80 years since September 9, 1944… Should we celebrate, should we denounce, are we liberated, are we occupied… Many different points of view. The date still divides society to this day. Alexander Tatsov spoke to FAKTI on the subject.
- Mr. Tatsov, it has been 80 years since September 9, 1944. What should we know and remember about this date?
- During its 1859-year history (b.a. – I am talking about so many years, because I am based on already known historical documents that Bulgaria as a state has existed since 165 AD) Bulgaria has received several fateful strikes noted in written history:
-- Campaigns of Constantine V against Bulgaria (756 – 775);
-- The Epic of Samuel (976 – 1018);
-- The 1913 Disaster (The 1913 debacle sets off a chain of unfortunate events)
-- 1915 (World War I)
-- 1918 (crash and riots, Civil War begins)
-- 1923 (coup and leftist/communist riots)
-- 1925 (assassination and “White Terror“)
-- 1941 (communist partisans – “Shumkars“)
-- 1943 (death of Tsar Boris and beginning of the crisis)
-- 1944 (the coup in favor of the communists and the USSR)
-- 1958 (end of the anti-communist partisan movement of the “mountaineers“)
-- 1959 (Todor Zhivkov creates the Caste of Active Fighter against Fascism and Capitalism (ABpFK), from among which the entire ruling class of the party-state is recruited on so-called “nomenclature lists&rdquo)
-- 1989 (coup against Todor Zhivkov and end of the communist regime)
-- 1990 (the reconstruction of the country's political and economic base began, led by the former communist rulers – ABpFK)
So let's go back to the September 9th coup of 1944. This is the last blow that the Bulgarian nation receives and from which it may not recover yet… 42 years followed, in which Bulgaria was completely isolated from Europe and the world, moving backward and away from world development. All state industry and nationalized agriculture were built on the sandy foundations of internal trade in the Union for Mutual Economic Assistance (MUEA) on non-economic principles.
SIV disappeared, the industry and the “co-operative“ agriculture.
The most terrible was the moral blow to the Bulgarian folk psychology. A huge retrograde social stratum appeared, the so-called “political quagmire” – somewhere around 30-40% of voters. This is a mass of distrusted people, created even under socialism and reproducing in a seemingly strange way for 4-5 generations. These are people, in their majority, already separated from their private ownership of the means of production and turned into proletarians dependent on the party-state. They do not believe in their own capabilities and are waiting for the STATE to "fix" them. They are looking for the MESSIAH to lead them to the Promised Land, where rivers of milk and honey are known to flow. Once they find Him, they follow Him like sheep, but soon become disillusioned, they quickly crucify Him and look for the NEW Messiah. This layer rocks the ship of state and is at the root of the crisis.
- Let's talk about the coup… Seizure of central and local power in the Kingdom of Bulgaria organized by the opposition political coalition Otechestven Front (OF) to change Bulgaria…
- On September 2, a new government was formed from a coalition of the main opposition parties, headed by Konstantin Muraviev. OF was offered 4 seats in this cabinet, but they refused participation, actively preparing for a military coup. On September 5, Muraviev's government discussed a decision to declare war on Germany. However, its promulgation was postponed for 72 hours at the express insistence of the Minister of Defense, General Ivan Marinov, allegedly to avoid a German strike against the Bulgarian troops in Macedonia. Naturally, no one suspects that the general is a Soviet agent on a mission…
The final scheduling of the coup took place at the home of Kimon Georgiev on September 7, during a meeting of a narrow committee of the National Committee of the Fatherland Front. At 10 o'clock on the same day, a meeting of activists of the Military Union (Krum Lekarski, Kiril Stanchev, Vladimir Stoychev, Todor Toshev, Hristo Stoykov, Stoyan Trendafilov and others) was held, led by Damian Velchev, at which the actions to carry out the coup were coordinated . It is believed that some of those present are agents of the USSR and other powers. The next morning, Dobri Terpeshev reported the decision to the Politburo of the Workers' Party (RPk).
The composition of the Government of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth from September 9, 1944 to August 16, 1945 included a Council of Ministers of 16 ministers: PC “Unit“ – 4, BZNS – 4, BRSDP – 2, non-party (Dimo Kazasov, Petko Stoyanov), BRP(k) – 4. Prime Minister – Kimon Georgiev. Notice that out of 16 ministers (plus the deputy minister) there are only 4 communists!
- And dark laws follow...
