billion Bulgarian leva today. Bulgarian GDP in 1989 under socialism hit 40 billion leva.
    Ask who you want the Bulgarian (except for those working in Western funds) and they will tell you that today (on average) from 5 levs you can’t buy what cost 1 lev in 1989. So this is a record only for the era of capitalism - in 28 years they managed to achieve half of the GDP of socialist Bulgaria in 1989 (not the best year under socialism).
    4. What development and what progress if 40% of the population is below the border of poverty and “social exclusion”. Such people did not beat 30 years ago.
    5. This is a blessing for us that they do not accept in Schengen and in the euro zone. If the EU did not accept the beating, the beats are even better.

      Nobody ever asked the Bulgarians about EU membership, did not beat the referendum and did not hold any discussion on this topic.

      You may not have been asked. I was asked. Entry into the EU is not a one-time act. This is the process that began at 22.12.1990 with the decision of the Great National Assembly! In all elections, subsequently, the victorious parties declared their commitment to this idea! There were so many discussions that suspicion arises ... you either did not live in Bulgaria or you were deaf.
      There has not been any increase in economy over 3% over the last 5 years. Such growth has only hit in the last two years.

      Look at the Eurostad data. You can argue what% but growth is.
      GDP in 50 billion dollars is not a record in the history of Bulgaria. This is only a statistical focus based on the underestimated depreciation of the Bulgarian lev. 50 billion Euros This is 100 billion Bulgarian leva today. Bulgaria's GDP in 1989 under socialism beat 40 billion leva.

      50 BILLION EURA! = 61,5 billion. $ 40 billion. CONVERSIBLE socialist levs did NOT have real market equivalents! LEO did not have material and currency coverage! "depreciation" of the left and there is bringing the ego to real value! The foreign exchange reserve was less than half a billion dollars, with debts exceeding GDP by several times. Remember the moratorium on loan payments in 90!
      Ask who you want the Bulgarian (except for those working in Western foundations) and they will tell you that today with 5 leva you can’t buy what the 1 lion cost in 1989 year.

      1. You obviously ask nostalgic youth pensioners. 2. I do not work in any funds. 3. Under socialism, money was / printed without problems /, and it was difficult to buy something with it. Commodity deficiency - a chronic defect in soc. The prices for what was available were low, but "there were" few.
      What development and what successes if 40% of the population is below the border of poverty and “social exclusion”. Such people 30 years ago did not beat.

      Under capitalism, it is so. Socialism fed everyone, albeit badly. They worked left, but they were not hungry. Now a person must feed himself and for this purpose he must work well !!! Under socialism, all lazy people and party nomenklatur lived better. Now he lives well, the one who is ready to compete for a place in the sun. Who wants as if social ... flag in hand and to North Korea! Toka UTB ticket in one direction! A person will have a problem if he doesn’t like it there and wants to howl ... In Russia, I don’t advise them to go! There is capitalism!
      This is a blessing for us that they do not accept in Schengen and in the euro zone. If the EU didn’t accept, the beating was even better.

    Salaries, although 5-6 times behind the German ones, are nevertheless in second place in growth among the EU countries. 20 years ago, this difference was 18-20 times. The financial condition in the country is stable today. By the ratio of external government debt to GDP, Bulgaria is one of the three EU countries with the best indicators. The fact is impressive - in view of the fact that 27 years ago Bulgaria left the era of socialism bankrupt (in the 90s it declared a moratorium on payments on external loans), now gold and currency reserves in the amount of 22,5 billion euros have been collected in the treasury.

    1. 20 years ago, the financial crisis hit, and on average, earnings in Bulgaria, after socialism, always lagged behind the German 5-6 times in exchange rates and 3-4 times in purchasing power. Under socialism, the lag in purchasing power from Germany hit less than 2 times. More than 90% of the Bulgarians under socialism bought their own home, which is much more than in Germany.

      ... according to the exchange rate of currencies ... Under socialism, the lag in purchasing power from Germany hit less than 2 times. More than 90% of Bulgarians under socialism bought their own home, which is much more than in Germany.

