It's Monday and instead of taking their sweet time recovering from two nights of heavy name-day partying many Bulgarians seem to be in a hurry to get somewhere, neglecting their safety and that of others in the process. In the past 24 hours only, at least two people have been killed and two more injured because someone decided to disregard road safety rules.

And while we can still struggle to revive the Kozloduy 3&4 Units or keep the rakia-brewing and Christmas pig-slaughtering rituals alive, there are two more people that will never see the light of day again.

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.
