Inside Bulgaria's Easter Celebrations: Traditions Passed Through Generations
Today marks the joyous celebration of Easter, one of the most significant holidays in the Orthodox Christian calendar.
A killed US soldier costs his homeland roughly EUR 6.5 M, while a fallen Bulgarian costs his country less than half that amount.
This is the conclusion reached by German publicist J?rn Klare in his book "Was bin ich wert? Eine Preisermittlung" (What am I worth? A report on prices).
The book is an attempt to calculate the value of human life depending on economic, cultural and geographic factors. The author made his staggering conclusions after meeting pollsters, doctors, statesmen, military officials and economists, who helped him come up with the price of human life in each sector.
Along with the traditional method of calculating the value of human life, which asks questions about one's annual salary and health, the German publicist also applied the so-called value of a statistical life, most commonly determined by looking at a person's willingness to pay for life or willingness to accept.
Local media commented that the German author may have even overestimated the reality in Bulgaria, saying the value of a Bulgarian life runs into the millions.
For a country where the average monthly salary is about EUR 250 and the economic crisis is at its peak, Bulgarians together with the Chinese, Malaysians and Vietnamese belong to the legalised slaves of this world, commentators harshly pointed out.