      You yourself are not embarrassed, you have revealed the falsity of the socialist left! It was "money" printed on paper and nothing more! What comparison in purchasing power can be between them and the German brand ?! With the lion, little could be bought! And with the German brand everything!
      More than 90% of Bulgarians with social services, forced to migrate to cities. Waited for 20 years to get a home! And they paid the ego for so many more years! Of course this does not apply to nomenclature! For some reason, she loved Western currencies, not the socialist Bulgarian lion!

      Where did the 22,5 children get the euro reserves from the treasury? Who deceived you. 20 billion euros may bit Bulgaria’s external debt (states and private businesses. Debt is now much lower as a percentage of GDP than in 1989

      Nonsense from the parallel universe! I won’t even discuss it. No.

      A loan moratorium was announced in 1990 to justify the restoration of capitalism in Bulgaria, and he beat part of this restoration.

      A moratorium was announced, for a completely prosaic reason! There was no currency in the treasury!

      The debt of the Bulgarian Foreign Trade Bank (90% of external debt) was not beaten by the sovereign debt of Bulgaria. This was beaten by a merchant bank and loans did not beat guarantees by the state.

      A very strange hint in view of the fact that debt accumulated during socialism, but with social services everything / the bank, trade, industry, etc. / was state-owned.

      In general, a person will always be dissatisfied with something ... bully And if all the same he’s fine, he’s afraid to boast, but he won’t be jinxed! This is human nature!

      House? How many years did you have to wait in line? And once acquired, could you sell it? Did you live in socialist Bulgaria or some other country? Dwellings were “sold” through municipal authorities! They determined the price and buyers on the lists too! There was no corruption, or what? Car? 20-30 years? Why did the old 10 summer Frets cost 2 times more expensive than the new ones? How could you get a car or a house without a queue? By special privileges if you are a "fighter against fascism"! With currency. If you are a high-ranking nomenclature. It was like that from everything! Remember coupons for gasoline? And running around to the shops, where "they let the goods in short supply"? Queues for sausages? There was bread, but you’ll be late, it’s over! Grandparents went to the "position" in advance! Can you compare the current variety of goods in stores and supermarkets with those of social services? How much was everyone looking for relatives and friends who worked in Arabian countries and had currency? Do you remember the "core"? You enter there and somehow you get into another Universe! To the theater, cinema, yes ... But why, sometimes under the line forced the "labor teams" to go on stage? Maybe because of the socialist "art" subsidized! Why for a really good movie, tickets had to be looked up from the link! It has all the necessary connections! Without personal connections, relatives, etc. the man who lived in "the fairest society" had no chance! At universities, how was it? Someone read on exams, and someone ordered a place daddy! How many fools without brains and abilities graduated from universities, and became leaders in the line of "slave phages" (the so-called where workers' departments took "representatives of the working class" without exams)? And how many gifted boys and girls were forced to study as private students, because their parents are “enemies of the people”? Can you tell how many little sons the nomenclature of the middle and top level served as border guards? About books ... The best example, the failure of socialism! I was at my faraway family visit. He is a book lover. He showed me his library! I'm crazy! A whole huge room, with the most interesting books that you can find out! I have never seen them on the shelves! I sincerely admired the ego of the collection! So huge, rich with the best books! He looked at me ambiguously and said - Yes. Here in this room, selected all the best books that I could get! But the HUGE part of the bill is not here ... She is in other rooms. There are 5 times more books that no one wants to read. I had to buy for every valuable book, another 5 which I am sorry to throw away, so I keep them in other rooms. so it was! They will put some good-selling book on sale, but you must buy with it all sorts of mischief. Proceedings of socialist authors! Even with such mockery, the queues were scary! But in general, what was not the line? Ahh .. remembered! About work!!! I’m not talking about work in principle, but about work for which I had to work!

          I remember a lot of things. Both in 60 and 70. Socialism initially solved some important problems in society. But created others. He did not manage to cope with their accumulation. Because of his inability to evolve. This happens in social systems based on top-to-bottom initiative. Power corrupts, and absolute power absolutely. If society is deprived of the opportunity to make decisions, it cannot cope with changes occurring in its environment. The tops rotted and it was natural. To periodically consume them as Stalin did, is not a solution to this fundamental problem.

