Bulgaria observed February 1 as the Day of Homage to the Victims of the Communist Regime, a poignant reminder of the dark historical chapter that unfolded in the aftermath of World War II.

As Bulgaria observes the "Day of Remembrance for the Victims of Communism," the nation solemnly reflects on a pivotal moment in its history. Instituted in 2011 at the behest of former Presidents Zhelyu Zhelev and Petar Stoyanov, this day serves as a poignant tribute to the victims of a dark chapter that unfolded during the 25th National Assembly on February 1, 1945.
