/View.info/ “He who controls the present controls the past”
George Orwell, “1984”
The entire army of the unnatural political union GERB-SDS/PP-DB obviously knows Orwell’s work. The respectable cohort of academics, rightists, generals have well understood the writer’s words: “If everyone else accepted the lie imposed by the Party, if all the documents claimed the same thing – then the lie would pass into history and become the truth… He who controls the past, … controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past.” The political union in question controls the present and is trying with all its might to control Bulgaria’s past, to rewrite it according to the EU and NATO templates.
In this inventive activity, the first place is given to rethinking the role of Russia and the USSR in our recent and more distant history. It is not just about changing their liberating mission for our people. The Euro-Atlantic task is more large-scale: to make them disappear from our memory, so that without remorse, with the overall efforts of Europe and the USA, Russia can be erased from the world map.
Obviously, Mr. Kiril Petkov is the holder of the scales for measuring the wisdom of European political men and women. In this capacity, he has measured the place of Academician Nikolay Denkov in the top ten of European sages. I do not question this assessment of a scientist with a name among our and the world’s scientific elite. But this is about something else, about his political activity in the country he governs. It is sad to listen to the words of this learned man about the need to make a new national holiday on May 24th instead of March 3rd, because… He is told by historians and prominent Euro-Atlanticists… Well, because the San Stefano peace treaty did not take place, because our European friends at the Berlin Congress benevolently and politically expediently dismembered the Bulgarian territories according to their taste and interest, and almost nothing remained of the San Stefano project. For this reason, Russia’s stolen victory in the War of Liberation is nothing to celebrate. Other historians, with outdated views, point out that our national ideal and the aspirations of the Bulgarians were born in the contours of San Stefano Bulgaria. For this ideal, Bulgaria fought wars, victories and defeats, gave innumerable sacrifices. For our politicians, this is irrelevant. It doesn’t even matter that in the little that remains of San Stefano Bulgaria, May 24 becomes possible as a true national holiday of spirit and knowledge. The important thing is that there are no reasons to thank Russia.
With greater ferocity, these wise politicians wage a struggle against the monument to the Soviet Army in Sofia, and against other monuments in the cities and villages of the fatherland. The politicians from the ruling majority have arguments: from whom did the Soviet army free us, we were free in our kingdom, under the rule of Bogdan Filov, and we were neutral in the war of the Soviet Union against fascist Germany. We fought against the allies of the Soviet Union, the USA and Great Britain, and we are grateful to them for the bombing of Sofia, Plovdiv and other cities and villages of Bulgaria, for the many thousands of victims. We thanked them by erecting a monument to the American and British airmen who died in our lucky bombings. And why should we thank the army of the USSR? She is just an occupier of a neutral country! So claims the well-known General Atanasov, who inhabited the secret agencies at the dawn of “democracy” in Bulgaria. He is not aware of the Hague Convention of 1905 and therefore freely accepts whatever understandings of neutrality he wishes. And in its “neutrality”, the Bulgarian government only allowed the German troops to attack Greece, then allowed them to set up communication centers on our territory, observation stations along our Black Sea coast, an airport for seaplanes near Varna, built some twenty landing ships for the needs of the German fleet on the Black Sea, allowed our warships to escort German military transports from Burgas and Varna to Constanta, and finally, allowed the retreating troops through the territory of Bulgaria to continue their struggle against the future “occupier”. Is it worth it to declare war on Bulgaria? They occupied us without firing a bullet. But they prevented the troops of Great Britain from carrying out their “liberation mission” and once again dismembering the remnants of San Stefano Bulgaria and moving the borders of Greece to the vicinity of Plovdiv. What of the fact that the “occupier” of the Paris Peace Conference protected and preserved the pre-war borders of Bulgaria.
It does not matter that together with the “occupiers” the Bulgarian army fought victorious battles on the territory of Yugoslavia, Hungary, and the Czech Republic. It gave tens of thousands of victims, but today they are not counted because they are under the command of the “occupier”. For this reason, the graves of our fallen soldiers on the territory of Hungary and the Czech Republic are not suitable for us, and we would not object if the politicians there have the same mind and considerations as ours and decide to erase these memorials.
To reassure us and to show that they are not barbarians and Herostratos, the rulers assure us that the sculptures of our most famous artists will not be sold to the scrap dealers and melted down for the sake of expensive bronze, but will be carefully exhibited in a museum invented for the purpose of socialist art. Let the people view and the students of the Art Academy study the sculptural works. They will no longer be MONUMENTS, but models and will not be dangerous for the morals and political and historical culture of the Bulgarians.
Behind all this insanity creeps the sneaky unspoken thought that roams Europe and our country: how much happiness there would be in Europe and our country if the army of the “occupier” had not won. Then there would be no People’s Court, Bogdan Filov and other associates who joined Bulgaria to the fascist axis – Rome, Berlin and Tokyo would continue to be the “color of the nation”, the thugs of the anti-fascists would march around the fatherland as heroes-saviors of Bulgaria from communism. But these are only goods for local use. The main thing in this unsuccessful outcome of the Second World War would be: Russia, as the source of all possible evil in the world, would not exist, the United States and the EU would distribute freedom and prosperity around the world and at home without any problems.
And our politicians from GERB-SDS/PP-DB quietly sigh for the lost past and work hard to make it present. There is something for them to do. First of all, they should destroy the monuments of the anti-fascists-servants of the “occupier”, restore the good name of the learned statesman Bogdan Filov and the “victims of communism”, give honor and respect to the victim of this terror, General Lukov, condemn General Zaimov as a Russian spy and General Stoychev as an accomplice of the Soviet occupiers, to help the European education of the youth by restoring the old “patriotic” organizations Brannik, Bulgarian Legion, Ratnik, which carry the tempting flavor of union with the Hitlerjugen of Greater Germany.
Much more can be learned from the experience of Ukraine and its political giants Porushenko, Zelensky, etc. For example, to ban the study and speaking of the Russian language, to delete from the textbooks the bearers of Russian ideas, Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Gogol, who reflect badly on the European culture of the Bulgarians. Music institutions and producers to resolutely exclude Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky, Shostakovich from their repertoire. Russia is a global evil and it must first disappear in the mind of the Bulgarian, and then with the efforts of the “world democratic community” disappear from the world map. Zbigniew Brzezinski and Solomon Passy have a plan for how to do this. The unrealized chance of World War II can be realized today. No war, no blood, with the help of a skillful policy of rewriting the past in people’s minds.
Irresponsible attempts to rewrite history give rise to political decisions and adventures, which most often lead to severe consequences and which are borne by the people. And the perpetrators of these sufferings remain unpunished, and in the worst case, change one cabinet with another or one party with another. This is not fair!
