  • Will Bulgaria Become Monarchy Again?
    Southeast European Politics Vol. IV, No. 2-3 November 2003 pp. 157-174 Will Bulgaria Become Monarchy Again? ROSSEN VASSILEV The Ohio State University ABSTRACT This article deals with the much debated question of whether post-Communist Bulgaria should restore the monarchy abolished by the 1946 referendum. The prospects for bringing back the monarchy are believed to be negligible, given the existing constitutional hurdles and the population’s pro-republican sentiments. But ex-King Simeon’s triumph in the June 2001 parliamentary election has dramatically changed his standing at home. Any restoration of the monarchy will depend on the perceived success of his coalition government, especially in rebuilding the ailing national economy. It is questionable whether Simeon II will be able to live up to the overoptimistic expectations of Bulgarians who believe that like a Messiah he will save their country from the economic, social, political and institutional turmoil into which it has descended. But with a population distrustful of the politically bankrupt old parties and politicians and despondent enough to grasp at straws, a revival of the monarchy cannot be ruled out. Introduction Juan Linz and Alfred Stepan consider the issue of constitutions and constitutional formulas to be a significant, if neglected, aspect of democratic transitions (Linz and Stepan 1996: 81-83). They offer a classification of six different possible constitution-making environments, ranging from those that present the most confining conditions for democratization to those

    DOI: https://doi.org/10.48261/PIS203603 EVGENIA KALINOVA, ISKRA BAEVA Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski” ORCID: 0000-0002-3439-420X ISKRA BAEVA Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski” ORCID: 0000-0002-4750-3081 The Role of an External Factor for the Establishment of the Communist Regime in Bulgaria – September 1944–1948 This study is an attempt at highlighting the role of an external factor, that is, the combined role of the policies of the Soviet Union, the United States, and Great Britain, regarding the establishment of a Communist regime in Bulgaria. First, we discuss the attitude of the three “Great Powers” to the Communist party coming to power on 9 September 1944. Second, we then outline their role in the process of asserting the Communists in the coalition government of Bulgaria from 9 September 1944 to the end of 1948, when the Bulgarian Communist Party (BCP) took full control of every sphere of Bulgarian political, economic, cultural and social life, closely following the Soviet (Stalinist) model of state socialism. Let us begin by clarifying the role of this external factor for the rise of the BCP to power on 9 September 1944. Bulgaria emerged from World War II as a defeated state. As an ally of Germany, in December 1941 it declared war on the United States and Britain.1 On 5 September 1944 the Soviet Union declared war on Bulgaria,2 which was still at that point unwilling to break off diplomatic relations with the Reich. The three states prepared the text of the Armistice Agreement with Bulgaria, signed on 28 October 1944, and oversaw its implementation until the autumn of 1947, when the Peace Treaty with Bulgaria entered into force.
