The Contradictions of Developed Socialism Chapter 1 The Contradictions of Developed Socialism In his address to the Bulgarian people delivered on 20 October 1981, the general secretary of the Bulgarian Communist Party (BKP) and chairman of the State Council of the People’s Republic of Bulgaria (NRB), Todor Zhivkov, reminded his listeners: “We are on the threshold of a major national celebration—the 1300th anniversary of the Bulgarian state, one of the oldest states of Europe, which emerged on the ground . of the ancient civilizations in our lands, covered a long distance in its development, and has now reached the highest peak in contemporary progress—the triumph of the socialist social order.” The speech skillfully outlined an appealing national nar- rative, charting in significant detail the history of the Bulgarian people, “situ- ated in one of the most neuralgic [sic ] regions of the planet . at a crossroads between East and West, North and South.” The rhetoric then moved to ideo- logical ground, emphasizing that “the victory of the socialist revolution . marked the greatest ever radical breakthrough in our 13-century-long history” because it “unfettered the powerful forces of the nation, provided an irresist- ible impetus to our country’s all-round progress, and marked the beginning of the implementation of the goals and tasks of centuries-long struggles and aspi- rations.” Zhivkov finally proposed visions for Bulgaria’s future development under developed socialism ( razvit sotsializâm ), linking the historical jubilee to domestic reforms and international initiatives already underway. 1 22 THE CONTRADICTIONS OF DEVELOPED SOCIALISM 23 While the Bulgarian communist leader’s self-congratulatory view is hardly surprising, international observers confirmed the invigorating power of the 1300-year jubilee, which made evident, both domestically and inter- nationally, the Bulgarian people’s “pride in their cultural and historical heritage . and in current achievements in having raised the standard of living.” 2 British reports from Sofia on the eve of the anniversary described, rather surprisingly, “a stable country with a growing sense of national iden- tity, ruled by a self-confident and competent regime. Its people are better fed and better clothed than they used to be and have more opportunities for self-expression.” 3 Following the 1300-year celebrations, another report con- cluded: “Bulgaria’s reputation as the Soviet Union’s closest and most will- ing client state has become such a cliché that the search for evidence to the contrary is irresistible. The staging of the 1300th anniversary was . a clear demonstration of national pride well removed from the professions of soli- darity towards the Soviet Union to which we have become accustomed.”4 Integrating Bulgarian and foreign perspectives, this chapter provides back- ground information on the internal situation in Bulgaria during the long 1970s and engages long-lasting stereotypes associated with the country throughout the Cold War, while explaining the role of culture and the celebration of the 1300-year jubilee during late socialism. Both in historical scholarship and in contemporaneous Western diplomatic and media sources, Bulgaria is fre- quently presented as a ruthless dictatorship completely subservient to the Soviet Union. The country is usually described as the Soviet Union’s most loyal ally, implying a strong degree of political dependence. Bulgaria also attracts attention because of its lack of a dissident movement during a time of heightened dissent in Eastern Europe, which is explained either through the regime’s brutal repression or the ingrained passivity of the population. These assumptions, even though often based on insufficient information or a simplistic reading of the facts, made the country seem unworthy of atten- tion. Here, I take a closer look at the situation in Bulgaria to complicate both opinions. What if the “eternal Bulgarian-Soviet friendship” served the coun- try well? Or the lack of dissent meant popular acceptance of the regime’s policies? This chapter adds much-needed nuance to the history of late social- ism in Eastern Europe by analyzing the role of official culture in sustaining state socialist regimes. I demonstrate that Bulgarian cultural policies of the 1970s served the purpose of domestic legitimization as they reinvigorated Bulgarian “patriotism,” rejuvenated the social contract between the regime and its citizens, and undercut dissent by recruiting potential critics into the cultural projects sponsored by the state. 24 CHAPTER 1 Western observers typically defaulted to clichés in their descriptions of Bulgaria. In the standard view, because the country was dependent on Soviet economic assistance for raw materials, training, and markets, it “ha[d] sur- rendered much of its sovereignty” to the Soviet Union, both militarily and in foreign policy. 5 British diplomatic reports from the early 1970s spoke about its “docility” and concluded that the situation in Bulgaria served to illustrate “what Moscow would do, if it could, with the other members [of the Soviet bloc].” Because Bulgarian loyalty to the Soviet Union remained “unques- tioned,” one reason to study Bulgaria was to “provide insight into the Soviet system.” 6 Sofia’s reputation as “Moscow’s loyal flag-bearer” persisted into the 1970s. 7 Western dispatches consistently spoke about “obedient Bulgaria” and “the master satellite.” 8 Throughout the 1970s, as they learned more about the country— including from its cultural programs—diplomats began refining their assumptions. Bulgarian leader Zhivkov was sensitive to accusations of Bul- garian loyalty to the Soviet Union and its satellite role because it made “his country that much less interesting to the west.”9 Thus, the regime sought to proactively correct this view. In 1979, Zhivkov joked that “the Soviet Union was really a Bulgarian colony” since Bulgaria received its raw mate- rials from Russia and sold its finished ones there, in “the classic colonial relationship.” 10 That year, the British ambassador in Sofia observed: “If they can find a way to satisfy Moscow by form and themselves by substance, [the Bulgarians] will choose it. If they can get their own way by shouting ‘Eter- nal Friendship’ a bit louder they will do so.” 11 By the late 1970s, the Soviet proxy stereotype had been subjected to fine-tuning: now, diplomats saw the internal situation in Bulgaria as “not bad” while they detected “no specific obstacles to normalization, such as the human rights problems in Czecho- slovakia.” 12 In 1981, the Economist called Bulgaria “Un-Polish.” 13 One might argue that, in the midst of turmoil elsewhere in Eastern Europe, “un-Polish” and “not bad” meant good. At the same time, Western media covering Bulgaria usually described a climate of merciless domestic repression that allegedly eradicated all opposition. In 1975, Radio Free Europe (RFE) concluded: “apparently the intercession-intimidation mechanism is extremely intricate and always effec- tive. The regime’s elaborate bureaucratic apparatus seems to have perfected it to the point where almost nothing can be done to counteract it.” 14 But this rigid view did not withstand scrutiny. British diplomats, while describing “widespread, underlying political apathy” and “lack of enthusiasm in com- munism, particularly amongst young people and intelligentsia,” pointed out that in Bulgaria, “there was no obvious discontent.” 15 The “youth problem” THE CONTRADICTIONS OF DEVELOPED SOCIALISM 25 manifested itself in work-shyness, antipathy to public service, and craving for all things Western. Yet, while young Bulgarians wanted more consumer goods, travel, cultural choices, and a better standard of living, what they did not want was political change. 16 Unable to offer a satisfactory explanation for the fact that discontent had not become dissent, Western diplomats spoke of Zhivkov’s “benevolent dic- tatorship,” a phrase that captures well the contradictions of late socialism. 17 Official policies benefited ordinary people: in 1981, the year of the 1300th anniversary, the economy “performed well . and real incomes increased,” the availability of consumer goods “continued to improve,” the political sys- tem was “stable,” and there was “no audible discontent,” while in foreign affairs the country saw the “ceaseless coming and going of delegations from overseas.” 18 Thus, observers remained skeptical of the potential for radical change: “it is tempting to believe that the apathy and the social malaise . will lead to significant changes in the political order. This would be wishful thinking.” 19 Cultural policies provide a window into the “benevolent dictatorship” of Todor Zhivkov, as they allow us to engage the shifting political and social order of the 1970s and explain the normalization of late socialism. 20 In the 1970s, but especially after Zhivkov’s daughter, Liudmila Zhivkova, took charge of culture in 1975, new ideas of aesthetic education and beauty replaced the worn-out Marxist vocabulary of domestic cultural programs. Concurrently, Bulgarian elites launched a massive campaign of cultural diplomacy to create a new image for the country. The national and inter- national aspects of these cultural policies were closely intertwined: on the global scene as well as at home, Bulgaria was showcasing not only its com- munist credentials, but also its national uniqueness and broader contribu- tions to humanity. The 1300th anniversary celebrations, in particular, had “two beneficial side-effects . first in helping to publicise

