Agence France Presse reports:
Bulgaria observed for the first time a day of remembrance for the victims of the country's 45-year communist regime on the anniversary of the first killings on February 1, 1945.
Between December 1944 and April 1945, the self-proclaimed People's Court set up by the newly established communist regime ordered the killing of a total of 2,730 Bulgarians.

A part-Bulgarian/Native American former soldier from Fallujah told me that while growing up in Brooklyn, he felt like he was black as the rest. For this reason, he got stuck in the mob, sent to Fallujah, ended up with a disability after the carnage, tried to kill himself while living in San Francisco, spent tiime in the SF VA Hospital after Russian roulette went bad and still gets nauseous while speaking about Fallujah. Heard he was evicted from his rental on Maui, slept with a girl who didn't have a vagina after injury, ended up drunk and violent until he was living in his car being used by groups who thought he was cool. He didn't mention being from 1st generation Commies.
