If we look at history, there are not many cases in which relations between Bulgaria and Russia at the state level were as bad as they are at the moment.
Political Suicide Escaped - Is It?

The country will not have a government of Simeon II National Movement and its next prime minister is unlikely to be Simeon Saxe-Coburg either.
Rumours became true on Thursday when the party of former king and former premier announced it would be incapable to fulfill a government mandate, if given to them. They just escaped a political suicide in the face of missing firm support from the rest of political players.
Simeon Saxe-Coburg did well - he denied doing something a lot of others wanted him to do and thus sign the political suicide of himself and his party.
The news turn over another page in the futile efforts of all political elite and new-comer politicians to "bear a healthy child" of compromise and give Bulgaria a stable government.
On the background of calamity, which floods brought onto Bulgaria over the last two months, the political scenarios are taking turns on the stage, but the play is foul already. If in the beginning, nearly two months ago, it was possible to predict configurations and combinations, now the mess is almost complete.
Right-wingers say they could coalesce with left-wingers. The center is impotent to generate whatsoever spirit of unification. Left-wingers have obviously forgotten the lessons of history and try playing "blind date".
Nothing is now what it used to be. In fact, Bulgaria is running on autopilot since December last year, when the failed deal with Bulgartabac fueled a wide political crisis. The cabinet reshuffle just saved precious time for both incumbents and opposition to carry on with pre-elections campaign.
The situation here is a full reflection of the ancient sense of democracy - power of the people. Because it was people mostly to help themselves amid the deluge; it was people who decided not to go to the polling booths, because the vote is just a balloon that puffs away on the very next day after polls.
Seven parties are too much - but how much would be enough? What is the winning combination to save the country from re-elections in the fall?
Political will, I think. The will to think like ordinary people think. The will to govern and create benefits. Beneficial climate will invite more investors - and people will be happy. Just as simple - but as hard to complete.
Three must be the rescue number for Bulgaria, which made a lot to reach to the threshold of the European Union. Three must be the number of the mandate to be successfully realized by Bulgarian politicians on the basis of compromise, insight in the future and broad political and public support.
Mr President, count to three and decide fast! We have no more time to lose.

Good Nationalists, Bad Nationalists and Pro-European Governments
