Original Note:
The monument was erected in 1954 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Soviet forces entering Bulgaria. The arrival of the Red Army in 1944 marked the start of 45 years of hard Communist rule & Soviet domination of Bulgaria. Some saw the monument as a symbol of oppression. https://www.euractiv.com/section/politics/news/bulgaria-begins-demolition-of-soviet-army-monument/ https://balkaninsight.com/2023/12/12/after-30-years-of-debate-bulgaria-dismantles-red-army-monument/
