Ruadh, your assertions about the impact of communism are incorrect. By the time I was in school, communism in Bulgaria was done with. Surely there are remnants of those teachings present in the Bulgarian education system even today, however, my schooling in Bulgaria barely goes up to grade 5.
I have no problem with your site. Simply put; I see it as a waste of effort in a time when our identity is endangered by weak and corrupt politics, poverty and immigration, a low birth rate, a poor understanding of our own history, and a wide variety of "allies" whose only aim is to turn us into submissive dependants who will wash their dishes and build their houses. But then again, what sort of effort can be expected from one who identifies as Bulgarian only when it's convenient!?
It pains me that there are people like you, it really does. At the same time I can't blame you. Had I been of weaker character I'd probably be exactly like you. But alas, I feel some innate obligation toward Bulgaria and all those who have died fighting for it. It is this that gives me strength, and with every year that passes I feel some inexplicable inflow of energy that seems to stem from this. It's an unusual feeling, and it has helped me succeed where others have failed. Strangely enough, people like me (a lot) and Bulgarians generally feel more Bulgarian around me. So don't worry, feel free to completely drop your Bulgarian identity.. I'll cover for you.
He is Bulgarian, and as such, he is my brother.

So Ivo, are you Elemag's big brother or his psycologist?
