Forget your Past by Timothy Allen

Buzludja (Бузложа) is Bulgaria’s largest ideological monument to Communism. Designed by architect Georgi Stoilov, more than 6000 workers were involved in its 7 year construction including 20 leading Bulgarian artists who worked for 18 months on the interior decoration. A small, universally expected donation from every citizen in the country formed a large portion of the funds required to build this impressive structure that was finally unveiled in 1981 on what was the 1300th anniversary of the foundation of the Bulgarian state. – Timothy Allen
