Пещера Деветашка считается одной из самых крупных в Болгарии и всей Европе. Она расположена на реке Осым, между селами Деветаки и Дойренци (Ловечская область). Пещера обнаружена лишь в 1921 году, а с 1996 года является охраняемым памятником природы. Ее протяженность составляет около 1,5 км, а входом служит гигантский проем 55 м в ширину и 35 м в высоту.

Пещера Деветашка поражает воображение туристов. Ее потолки высотой от 60 до 100 метров имеют многочисленные провалы, которые местные жители называют окнами. Они создают естественное освещение, но практически не нагревают пещеру. Поэтому здесь прохладно даже в знойные летние дни. Внутри протекает река, есть подземные озера, водопады, сталагмиты и сталактиты. В залах обитают летучие мыши, поэтому они закрыты с 1 ноября по 1 апреля, чтобы не мешать размножению животных.

В пещере обнаружены следы обитания древнего человека. Согласно археологическим исследованиям пещера служила убежищем людям с поздней палеолитической эпохи. Археологические раскопки обнаружили остатки из культурного слоя почти всех доисторических периодов. Рельефный слой толщиной от 0,3 до 5,5 м содержит остатки поселений разных эпох: палеолита(кремневые орудия мустьерских форм, позднепалеолитические изделия из кремня и костей); неолита (очаги с каменной основой, узкие каменные топоры, кремневые заточки и скребки, костяные лощила, шила и долота, керамику с резьбленными надписями); энеолита ( разрушенные жилища, печи, зернотерки,орудия из камня и костей, посуда с резной, рельефной и другой орнаментацией, антропоморфные фигуры); бронзового века (боевые топоры из бронзы, темнолощённые керамические изделия); железного века (бронзовые ножи, железное оружие).

Вторая мировая война оставила и здесь свой след. Во времена социализма пещера использовалась в качестве склада боеприпасов на случай военных действий, а также служила хранилищем нефтепродуктов. В пещере до сих пор остались следы в виде кругов с тех времен.

Немаловажной частью этого чудного места является разнообразие представителей фауны. В пещере обитают более сотни различных видов живности, некоторые из которых даже занесены в Красную книгу! В их числе 12 видов охраняемых земноводных (эскулап, полоз, тритон, древесные лягушки, черепахи Германа), около 80-ти видов птиц, 34 вида млекопитающих и 15 видов летучих мышей.

Devetashka Cave is considered one of the largest in Bulgaria and throughout Europe. It is located on the Osam River, between the villages of Devetaki and Doirentsi (Lovech region). The cave was discovered only in 1921, and since 1996 it has been a protected natural monument. Its length is about 1.5 km, and the entrance is a gigantic opening 55 m wide and 35 m high.

Devetashka Cave amazes tourists. Its ceilings range from 60 to 100 meters high and have numerous gaps, which locals call windows. They create natural light, but practically do not heat the cave. Therefore, it is cool here even on hot summer days. A river flows inside, there are underground lakes, waterfalls, stalagmites and stalactites. The halls are inhabited by bats, so they are closed from November 1 to April 1, so as not to interfere with the breeding of animals.

Traces of ancient human habitation were found in the cave. According to archaeological research, the cave has served as a shelter for people since the late Paleolithic era. Archaeological excavations have discovered remains from the cultural layer of almost all prehistoric periods. The relief layer, 0.3 to 5.5 m thick, contains the remains of settlements from different eras: Paleolithic (flint tools of Mousterian forms, Late Paleolithic objects made of flint and bones); Neolithic (hearths with a stone base, narrow stone axes, flint sharpenings and scrapers, bone polishes, awls and chisels, ceramics with carved inscriptions); Eneolithic (destroyed dwellings, ovens, grain grinders, tools made of stone and bones, dishes with carved, relief and other ornamentation, anthropomorphic figures); Bronze Age (battle axes made of bronze, dark-polished ceramics); Iron Age (bronze knives, iron weapons).

The Second World War left its mark here too. During socialism, the cave was used as an ammunition depot in case of hostilities, and also served as a storage facility for petroleum products. There are still traces in the cave in the form of circles from those times.

