The Аssassination
In 1925 a group from the Military Center of the Bulgarian Communist Party blew up the church 'St. King (now 'St. Nedelya') in Sofia. As a result 150 souls perished and many more were injured. What aims did these people pursue? What should we call them today - mad, insane, terrorists, idealists? It is time we realized the bitter truth that their aim was irrelevantly obscure.
