The house is a monument on Mount Buzludzha

In the heart of Bulgaria, where they grow roses, is Buzludja Park, named after the 1441 meter-high mountains. Once on the Shipka Pass, you will see something unexpected, completely falling out of the picture. What you see looks like a flying saucer landed on the top and leave the team.




However, this is not a spaceship, and the building and its history is much closer to the ground than it might seem at first glance. The house is a monument at the top was built in honor of the Bulgarian Communist Party in the 1980s. He was part of a costly project, which included, in addition to the monument, construction of paved roads, tourist facilities and many other objects. House-monument was built to link the communist regime with the myth of the creation of an independent Bulgaria 1300 years ago.









Once inside, you will see something even more exciting than the outside view.





The place where the house stands a monument is significant in the later history of Bulgaria. Here in 1891 was born the movement of Bulgarian Socialists. Russian and Bulgarian Army troops are defeated the Ottomans in 1877-1878 years.



















Despite the general hatred of the Communist regime and a hasty democratization remains a mystery why this house is abandoned monument and gave it in ruins.



It may be perceived as a reminder of communist Bulgaria, its transformation from a paradise for the working class in an authoritarian regime. Perhaps, for the maintenance of the building does not have enough money, and Bulgaria, were more important items of expenditure than the huge concrete flying saucer on the mountain.



Everywhere mosaic with images of Soviet and Bulgarian communist leaders: Blagoev, Georgi Dimitrov, Todor Zhivkov, Vladimir Lenin, Josef Stalin and Leonid Brezhnev. They say that somewhere buried under the monument of the capsule with reference to the descendants ...

Inside visitors (risked violate the prohibition) can detect the ceremonial hall, the ceiling of which still have the hammer and sickle and the inscription "Workers of all countries, unite!»



And this monument may be the future. In September 2011, the Cabinet of Ministers of Bulgaria gave his Bulgarian Socialist Party, whose members hope to restore the former glory of the monument.



Political affiliation of those who are going to save and restore the monument, it does not matter. The fact that such an important building was abandoned and fell into decay should become a national shame for the whole of Bulgaria.



Opening of the monument in 1981, was dedicated to the 1300th anniversary of foundation of the Bulgarian state, and less than 20 years, the building was abandoned - the communist regimes in Eastern Europe fell.



Despite the graffiti above the main entrance, calling to forget the past, history is littered with examples of nations that have forgotten the mistakes of the past, may be doomed to the same errors in the future.
