Bulgaria But even after substantial reduction, Bulgaria's reparations payments were 20 percent of her budget in 1928, and the return to the gold standard that year weakened the economy one year before the onset of world depression. The country was tied to the former for economic reasons and because Germany promised territorial revision for Bulgaria, and to the latter because Boris was married to the daughter of King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy. While Bulgaria discontinued its liberal 1969 emigration agreement with Turkey (presumably to prevent a shortage of unskilled labor resulting from free movement of Turkish workers back to their homeland), in 1984 Bulgaria began a massive campaign to erase the national identity of Turkish citizens by forcing them to take Bulgarian names. www.mongabay.com /reference/country_studies/bulgaria/all.html   (17973 words)

The Virtual Jewish History Tour - Bulgaria Jewish refugees came to Bulgaria from Bavaria, which had banished them in 1470, and, according to various travelers, Judeo-German was heard for a long time in the streets of Sofia. In the aftermath of the German debacle at Stalingrad, it was thought that Bulgaria should not endanger her chances of an eventual disengagement from the German alliance by giving her hand to so monstrous an act.

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Bulgaria At the beginning of the Christian Era, what is now Bulgaria constituted the Roman provinces of Moesia and Thrace, a territory in which Christianity was preached at a very early period, as proved by the Council of Sardica in 343. The Berlin Congress of 1878 abrogated some of the provisions of the Peace of San Stefano and divided Greater Bulgaria into an autonomous Bulgarian principality and a province of Eastern Rumelia under a Christian governor-general, to be appointed by the Porte every five years, but subject to the approval of the Powers. The Catholics of Bulgaria are for the most part descendants of the Bogomili or Paulicians converted by the Franciscans during the sixteenth century, and are directly subject to the Diocese of Nicopolis with its seat at Rustchuk, and the Vicariate Apostolic of Sofia and Philippopolis, with the seat at Philippopolis. www.newadvent.org /cathen/03046a.htm   (1960 words)

Bulgaria - Government and Politics The second phase of the communist period, from 1948 through 1953, strengthened Bulgaria's traditionally close ties with the Soviet Union and established a pattern of imitating the Soviet Union in all major aspects of foreign and domestic policy. In spite of dramatic international changes and crises between 1954 and 1989, the Zhivkov era was the longest period of stable rule by a single administration in the history of the modern Bulgarian state. In the 1980s, however, the Zhivkov regime was overtaken by the wave of political liberation that swept all of Eastern Europe, and by the lethargy and corruption of an administration totally without opposition for nearly thirty years. countrystudies.us /bulgaria/42.htm   (879 words)

Embassy of Bulgaria Washington DC Of all the countries that were part of the Warsaw Pact, Bulgaria was destined to live longest under a system of government that imitated that of Joseph Stalin. As it is, the Communist dictatorship of Bulgaria finally came to an end, an end brought on, interestingly enough, by Bulgarian environmentalists who took advantage of an international meeting to demonstrate in the streets of Sofia against the environmental policies of their government. Bulgaria is today indeed a valued member of the family of democratic nations. www.bulgaria-embassy.org /WebPage/!/04072003-01.htm   (639 words)

The Little Magazine - Globalisation and its contents - Joseph Stiglitz, Anya Schiffrin - What the reporter saw A few months later we went to Bulgaria and found that reporters there were also supposed to be covering electricity privatisation.

Jews in Bulgaria In medieval Bulgaria Jews were concentrated in separate quarters of some of the country's larger cities.

The Story Of Religious Controversy: Chapter XXIII The heresy soon reappeared in Bulgaria in the sect of the Bogomiles ("Friends of God"), who would have won the entire nation and spread over Europe if the Church had not used its customary spiritual weapon: bloody persecution. As it was, the Bogomiles, a most earnest and ascetic sect, sent missionaries over Europe, and from the beginning of the eleventh century onward we find various shades of this semi-Manichaean religion -- (the true basis of witchcraft) appearing -- on the scaffold, of course -- in various parts of Europe. Albi, from which they take their name, was an important town in one of those lovely southern provinces of France which were to the country what southern California and Florida are to the United States. www.infidels.org /library/historical/joseph_mccabe/religious_controversy/chapter_23.html   (10328 words)

Last check: 2007-10-11) A research team from the Center for Jewish Art conducted an expedition to Bulgaria in August 1998 to document ritual objects, synagogues and cemeteries in the capital city of Sofia and cities and towns near the Black Sea. In all, the artistic legacy of the Jewish community of Bulgaria represents a magnificent patchwork of Turkish, Spanish and Greek sources, together with influences from Eastern Europe, such as Poland and Hungary. It is interesting to note that community members often use the Ottoman or occasionally Hellenic name of their cities on dedicatory inscriptions. www.hum.huji.ac.il /cja/NL15-bulgaria.htm   (1082 words)
