Ivan Bakalov in front of FACT: Todor Zhivkov surprised everyone when he said that "socialism is a premature baby (VIDEO)

Populist parties are trying to exploit memories of the good old days, because for a large part of the population there was some peace and security under communism. This covers the reality of Todor Zhivkov's rule - 33 years. This type of rule is measured by pharaohs, not many Roman emperors have served that long. I think Octavian Augustus served 40 years. In our medieval history, there is a Tsar Peter who served as long as Todor Zhivkov. How can someone appear in a communist party who, like a pharaoh, has served so many years. This is a sick society. Because 33 years of power is a one-man rule, disguised as socialism, as communism. Finally, Todor Zhivkov himself surprised everyone when he said that “Socialism is a premature baby“. This was announced to Lili Marinkova in the “FACTI“ studio and the “Conversation“ program by journalist Ivan Bakalov.

“Now, today, politicians are afraid to associate themselves with Todor Slavkov, who died. Politicians follow the rule - for the dead, either good or nothing. Todor Slavkov had no authority for any political personality. His life was mostly associated with drunken stories, like a playboy. If we were a normal country, in such a death they would usually carry out some kind of expertise - whether there were drugs, alcohol. Let's read about such things in the news from abroad, but here there is complete silence. Nothing is mentioned. It became clear that Todor Slavkov committed suicide, but many people commit suicide after many years of alcohol and drug use, because this addiction leads to depression and distortion of people's consciousness“, Bakalov also shared.