An important part of this wonderful place is the diversity of fauna. The cave is home to more than a hundred different species of living creatures, some of which are even listed in the Red Book! These include 12 species of protected amphibians (aesculapius, snake, newt, tree frogs, Hermann's tortoises), about 80 species of birds, 34 species of mammals and 15 species of bats.

svetlana popva petrova — lizbeth adore colleman

in the land of gods and monsters, i was an angel living in the garden of evil... screwed up, scared, doing anything that I needed, shining like a fiery beacon

Ao nascer, na pequena província de lovech no norte da bulgária, lana parecia uma garota comum. filha de um barão do café e de uma camponesa, vivia cercada de longas arvores sinuosas e sentia que a floresta estava sempre por perto, a riqueza por sua vez… nem tanto. procurava ajudar em casa como podia, buscando alimento e usando o pouco que tinha como moeda de troca para conseguir mais. a morena continuaria sua pacata vida na pequena província até envelhecer, se não fosse por um fato: certo dia, ao voltar da cidade com mais mercadorias, svetlana encontrou o seu lar invadido, os corpos destroçados pelo casebre deixavam claro que um ataque brutal havia acontecido, enquanto a moça que ali chegava tivera sua vida poupada por um milagre, mas seus algozes tinham um plano pior para ela.

levada por um grupo de homens, lana foi aprisionada e forçada a trabalhar na principal danceteria da europa, o ataque e o aprisionamento tiveram consequências notáveis na vida da mulher, passando a ser mais distante, desconfiada, por vezes até fria, sem entender quem ou o que havia os levado aquela tarde. lana foi forçada a dançar para atrair os forasteiros, sem saber que os mesmos estavam sendo atraídos para a morte, como forma de alimentar as criaturas que a raptavam. poucos meses depois de sua chegada na casa noturna, fora oferecida para o conde da região, sem que sequer soubesse do trato. quando o ataque começou, svetlana se enfureceu e revidou com golpes o quanto pôde. pobre criatura. jamais entenderia que a força imortal era incomparável. fora morta no primeiro piscar, por ousar revidar as artimanhas do conde, mas a transformaram a tempo para que pudesse sobreviver.

recém transformada, svetlana fez um verdadeiro banquete no local, embebida em vingança. os que não foram decepados se renderam à ela, a cultuavam como deusa. e isso durou por algum tempo, até vampiros antigos tomarem conhecimento do que estava acontecendo, então ela teve que fugir. por anos. ainda que volta e meia se rendesse aos mesmos padrões, seu corpo a levava a repetir os maus hábitos: a dança e a morte. viveu a elegância dos anos cinquenta nos porões mais poéticos da europa. a liberdade e alucinação dos anos sessenta e setenta em hollywood. permitiu-se amar músicos, poetas e artistas, sem poder estender sua estadia por tempo demais sem ser caçada como uma fera. até mais recentemente se refugiar em Arcanum.

Vasil Levski - The Apostle of Freedom

Vasil Levski (Bulgarian: Васил Левски, spelled in old Bulgarian orthography as Василъ Лѣвскій, pronounced [vɐˈsiɫ ˈlɛfski]), born Vasil Ivanov Kunchev (Васил Иванов Кунчев; 18 July 1840 – 18 February 1873), was a Bulgarian revolutionary who is, today, a national hero of Bulgaria. Dubbed the Apostle of Freedom, Levski ideologised and strategised a revolutionary movement to liberate Bulgaria from Ottoman rule. Levski founded the Internal Revolutionary Organisation, and sought to foment a nationwide uprising through a network of secret regional committees. In Romania, Levski helped institute the Bulgarian Revolutionary Central Committee, composed of Bulgarian expatriates. During his tours of Bulgaria, Levski established a wide network of insurrectionary committees. Ottoman authorities, however, captured him at an inn near Lovech and executed him by hanging in Sofia. He was a true Christian, a man of loyalty, and an example to all Nationalists.

with: @arcdocburlew

se espreguiçou para fora do sofá, meio caída, mas confortavelmente acolhida pelo couro envelhecido. o cheiro mofado e velho da realeza, como um perfume francês, adentrou suas narinas e ela se remexeu novamente, dessa vez dolorida, ou ao menos era o que sua voz demonstrava pelo tom. o copo de whisky tombava em seus dedos quase como o seu pescoço. por sorte, ela não era o tipo de bêbada que envergonhava, seus shows eram dados quando sóbria, ou levemente alterada. quando bebia além da conta quase voltava a ser a humana de lovech, quase. ainda que mais vulnerável, e recolhida como um caracol, lana ainda tinha o toque acido que lhe viera a ser comum na vida vampiresca. "gregor, querido... eu já devo ter lhe dito o quanto está atraente hoje." acariciou o rosto do mais velho com a ponta dos dedos, a visão se enturvando. "por que não vira de costas e me deixa ver você pegando mais uma dose pra mim?"

The Struggle Against "Hooligans" in Bulgaria

New Decisions by the Politburo

On January 21, 1958, the Politburo of the Central Committee of the Bulgarian Communist Party made a significant decision to intensify the fight against so-called “hooligans” and “profligate looters.” This decision involved interning these individuals in labour camps. The term “hooligans” referred not only to those committing minor offenses but also included young boys and girls who expressed their individuality through Western fashion, hairstyles, and music. This crackdown targeted anyone who listened to or performed Western music and those who tuned into Western radio stations.

