/ world today news/ I am glad – and thank you – that I somehow attract your attention with my comments.
But I keep drawing you to the Swamp – that amorphous thing that passes for politics in our country.
I know that your hopes – and rather your anger – are rightly directed there.
However, I’ve been meaning to check something out for quite some time: how would you accept memories of people who have left their mark on Time – in one way or another.
People who raved about you – and who would surely feel uncomfortable today, amidst the general noise and rudeness.
I don’t think they would even comprehend what was happening before their eyes.
***
I don’t know if you have paid attention, but in the section “Intimate from the profile” /on the left of the page/ I have already presented several famous people – Partsalev, Radoi Ralin, Kazakov-Nerona, Dimovski, Stoichkov…
There is also a curious reading about the scandal that Lily Ivanova, somewhat artificially, caused at the time – in an absent argument with Slavi Trifonov.
Even when I uploaded the publication in question, I said to myself that I should also introduce Emil Dimitrov – so that we remember not only one voice, but also another style – life and creative.
I’m doing it now.
Hope you like similar readings too.
If it happens – together we will remember many more bright names…

THE UNKNOWN /TODAY/ IDOL
Lily said she deserved the rank of colonel – my friends laughed.
With such a military minister, she might be right.
But then he had to posthumously produce Emil Dimitrov in the title of generalissimo – but he did not do it, because Emil could not sing at his pre-election speech in Sliven.
***
Some went to Emil’s deathbed just to make sure he was gone and there would be no one to share the “glory” with.
***
I will never forget an episode from the 25th anniversary of “Every Sunday”.
I went down to meet him at the entrance to the NDK.
Two people pulled him out of the car with difficulty.
They held him tightly as he writhed with visible effort.
Death was already at his side.
And suddenly he noticed the cameras.
In an instant his face underwent an indescribable transformation.
The mask of suffering is gone – replaced by the look of the King of Pop.
Because he knew that people loved him and he did not fight with them.
Then we entered the NDK and everything fell apart.
***
We were never close, and I had no pretense that I had any special regard for him.
That’s why I was surprised by his words to Anton Stefanov / “77 testimonies. The legend and its heroes”/ – here they are:
“I am grateful to “Every Sunday” because Kevorkian invited me in a period when I had problems with appearances, recordings.
They didn’t let me on radio and television.
Suddenly he pushed me and lifted me up.”
***
I had done nothing in particular, so I was struck by the nobility of this man’s memory.
***
I offer you two photos from our meeting at the NDK, as well as a small fragment of a completely forgotten interview with him – April 22, 1990, it was taken on the eve of his anniversary.
There are no big jokes or jokes in it – The King as a Man…
