Bulgaria Before & Now

An historical photo of Soviet Red Army liberating Sofia was printed as a postcard to commemorate this historical event in our history. But this historical victory over fascism in World War II is currently being presented by the reactionary anti-Slav propaganda as nothing else but a “Soviet occupation” and postwar “brutal economic plunder.”

But this photo shows how the Bulgarian people were welcoming the Soviet Red Army in September of 1944. Similar events followed later in Belgrade, Bratislava, Prague and in many other smaller and larger cities and towns on the way to the liberation of Berlin.

But just one example of the so-called “Soviet economic exploitation of Bulgaria”- the only bridge over the Danube was built by the Soviets in less than s a year and a half - during the hardest postwar ruins. But this present fabulous so-called EU has since 1999 been talking and talking. Huge volumes of data and economic development and industrial help that was given by the Soviet Union can be written about, in those that the reactionary elements call the “dark days of Soviet occupation.” These volumes can be written even by non-specialists who saw and see before their eyes what the Soviet Union did to help!

But now, even a single page to describe what is being done today would be too big.

Dear members of Editorial Board of NSC and members of the International Council.

Here are some of my thoughts as how to improve the NSC journal:

• I feel that there should be more interaction with the readers as to the topics to be covered and what they like and dislike.
• More planning of the contents should be undertaken and letters to the Editor should be continued since this will add dynamism to NSC. Also members of the Editorial Board should take a more active part in planning and writing.
• No prominent Anniversary or Date of the USSR should be left out. You should have covered the 85th Anniversary of the USSR.
• There should be more input by the Soviet comrades who write and publish the Russian Edition of NSC. This should be geared towards the younger generation there and over the world.
• The covers act also as posters but we get those issues a month later in Europe and you should plan it ahead so that we can get NSC in the month that the cover event took place.

Of course I understand that these suggestions will give you more problems, but I cannot see Michael Lucas doing more than he is as Editor of NSC and as Chairman of the International Council. He needs more help.

If I will have anymore ideas before the International Council Conference I will send them to you.

Until then I spiritually join you with my best wishes for good health and to go on still further with our work in the noble cause that unites us and also so many people around the world.
