"Great buildings from this will arise, The famed grandeur of Bulzludzha, Will immortalise, The greatest system here by far..."

This Monument to Bulgarian socialism was completed in 1981, hosting party ceremonies, meetings and even concerts. Although how they actually got everything and everyone up there is beyond my understanding.

It is build on the spot of an important victory against the Ottoman rulers in 1868, and commemorates (if I am not mistaken) the first secret Bulgarian socialist meeting in 1891.

Buzludzah, despite the freezing cold, the ice, everywhere, is still pretty much standing. Bits and pieces are falling off, but the "Party" sure made solid constructions.
