Bulgaria Buzludzha Monument

Perched like a UFO, the Buzludzha Monument, near the town of Kazanlak east of the Bulgarian capital Sofia, Tuesday, April, 04, 2017, was built by the Bulgarian communist regime. It commemorates events in 1891 that saw socialists, led by Dimitar Blagoev, assemble secretly to form an organised socialist movement in the form of the Bulgarian Social Democratic Party, a forerunner of the Bulgarian Communist Party. The Monument was opened in 1981. However, the Bulgarian government doesn't have the resources needed to carry out necessary repair and conservation works and the mounoment has fallen into disrepair. A local resident said: "This monument is unique in all the world and, if it is restored in future, can be a huge attraction for tourists and bring much money for the region."
