“168 Hours”: How 42 Soviet Soldiers Poisoned themselves with Methyl Alcohol and Died “Heroically in Battle”

A dispute over military monuments has shaken Burgas these days. According to a May 14th publication by Flagman, one of two plaques bearing the names of Soviet soldiers at a memorial in the local Holy Trinity Park was smashed. The article also quoted the outraged Russian activist, who reacted sharply.

“In Burgas, the mass grave of Soviet soldiers was desecrated. It was not just flooded with paint, but the marble plaque with the names of the buried was broken. This is no longer vandalism, this is fascism.

Fascism,

who should

to be stopped “,

Tatiana Lipova, who also posted a photo of the damage, was outraged by her status in the group “We, the Russian-Speakers in Bulgaria”.

The remnants of the plaque were then removed and replaced by an angry message urging the perpetrators to “grab machine guns and go fight” – a clear allusion to the war in Ukraine.

In fact, long before these events and the expansion of the monument from a few years ago, this monument, which is located on the site of the old cemetery in our seaside town, scandalized society.

The reason is that almost 8 decades ago a curious tragedy took place in Burgas. Hundreds of Red Army soldiers come across alcohol tanks. Known for their passion for strong alcohol and without hearing the warnings of the Bulgarian guard that alcohol is not suitable for drinking, the Red Army rushed to drink from the fiery liquid found in our newly occupied country. They probably thought alcohol was

deserved trophy

or simply, without much thought, they succumbed to their passions, but this in no way justifies the stories that the innocent Bulgarian who guarded him was shot at point-blank range.
