  • “The Readiness Is All,” Or the Politics of Art in Post-Communist Bulgaria
    Boika Sokolova and Kirilka Stavreva “The readiness is all,” or the Politics of Art in Post-Communist Bulgaria At some point around the turn of the millennium, even as Bulgaria adopted the dominant ideological discourse of Western democracy, finalized the restitution of land and urban property to pre-World War II owners, carried out large-scale privatization of government assets, and took decisive steps toward Euro-Atlantic integration, its political transition got stuck in the vicious circle of post-communism.1 Post-communism, hardly a condition limited to Bulgaria, we define as a forestalled democratic transition whose ultimate goals of freedom, justice, and economic prosperity have been hijacked. As poet and political activist Edvin Sugarev maintains, most Bulgarians today perceive the “transition to democracy as a territory of crushed hopes,” as “a free fall into philistinism and absurdity . recognized as degradation and experienced as depression.”2 Bulgarian post-communism has generated a façade democracy, marked by a vast divide between the haves and the have-nots, a feeble middle class, pervasive corruption, a devastating demographic crisis, and wide-ranging social apathy and desperation.3 Social stratification has reduced to basic survival a disturbingly large number of Bulgarians. In the 1 Bulgaria joined NATO's Partnership for Peace in 1994, applied for NATO membership in 1997, and was admitted in 2004. In 1995 it formally applied for EU membership and, having met membership conditions, joined the Union in 2007, although it was not granted full working rights until 2012. According to the World Bank, the two-stage mass privatization program (under Videnov’s government in 1995-96 and under Kostov’s, 1998-2000) resulted in 85% of privatization of overall state assets by the end of 2000 (http://www.fdi.net/documents/WorldBank/databases/plink/factsheets/bulgaria.htm).

This book is a compelling expose of the plot behind the plot-the concoction by the Italian secret services of a Bulgarian Connection in the attempted assassination of the Pope. The reader of this book is faced with staggering proof that the media utterly failed to meet acceptable standards of care and professionalism. The Rise and Fall of the Bulgarian Connection is a serious and realistic assessment of the handling by the western press of a propaganda trick; it shows how the press was led by a handful of journalists linked to the CIA into accepting as proof a fabricated story. In following this case, lawyers were disheartened by the erosion of the principle of the presumption of innocence. And just as the legal sys­ tem failed to probe the case against the accused Bulgarians in accor­ dance with that presumption, so the media ignored information suggest­ ing hidden political motives behind the accusations.
