"[My daughter is] neither bourgeois nor a twit, and has long been out of diapers, while your writings have not risen past the level of their contents" is such an extremely Russian insult; I'm crying with how true-to-life Ivanova's dad came for this guy's fuckin kneecaps

Bulgaria’s Constitutional Court on Thursday ruled that the election of 17 MPs in the current parliament was illegitimate because of various irregularities detected in the voting process in the October 27 general election.

The MPs come from all parties in the assembly. They include Temenujka Petkova, Rumen Nenkov, Pavlin Yotov and Nikola Djambazov from the election winning party GERB; plus Esheref Esheref, from ARF (Alliance for Rights and Freedoms) and Metin Kachan and Stanislav Anastasov from MRF – New Beginning.

The ARF and MRF both emerged from the dissolution of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms, which attracted the vote of Bulgaria’s ethnic Turkish community and had a history of electoral fraud allegations. 

The other MPs named are Svetoslav Todorov and Viktor Papazov from the pro-Kremlin party Revival; Andrey Vulchev, from the pro-Russian Bulgarian Socialist Party; Ivaylo Mitkovski, from We Continue the Change/Democratic Bulgaria; Deyan Petkov, Borislav Petkov and Rosen Ivanov, from the nationalist Unity, Moral, Honour; and Emil Trifonov, Ivan Kyuchukov and Aleksander Markov, from GERB’s ruling coalition partners, There’s Such a People.

All of them were elected by votes cast at polling stations where problematic practices were noticed, such as unregulated changes in staff, invalid ballots counted as valid and vice versa, or with information edited by the staff, differences in data between votes gathered and votes recorded, plus other kinds of administrative mistakes.

The verdict follows a four-month investigation into suspected fraud in the October elections. This culminated in a public dispute between the judges of the Constitutional Court and the Sofia Prosecution.

On Tuesday, the Constitutional Court chair claimed the Sofia Prosecution had acquired evidence, data and devices from the Central Election Committee that was not available to the court. 

The dispute prompted protests about an alleged cover-up of electoral fraud in several towns on Wednesday night. In Sofia, thousands joined a rally demanding reforms on all levels.

The case started in November after the opposition parties We Continue the Change and Democratic Bulgaria, along with a citizens’ organisation, Bulgaria United by One Goal, filed a complaint about voter manipulation allegedly connected to the MP and oligarch Delyan Peevski, who entered parliament as leader of MRF – New Beginning. 

Meanwhile, another party, Greatness, demanded a re-count after it narrowly missed the 4-per-cent threshold needed to enter parliament, by just 21 votes. A recount might send it back to parliament.

With the verdict on Thursday, the court has assigned the Electoral Commission to issue complete and final data on the voter turnout – and whether Greatness candidates should now retroactively be made members of parliament. According to the court’s calculations, the 4-per-cent threshold at the last elections was 97,390 votes, while Greatness won 97,497 votes.

This development would threaten the fragile ruling coalition, comprising election winners GERB, whose member, Rosen Zhealyazkov, is Prime Minister, the Bulgarian Socialist Party and the nationalist There’s Such a People – with the important support in parliament of Ahmed Dogan’s ARF. Greatness is likely to join the opposition in parliament.

Nationalist fringe party makes a comeback 

Nationalist, Eurosceptic party Greatness proved a surprise phenomenon in the June 2024 elections after crossing the threshold on its debut, with a campaign conducted through the party’s social media channels, associated foundations, in-person meetings and free newspapers. 

The party was founded by the circle of entrepreneurs connected to a tourist site near Varna called Historical Park, which was investigated for years as a suspected Ponzi scheme by Capital newspaper. 

Greatness seemingly lost momentum: last summer, its parliamentary group disintegrated after a fallout between its two co-leaders. This also came as the prosecution probed the business enterprises of its founder, Ivelin Mihaylov, who has also been accused of developing a paramilitary unit.

For all its ideological similarities, Greatness is not allied to the main pro-Russian far-right party Revival.

Its potential return to parliament sparked criticism on Thursday from GERB’s leader Boyko Borissov, who alleged on Thursday that if Greatness enters the legislature, it might affect Bulgaria’s planned entrance to the eurozone.