The Reality of Labour Camps

Peter Gogov, the chief of the Lovech labour camp, later revealed during an interrogation after the fall of the communist regime in 1989 that between 1945 and 1962, approximately 44 labour camps operated in Bulgaria. However, other sources, including books and personal memoirs, suggest that the actual number of labour camps was much higher—around 83. These camps varied in location and operated for different lengths of time during the period from 1944 to 1962 Bulgaria Private Tours Kazanlak.

Life in the Camps

The labour camps in Bulgaria were notorious for their harsh conditions. Inmates faced forced labor, poor living standards, and a lack of basic necessities. Many were subjected to severe punishment for minor offenses or for simply expressing views that contradicted the communist ideology. The camps served as a means of control and repression, silencing dissent and instilling fear in the population.

The government’s definition of “hooliganism” was broad and often arbitrary, allowing for the imprisonment of anyone who did not conform to the strict societal norms imposed by the regime. Young people, in particular, found themselves targeted for expressing themselves through music, fashion, or any form of Western influence. This reflected the government’s anxiety about Western culture and its potential to undermine communist ideals.

Impact on Society

The decision to intern “hooligans” in labour camps had a profound impact on Bulgarian society. Families were torn apart as young people were sent to these camps for expressing themselves. The stigma attached to being labeled a “hooligan” often lasted a lifetime, affecting job opportunities and social standing even after release.

The experience of living in a labour camp left lasting scars on many individuals. Survivors often faced psychological trauma and struggled to reintegrate into society. The repression of youth culture during this period also stifled creativity and expression, creating a climate of fear and conformity.

The crackdown on “hooligans” in Bulgaria during the late 1950s illustrates the lengths to which the communist regime went to maintain control over its citizens. By interning individuals for their personal choices, the government sought to suppress any potential dissent. Understanding this dark chapter in Bulgarian history is essential for recognizing the importance of freedom of expression and the consequences of authoritarianism.

Labour Camps in Bulgaria A Historical Overview

Introduction to Labour Camps

After the establishment of the communist regime in Bulgaria, a series of labour camps were created to detain political opponents and those deemed undesirable by the government. These camps were often harsh, and the conditions were brutal. Below is a list of notable labour camps that operated in Bulgaria during this period.

Early Camps

Zeleni Dol

The first labour camp in Bulgaria after September 9, 1944, was Zeleni Dol, located in the Blagoevgrad region. This camp was established at the request of the Soviet occupying forces. It operated from September 1944 until December 1945, housing 203 people, including German citizens and women married to Bulgarians Bulgaria Private Tours Kazanlak.

Sveti Vratch Station

Another camp, known as Sveti Vratch Station, was set up near the city of Sandanski in January 1945. The details about the conditions in this camp are less documented but were similar to those in other camps.

Camps for Political Prisoners

Kutziyan Mine

The Kutziyan Mine, located near Pernik, operated from October 1945 until the end of 1949. This camp mainly confined counter-revolutionary Russians. In 1948, a large group of supporters of Nikola Petkov, leader of the agrarian party, were also interned here.

“Black Sea” Mine

The “Black Sea” Mine near Bourgas was in operation from January to April 1945. Details about this camp are scarce, but like others, it contributed to the overall oppressive atmosphere of the time.

Bogdanov Dol

Bogdanov Dol, located in the Pernik region, operated from spring 1945 until 1951. This camp also played a role in detaining those considered enemies of the state.

Notable Camps for Women

Boyana Camp

A women’s camp was established in the village of Boyana in the Tutrakan region at the beginning of 1947. This camp, along with others set up during the same year, reflected the regime’s effort to control and punish women who opposed the government.

Veliko Turnovo

Another women’s camp was established on the outskirts of Veliko Turnovo in 1947. These camps were notorious for their poor conditions and harsh treatment.

The Belene Camp

One of the most infamous camps was Belene, established by a Council of Ministers’ Decree on April 27, 1949. This camp was specifically for political opponents of the Communist Party and spread across various Danube river islands. In its first year, it housed 800 inmates, and by 1953, this number had increased to 1,917, with sentences ranging from six months to seven years. Belene was temporarily closed from September 5 to November 5, 1956, but its legacy of suffering remained.

The Lovech Camp

The Lovech camp, notorious for its harsh regime, was established in 1959. It is often referred to as “The Camp of Death.” The first 166 inmates from Belene were transferred to Lovech, where they were forced to work in a nearby stone quarry. Conditions were inhumane, and many prisoners, including intellectuals and artists, suffered extreme abuse. Many died from torture, exhaustion, or were brutally killed.

The history of labour camps in Bulgaria serves as a stark reminder of the oppression faced by many during the communist regime. These camps were not just places of detention; they were sites of suffering and cruelty, reflecting the government’s harsh measures against dissent. Understanding this dark period is crucial for recognizing the importance of human rights and freedom in society today.
