Bulgaria became a on independent country in 1908, so it was an established country before they were a part of the Communist Block. So when the Soviet Union broke up in 1989 they were already an established country and had their first multi party elections in 1990.
Most people would say that by walking through the center city you have the visual history of Bulgaria. Alexander Nevski cathedral reminds you of centuries of Ottoman rule until Russia drove them out. A significant number of statues and building remind you of the communist rule as part of the soviet socialist republic. The Modern buildings and current lifestyle, that are sitting next to communist era buildings, remind of the transformation into a modern European Union country. Today we go on a communist tour that will explain what it was like during that era. I'm sure, after this tour, I will have a lot more information on this subject.