    MODELS OF ARCHITECTURE FROM THE MIDDLE AGES TO PRESENT ON THE VALLEY OF STRUMA RIVER Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria Brestovo Monastery “St. Archangel Michael”, Municipality of Simitly, Bulgaria Pirin village, Bulgaria Melnik, Bulgaria Serres, Greece Blagoevgrad is the largest city in Southwest Bulgaria, the administrative center of Blagoevgrad District and Blagoevgrad Municipality. It is situated at the foot of the southwestern slopes of the Rila Mountain, in the valley of the Struma River, 100 km south from the capital Sofia. The city is located on the two banks of the Bistritsa river, just before its inflow into the Struma River. Besides the clear waters of the river, important factors for the development of the city were the mineral springs and the favorable central location of the city, situated between Sofia and Thessaloniki, Kyustendil and Razlog. About 35 km away from the city, in the upper course of the Bistritsa River, is located the ancient Parangalitsa forest - one of the most valuable reserves in Bulgaria. In 1973, it was proclaimed by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve. The history of Blagoevgrad dates back to 10th century BC. The Thracian settlement Skaptopara (Upper Market) was founded around the mineral springs around 300 BC. This settlement has been associated with the Thracian tribe Denteleti who inhabited the upper valley of the Struma River. In the 1st century AD the Thracians were conquered by the Romans. A Roman settlement from 3rd-5th century has been discovered in 2017, near the village of Pokrovnik, about 3 km from Blagoevgrad. The establishment’s location did coincide with the planned route of Struma highway and it has been destroyed, with only a few of the excavated buildings being moved away from the road.

