Opening a hot summer, Bulgaria has apparently opened another season of flooding. Climate is changing - even the firmest skeptics should admit it, and heavy rains during hotter summer will be a growing common phenomenon here - and nothing calamitous in the simple fact of it. What seems to be more calamitous than the storms and torrents is the alarming repetition of events, which occurred just a year ago. Last summer's massive flooding was caused to a large extent to silted riverbeds and uncleaned canals. This year's first reminding of nature's might put forward the same problems - a year after it was evident what should have been done. What do we need more? Governmental commitment? Bulgaria has a new Disasters Management Ministry. Funds? It was just a month ago that the EU Solidarity Fund paid off hefty aid for Bulgaria to reconstruct its flood-damaged infrastructure. Experience? I believe no one would like to see his home flooded twice or trice. Well, I suppose a more relaxed season will come in after lessons are drawn from affects of over-construction, unfinished roads and poor (or missing) sewage system and unfriendly look to environment. Nature is a good teacher - only when you have learned your lesson well!

Boycott of Moscow's Victory Day Parade Helps New Iron Curtain Fall
The term “Iron Curtain” was not coined by Winston Churchill, but it was he who turned it into one of the symbols of the latter part of the twentieth century by using it in his famous Fulton speech of 1946.
Good Nationalists, Bad Nationalists and Pro-European Governments
Hardly anything could be said in defense of the new government's ideological profile, which is quite blurry; at the same time much can be disputed about its future "pro-European" stance.