Sofia Perovskaia (1853-1881).

Member of Narodnaïa Volia. Regicide of Tsar Alexander II (1881).

Warning:

My day (not very good day) will end with the publication of a short post dedicated to one of the historical heroines for whom I have a lot of sympathy: Sofia Perovskaia. I had mentioned her only once in this post : https://www.tumblr.com/sensitiveuser/766870279166279680/letter-from-emma-goldman-1923-about-louise?source=share.

I am currently preparing others for you, which I will publish tomorrow and this weekend. Little secret : I didn't think I'd be here tonight (not just on Tumblr)...

I haven't finished introducing the characters mentioned in Emma Goldman's letter. I will also introduce Maria Spiridonova, I promise you...

Sofia Perovskaia (1853-1881) came from an aristocratic family. Her father was the governor of Saint Petersburg. Young woman abhorring the aristocratic society in which she grew up, she decided to betray her family and her social class, and join the camp of the revolutionaries. Fleeing her family, she settled in a modest apartment.

When it was founded (1879), the Narodnaia Volia organization defined the assassination of Tsar Alexander II as its primary objective. Armed struggle and terrorist actions (propaganda by deed) are the foundation of the organization. However, Narodnaia Volia does not intend to take power after the fall of the Russian Empire. Its only aim is to destroy tsarism, form a provisional government and elect a constituent assembly.

The members of the Executive Committee (including Andrei Jeliabov, Sofia's companion), in order to succeed in killing the tsar, decide to resort to the bomb. In September 1879, the Executive Committee proclaims itself "a secret society completely autonomous in its actions". The revolutionaries of Narodnaia Volia attempt five times to assassinate Alexander II, between November 1879 and August 1880. The first attack was prepared by Vera Figner, Alexander Kvyatkovsky and Nikolai Kibalchitch (one of the accused in the trial of the 193). The second attack was planned by Andrei Jeliabov, on the railway line linking Crimea to Kharkov.

Following the failed attempts, the comrades of Narodnaya Volya prepare a new attack… hoping, this time, not to miss their shot !

Sofia Perovskaïa, Andrei Jeliabov, Nicolas Kibaltchich, Nicolas Kletochnikov, Alexander Mikhailov, form a real club of five, five brave militants determined to meticulously plan a new attack. It is a question of succeeding in the attack by all means ! The five comrades begin by observing the movements of the tsar. The observation reveals two obligatory passage points, whatever the route taken by the tsar.

The executive committee decides to attack these two locations simultaneously, and meticulously prepares the attack. The five comrades dig an underground tunnel from a small house to Nevsky Prospect. They buried a mine there that would explode when the Tsar passed by. If this failed, Andrei Jeliabov would intervene, aided by a dagger and a revolver !

Unfortunately, on February 27, 1881, Andrei Jeliabov was arrested and sent to Nevsky Prospect. Sofia was now placed in charge of organizing the attack. She continued the plan for the attack. She was joined by Nikolai Ivanov Rysakov (who would throw the first bomb), Ignati Joakimovich Grineviski (who would throw the second), Timofei Mikhailovich Mikhailov (third bomb), Ivan Panteleimonovich Emelianov (fourth bomb). The bombs were prepared in Vera Figner's apartment.

On March 1, 1881, Alexander II took his usual route, between the Makhaylovski riding school and the Catherine Canal. Sofia Perovskaya gave the signal for the attack (using a handkerchief). The first bomb did not hit the Tsar, but there were a few injuries, and Rysakov was arrested. The second explosion, this time, resulted in a success: Alexander II died. But the explosion also cost Grineviski's life.

A few weeks after the assassination attempt, Sofia was arrested. On April 3, 1881, she was hanged together with Andrei Jeliabov on Semyonovsky Square.

Skopts (скопцы)

The Skoptsy, or "the castrated," were a religious sect during the Russian Empire. The Skoptsy are known for performing castrations on men and removing women's breasts for religious reasons. The reason for such radical operations is the avoidance of sexuality in accordance with religious teachings. The movement's active activities were at their peak in the 18th century, but waned and ended in the 20th century. An important feature of the sect was castration.