    1. Again stupidity or ignorance. When the "Sots" people were more likely to be prevented from migrating in cities and especially in Sofia.
    2. Maybe someone lived on the street? I don’t remember such people. They are only now there. Of course, in Sofia, someone was waiting to receive a new house in place of the old one. Then in the year 60-70 thousand new houses were made and not enough. Now 9-10 thousand a year and there are no buyers.
    3. The house paid 10-15% of one salary. Despite the fact that at least two salaries hit the family and did not beat people without work and income.

    Why then it is necessary to vote in parliament in 1994 to turn the debt of the Bulgarian Foreign Trade Bank into states?
    Because, as the name itself shows, BVB is a bank that is not guaranteed by the state and all creditors knew it well and carried their risk like all private investors around the world. Debt has accumulated from the ineffective investment of foreign private lenders in this bank. Therefore, they agreed to a 50% reduction in debt, so that the state would cover half of their losses.

    1. The restoration of capitalism 30 years ago is more similar to necrophilia. And I can’t live under socialism in my homeland because there are such people who brought 40% of the population below the poverty line and social exclusion (official statistics) and their media 24 hours a day convince people how bad it was and how my people suffered under socialism. I’m not at all funny, but only shameful from this.
    2. Again we repeat the obvious. Western private business invested in a merchant bank at your own risk, as in all such banks in the world. Nobody zatulit this thing and they knew it very well. He invested in Western equipment (the production of computers in Pravets, the Krasnya Mogila-Radomir plant, and so on). When the restoration of capitalism began, they lost their market and investments were ineffective. All this has nothing to do with the planned socialist economy and the efficiency of the socialist state, but it is 100% connected with the inefficiency of private capital. My same is observed today in tens and hundreds of examples.
    Then western private capital through its government in 1994 managed to turn its losses into debt states, as this also happens very often under capitalism. And what was built under socialism by the state has worked for a long time and is working now, it beats it and is the pillar of our economy today (AEC, EEC, TEC Maritsa-Vostok, Neftekhim, plant G. Damyanov-Pirdop and so on).

      I do not want to enter into disputes about socialism and capitalism, since it will be endless and we will never reach one opinion. When Sots lived well, poor and uninitiated! Those who do not have the ability to make decisions! They are more convenient and comfortable when someone else from above commands! For those who are socially and politically active, who have ideas and abilities, they did not like socialism. Of course, capitalism is far from ideal! In general, each for itself is determined. People like you make one fundamental mistake! They put their personal attitude as national. And the statistics are clear! Growth matters. There is a fact - socialism is gone! He turned out to be unviable! It does not matter for what reasons! Well, it was impossible to move from such pseudo-socialism to a “bright communist future”! There is no road ahead for a crooked wheel!
      Our Bulgarians have a special mentality. Healthy conservatism and innate distrust. Developed during our complex 13 century of history. We people are resistant to informational impact. Your statement about the influence of the media is very overpowered.
      About the situation with bankruptcies and debts, I will probably write a stat. This is one of the poorly lit facts in our socialist history. So far, not enough free time! Affairs!

    Essentially: write more articles about Bulgaria, Peter. Indeed, in Russia they somehow completely forgot about Bulgaria for a quarter of a century, and if they write, it is only in connection with energy projects and NATO movements.
    I have a question on the article: well, you don’t have this open Schengen, and why the hell do you need it? What is the problem of getting a visa and going to Schengen, given that Bulgaria is an EU member? We, in Russia, are not particularly annoying. After all, if the Bulgarians open their borders, then immediately crowds of Negroes and Arabs will rush there. Do you need it, comrades Bulgarians? They dirtied all the beaches and streets, sucked on benefits to the economy with fat ticks, divorced drugs, crime, illnesses, started creating their own terrorist cells, Paris, Berlin as an example ....

        Well, not in Berlin, but in Brussels, if you are talking about subsidies from the EU budget. Yes, theoretically, the Bulgarians can cut back on the amount of subsidies if they give up amero-weapons, but this will lead to such a screech in the Euro-media (Brussels is lobbying for the interests of the American military-industrial complex, Bulgaria is being punished economically for refusing to acquire super-expensive American weapons, etc.). European bureaucrats are unlikely to embark on such a scam. They will put pressure on the government.

