Revision of World War Two History

In 2013, several publications were released in Bulgaria, aimed at revising the history of World War Two and the role of Red Army in the liberation of Bulgaria. For example, Professor of NBU Tsvetkov accused USSR of aggression against Bulgaria on September 5, 1944, calling the Red Army “occupational”. Professor also denies the widely known fact of pro-Soviet and pro-Russian sentiments in Bulgaria at the time. Several other articles of this nature have been published.

Furthermore, materials denying the Holocaust were spread on Bulgarian internet, as well as promotions for books by a well-known Holocaust denier Jürgen Graf. Such cases were not recorded by the monitoring in 2014.