According to belief, the fall into sin caused the man to have testicles and the woman to have breasts. From the fruit of the forbidden tree. The sect's belief is that man was originally born without genitals. Lust and the fall into sin were said to originate from Satan, as was sexuality.

Castrations were performed with primitive objects, such as a razor. Russian authorities intervened in the sect's activities when Andrei Ivanov was convicted in 1771 of the crime of castrating 13 men. The movement was at its most extensive in Siberia and during the era of Peter III. At that time, the sect believed that Peter III was the incarnation of the Son of God. Since then, the sect's activities have quieted down and ended in Soviet Russia.

Skoptsit eli ”kuohitut”  olivat venäjän keisarikunnan aikainen uskonnollinen lahko. Skoptsit tunnetaan miesten kuohimisesta ja naiseten rintojen poistamisesta uskonnolisiin syihin vedoten. Syynä näin radikaalisiin operaatioihin on uskonnon oppien mukainen seksuaalisuuden välttäminen. Liikkeen aktiivinen toiminta oli loistossaan 1700- luvulla mutta hiipui ja loppui 1900-luvulla. Tärkeä piirre lahkolle oli kastraatio. Uskomuksen mukaan syntiin lakeaminen aiheutti miehelle kivekset ja naiselle rinnat. Kieletyn puun hedelmästä. Lahkon uskomus ihminen syntyi alunperin ilman sukuelimiä. Himoiden ja syntiinlankeamuksen todettiin olevan saatanasta lähtöisin, kuten myös seksuaalisuus. Kastraatiot tehtiin alkeillisilla esineillä esimerkiksi partaveitsellä. Venäjän viraomaiset puuttuivat lahkon toimintaan , kun Andrei Ivanov tuomittiin  1771 rikoksesta 13 miehen kastraatiosta. Liike oli laajinmillaan siperian alueella ja Pietari III aikakaudella. Jolloin lahko uskoi Pietari III olevan Jumalan pojan inkernaatio. Sittemmin lahkon toiminta hiljeni ja loppui neuvostoliiton venäjässä.

PETER IVANOV ! vinte e um anos, estudante de educação física e jogador de lacrosse.

mãe: patricia ivanov.

pai: andrey ivanov.

irmãos: nenhum.

the golden boy - somewhere in the clouds, davey's runnin' for a touchdown. the crowd appears and his mother cheers, she's wavin' from the field.

peter não foi adotado da maneira convencional ; os ivanov sequer estavam buscando ter filhos, mas dois amigos próximos que conheciam desde o tempo de colégio faleceram em um acidente trágico e a guarda do pequeno - que veio ao mundo como sanha - ficou para patricia e andrey. eles receberam a nova responsabilidade com a maior graça que podiam, o tornando oficialmente parte da família na tenra idade de dois anos.

peter cresceu sem muitos problemas, sempre uma criança adorável que recebia amor por onde passava, se tornou um jovem livre , apenas se um tanto egocêntrico . popular e bem visto no colégio, era aquele que todos amavam odiar e ao mesmo tempo tinha carisma demais para ser realmente odiado. começou a jogar lacrosse com o melhor amigo luke quando ainda eram pequenos, mas o colega se deixou levar por caminhos diferentes e infinitamente mais escuros que os seus.

no último ano do colégio, uma bolsa de estudos para stanford era basicamente um negócio fechado - até que o melhor amigo foi encontrado morto com uma agulha no braço. por muito tempo, isso definiu a vida de peter, quem perdeu seu brilho natural para se tornar melancólico e afastado da vida social agitada que uma vez teve, o que levou a namorada da época a lhe dar um pé na bunda, não entendendo seu luto. para eles, que luke acabasse daquela forma, era inevitável. mas para peter, tinha de ter sido impedido. com a mudança na rotina e o declínio das notas , stanford já não era uma realidade e teve de se contentar em ir para uma faculdade pública perto de casa, até pela saúde mental dos pais que se preocupavam o tempo todo com o que ele estava fazendo. a vida tinha estado monótona e sem graça por um tempo, até voltar para casa nas férias do primeiro semestre e encontrar uma carta o esperando.
