Hard days have come for Hristo Drumev – the legendary former director of the National Palace of Culture and Deputy Minister of Culture. The health of the white-haired magician is seriously shaken and needs specialized care.
The veteran has been in hospital for more than a month, but his condition has not improved, Weekend writes.
“He is very old and that further complicates his situation. Doctors do not give high hopes, but will continue to fight. Hristo is certainly not sick with Kovid-19, something else is bothering him “, shared well-informed sources.
Our informants did not want to reveal the patient’s diagnosis because they were not authorized by his relatives.
Drumev was born 88 years ago in the family of a big capitalist. In the early years he received a law degree and because he spoke many languages, he was appointed to a staff in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Subsequently, he worked abroad – in representative offices of companies and as a cultural attaché in Vienna, and in 1988 he headed the National Palace of Culture “Lyudmila Zhivkova”. The National Palace of Culture ruled until 2011, when it was removed by a decision of the GERB government.
For 31 years, Drumev was an agent and collaborator of the State Security under the pseudonyms Draganov and Boril. As a spy in the 1960s, he sensed that a coup was being prepared in Iraq that would bring Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr and Saddam Hussein to power.
No other intelligence at that time had the valuable information, only the Bulgarian intelligence was aware. For his big blow Hristo was awarded BGN 200 by the State Security and received a medal.
Details of the coup our agent learns while ticking cards. Drumev has always been passionate about poker and bridge and has more than once played “tied up” with famous Bulgarians. “Pavel Vezhinov, Georgi Markov … I robbed them all and so I brought a lot of money home. The rates were very high, “he admitted.