  • There Has Been No Bulgarian Tradition of Any Long-Standing Resistance to the Communist Regime
    There has been no Bulgarian tradition of any long-standing resistance to the communist regime. There was neither any political opposition, nor any other kind of an influential dissident movement. Bulgaria never went through the purgatory of the Hungarian uprising of 1956, or the “Prague spring” of 1968. It is indeed difficult to find any counter arguments whatsoever against the cliché that Bul- garia was the closest satellite of the Soviet Union. The fundamental contradictions within the Union of Democratic Forces (SDS) coalition were present from the very first day of its inception. There were Marxists who were longing for “socialism with a human face”, intellectuals with liberal ideas, social democrats and Christian democrats, conservatives and radical demo- crats, monarchists and republicans. The members of the center-right coalition did not delude themselves about their differences; they rather shared the clear un- derstanding that only a painful compromise could stand some chances against the Goliath of the totalitarian Bulgarian Communist Party (BKP). It was this unani- mous opposition to the communist regime and its legacy that made the coalition possible. But only for a limited period of time. The United Democratic Forces (ODS) government under Prime Minister Ivan Kostov (1997-2001) completed the reformist agenda of anti-communism. At the end of the ODS term of office, Bulgaria was a country with a functioning market economy, stable democracy, and a clearly outlined foreign policy course towards the country’s accession to the European Union and NATO, which was accepted by all significant political formations, the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) included.

  • Rule of Law Commodity Derivatives
    The rule of law Robert A Stein University of Minnesota Law School The essence of the rule of law, as originally attributed to Aristotle, is a “government by laws and not by men”.1 Scholars, judges and organisations in various countries, particularly in recent years, have laboured to define in greater detail the meaning of this concept.2 There is wide agreement that the concept is difficult to define in a way that captures all of its significant meaning.3 US Supreme Court Justice Anthony M Kennedy has observed: “The term Rule of Law is often invoked yet seldom defined.”4 A good starting point in examining the concept is the definition of the rule of law set forth in the 2004 Report of the Secretary General of the United Nations, entitled The Rule of Law and Transitional Justice in Conflict and Post-Conflict Societies: [The rule of law] refers to a principle of governance in which all persons, institutions and entities, public and private, including the State itself, are accountable to laws that publicly promulgated, equally enforced and independently adjudicated, and which are consistent with international human rights norms and standards. It requires, as well, measures to ensure adherence to the principles of supremacy of law, equality before the law, accountability to the law, fairness in the application of the law, separation of powers, participation in decision-making, legal certainty, avoidance of arbitrariness and procedural legal transparency.5 The principles constituting the rule of law identified in this definition are both procedural and substantive. The rule of law principles are procedural, for example, in that the laws must be the supreme law of the land, publicly promulgated, equally enforced, and adjudicated by an independent judiciary.