      As for Bulgaria’s desire to enter Schengen. First of all, it has image significance, as a recognition of our successes. It's a shame that Greece, having much worse results, is in Schengen, and Bulgaria, which meets all the requirements, does not accept. It is assumed that the adoption of Bulgaria in Schengen will have a beneficial effect on the development of tourism.
      As for the acquisition of weapons. Nowhere in the world do such orders pass without scandals and corruption games ... Always, someone wants to fill their pockets! You suggest a good idea, but there are a few problems. Especially with aviation. At present, Russia does not have a single fighter which, according to its characteristics, could even answer theoretically to the needs of the Bulgarian Air Force. We need an inexpensive, economical, highly maneuverable, multi-functional single-engine fighter whose avionics is compatible with NATO. No, Russia has that. It will hold open tenders, but I don’t see how Russia will be able to participate in them. I see a huge mistake with Russian aircraft manufacturers. They are not flexible and have not developed adequate solutions for such Bulgarian markets. Even the fact that Russia is a non-NATO country is not so important! Could, through a joint consortium, enter Western markets with Western firms! There is an example with the Yak-130, even though they ultimately did not agree with the Italians and parted. And the Italians on the Buzz of the same Yak-130 developed their own modification, which, although it does not reach the Gripenov and Folkonov class, shows the right direction!

          Apologies are accepted.
          Unfortunately you are right - the time is coming for supranational corporations, not states. So everywhere and any person will be considered in terms of profit (currency does not matter).

        It is strange that the site administration cannot resolve this issue. Correctors of texts they have run out of something. Write to them that readers require your articles. wink

        to Schengen. First of all, it has an image value ... will have a beneficial effect on the development of tourism.

        Image is nothing - thirst for everything! Well, what about refugees from Africa and the Middle East? Do you need these crowds of parasites who will spoil on your streets and scare away with their dirty appearance respectable burghers and prim ladies? Russians and relatives in spirit may not notice them, but a well-groomed western tourist may not like this.

        I'm at 100% sure that MiG RSK could achieve much better results on the development of this machine in the Italian way! Why not? A variant of a joint venture of Bulgarian, European, etc. firms? Bad management at Russian companies! For me it's a fact!

        Machines (Su, Migi), first of all, are made for themselves, that is, according to the specified performance characteristics from the Ministry of Defense, without regard to possible buyers from other countries. And no one will allow foreigners to their secret technologies, experience with the Indians, in this regard, is remarkable.

          Well, correcting texts is not their responsibility. In addition, probably not all the stats offered to me respond to site policies. Whatever it was, I will rely on friends! good

          With proper marketing, the image is converted into profit. For tourism, this is important! Some bureaucratic membranes will disappear!
          Well, what about refugees from Africa and the Middle East?

          Entering Schengen for Bulgaria will not change the situation with refugees. The Bulgarian-Turkish border is THE MOST PROTECTED OF EVERYONE IN THE EU! In addition to border guards, it is guarded by voluntary paramilitary groups. In addition, a professional foreign security company also operates. There is a stobor, video surveillance and everything you need. Bulgaria is the most inhospitable place for Islamic migrants in the EU. So it is written in the migrant’s memos issued by the Turkish refugee authorities. They are struggling to get around Bulgaria. There are no more than 3-4 thousand in the BG. migrants. Max. reached 9 thousand. Those who still arrive do not stay long. In 705, the Bulgarian Kan Terver, under Constantinople, helped the Byzantines to stop the Arabian invasion in Europe. In the 14 century, the Balkan countries did not take history into account and allowed the Turks. For that they paid off with the 5 century of slavery. Now the Bulgarians took a lesson and coolly locked the doors from the southeast. The truth is now Bulgarian employers are promoting the bill at 30% of the quota for hiring foreigners. Workers do not grab, and the Bulgarians no longer want to work for a penny. It would be more reasonable to facilitate the relocation of the Bulgarian diasporas in their homeland! It is more than a million Bulgarians living in other countries.

          In Bulgaria, this issue has been discussed publicly for a long time. Theme for another article. President Gen. R. Radev has all the competencies, but he does not solve the problem.
          Cars (Su, Migi), first of all, do for themselves

          It is understandable, but it was within their power to create an inexpensive to operate, single-engine, lightweight, maneuverable, supersonic fighter for foreign markets. You can learn from the Chinese. The same JF-17 "Thunder" is an impressive development of an older model. Especially for export!