- From September 9, 1944 to August 16, 1945, the OF government, headed by Kimon Georgiev and supported by the “democratic parties”, passed a number of laws in the interest of the communists and the occupying Red Army. On September 30, 1944, the Council of Ministers unanimously adopted the bill for the “Ordinance-law for trial by People's Court …..“, prepared by the Ministry of Justice with Minister Mincho Neychev (communist), including non-communists, allies of the BRP ( k) – farmers of Nikola Petkov and social democrats participating in OF. On September 8, 1946, the second government of Kimon Georgiev and the opposition (including BZNS) supported the referendum on the republic.
This ends the collaboration between the former allies. But the Farmers of Nikola Petkov and the BRSDP remain fully politically responsible for the adopted anti-constitutional and anti-democratic acts in the period September 9, 1944 - August 16, 1945 and are de facto accomplices in the committed genocide against part of the Bulgarian people. On September 12, 1944, District No. 5 of the Central Committee of the BRP(k) was issued: „… with the assistance of the PF committees, to carry out a decisive and quick cleansing of the entire state apparatus from all malicious enemies of the people. To energetically and firmly liquidate the nests of fascist resistance that still survived. Traicho Kostov, political secretary of the Central Committee, commented: „The purge was carried out by our executive troikas”.
On September 13, 1944, the Central Committee of the BRP(k) sent its famous report to Georgi Dimitrov in Moscow, where among other things it was said: „In the first days of the revolution, accounts were spontaneously settled with the most vicious enemies that came across in our hands. Measures are now being taken to deal with the relevant criminal organizations.
With District No. 6 of the Central Committee of the BRP(k), published on September 22, 1944, the local committees of the OF were assigned the task of compiling lists of the doomed. Note, we are talking about the OF committees, where the “democratic parties” are also represented. There are no reports of their disagreement…
Newspaper “Worker case“ erupted a volcano of bloodthirsty and inhuman malice in his famous editorial of September 25, 1944. It was entitled “Revenge”.
In it, in direct text, it orders the communists and the members of the OF (!): „Shoot accurately, stick the knife deeper. Keep your guns tight! Walk boldly against the enemy. Destroy him mercilessly! He deserves no mercy – even the one to a beaten dog.“
Hatred erupts. Such as has not been remembered for 500 years, completely illogical, senseless, unjustified and truly inhuman. This is totalitarian genocide. Indiscriminate slaughter of all political opponents from all walks of life, personal revenge and criminal robbery begins.
The victims were shot, suffocated, drowned, butchered, burned alive in furnaces, thrown from the rocks (such as the Black Rock near Chamkoria), buried in mass graves (such as Golo Berdo near Radomir). Often the victims were forced to dig their own graves, and sometimes, due to the infirmity of the unfortunates, they were thrown half-buried and for months their arm and leg stuck out above the ground.
The skulls of the communist victims in the period 1944-1946 are largely unknown, undocumented and not consecrated in a Christian way. There are believed to be more than 500. For this reason, the number of victims is not specified and is believed to be within wide limits: from 15,000 – 20,000 to 25,000 – 30,000. For understandable reasons, no one at the state level has tackled this problem, and so it has been neglected for 35 years. The country is still effectively run by the GRANDCHILDREN of the executioners, who have no interest in the crimes of their relatives coming to light.
- And thousands of people were killed in the unprecedented bloody terror...
- First of all, according to the instructions, these are representatives of the intelligentsia and those who ruled until 1944: teachers, mayors, policemen, senior officers, merchants, lawyers, judges, richer Bulgarians, members of patriotic organizations (legionnaires, militiamen and etc.), priests and others.
The immediate perpetrators of the crimes were lumpens from the communist partisan gangs, communists from the fighting groups of the BRP(k) and the Workers' Youth Union (RMS), as well as members of the BRP(k) from among the small party intelligentsia, such as Valery Petrov, Angel Wagenstein, Stefan Prodev and others. From proxies of the Russian NKVD, from criminal elements released from prisons and people from the dregs of society, thirsty for revenge and primitive revanchism (they are thousands according to the son of Rusi Hristozov – director of the People's Militia and one of the organizers of the murders).< br />
In the next 3-4 months after September 9, 1944, the biggest crimes were committed. Schools, prisons and barracks were crowded with arrestees, who were charged with absurd and often senseless charges. After that, a coded order usually came from the Center (Sofia, Slavyanska Beseda Street, Headquarters of the National Militia): “Bring the arrested to Sofia!“ This was the password for all those arrested to be killed.
To be continued…