  • Goodwill Between Neighbors
    Chapter 2 Goodwill between Neighbors In 1975, negotiations were underway between experts from Bulgaria and Yugoslavia regarding an exhibition, Prehistoric Art in the Bulgarian Lands , soon to open at the Belgrade History Museum. The museum director expressed concern about the title because “there is a dif- ference between the Bulgarian and Serbo-Croatian meaning of [the word] ‘lands’” and required clarification about “which lands you refer to—the pres- ent or the past.” He worried—not without reason—that in Bulgarian schol- arship, the term was used to refer to all the historical kingdoms that extended beyond the current Bulgarian borders. The Bulgarian representative, trying to defuse tensions, “answered jokingly that most probably there would be no artifacts from Macedonia,” pinpointing the exact reason for the misgiv- ings of his Yugoslav colleague. 1 In a compromise, the exhibition premiered in Belgrade under a new title, Prehistoric Art in Bulgaria . 2 The contested place of Macedonia in the historical repertoires of Bul- garia and Yugoslavia caused much controversy once Bulgaria launched its international cultural offensive because it triggered rival interpretations of the past in the two countries. In October 1977, the Croatian journal Oko published a dispatch from New York City reporting on Bulgaria’s Thracian Treasures exhibition that had just opened at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The article lambasted the exhibition catalog, which featured a map that 62 GOODWILL BETWEEN NEIGHBORS 63 incorrectly showed the Balkan borders.

Not another living soul was about. He felt some strange presentiment. Some nameless fear gnawed at him. Suddenly, huge black clouds filled the sky to the east. They had approached with such speed as if pulled by swift chariots. Day was transformed into night. The first lightning bolts lit up the sky. They struck mercilessly at his palace. It began to tremble and then to crumble before his eyes. The walls fell away as if they were mere shards of wood. He stood helplessly by, rooted in place. He watched the terrible scene, powerless to intervene. Thunder and lightning, raging black sky… Horror! He wanted to cry out. But he could not utter a sound. In no time the walls of his luxurious palace were reduced to rubble… But that was not the end of his troubles. He felt some unknown presence. He turned to look… He felt a shiver rise up his spine. Suddenly the visage of an ancient black-robed crone rose up before him. Her harsh and terrible gaze cut into him like a knife. His eyes were glued to her.

Although China has never established a Western-style representative government based on elections, it has its own theory of representation. By comparing the Chinese theory with the theories about representation of Western thinkers such as the Liberals, Burke, and Rousseau, it can be found that although China’s theory is different from the Liberal views, it has illuminating similarities with Burke’s and Rousseau’s theories.

  • Capítulo Quinto Russia and Europe
    Russia and Europe: a way to revive cooperation Capítulo quinto Vladimir Lukin1 Russia and the West are at strong confrontation again. At times this confron- tation takes the form of such acute crises (like that in Georgia in 2008 and in Ukraine in 2014) that it reminds one of what Karl Marx wittingly described as a situation where the weapon of criticism gives way to criticism by weapon. It so happened that I was in the very heart of both of the abovementioned crises, although in somewhat different way and degree, and I felt the hot ten- sions first hand. This brief experience has invigorated my intention to ponder over the prerequisites and root causes of the general conflict between Rus- sia and the West – its genetic code, so to say – in a calm, academic way. Of course, it would be very naive of me to claim an ability for an exhaus- tive analysis of this issue. The root causes of the conflict lie in the distant past, it spans Russia’s entire recent and modern history, and only history can put an end to the long story, if at all. So, below I will only touch upon some aspects of the Russia-West saga. I believe each of these individual aspects and all of them in their enti- 1 Vladimir Lukin is a research professor at the National Research University Higher School of Economics in Moscow.

  • A 101-Year-Old Artist Finally Gets Her Due
    Issue 41 February 2019 A 101-Year-Old Artist Finally Gets Her Due Seniors are never too old to live to its fullest. Older adults all over the world are doing incredible things regardless of age. For most of her career, Carmen Herrera's paintings of brightly colored geometric shapes went unnoticed, while her male counterparts — Barnett Newman, Ellsworth Kelly and Frank Stella — got plenty of attention for similar work. Herrera finally made her first sale at 89. And now, at 101, it seems she's getting her due at last. The Cuban artist's work can be seen at the Tate in London, MoMA in New York, and she has an exhibition coming to the Whitney Whitney Museum of American Art in September. Tears streamed down Herrera's face as she viewed her art on display at a recent show at the Lisson Gallery in Manhattan. The 13 paintings and one sculpture were her sometimes cutting them up and moving them around.
