Hey, I am a youngster living in Turkey and my family is from Bulgaria. Growing up in a family in which old stories are told (not necessarily bad, more like their city and their life in general) and political struggles of the time are discussed I have an understanding of Bulgaria, Bulgarians, Turks from Bulgaria etc. I want to interact with Bulgarians and to see how you percieve us. So please ask any questions you want. Let's discuss the subject in a respectful and peaceful manner.
I posted this in Feb/March this year, back when we were less than 10k.
Just wanted to remind you that the data is real. The history is real. There is no silver, and yes, it is really scarce.
I live in Bulgaria. This is an interview with Todor Zhivkov, the commie leader of our country (Until the 10th of Nov 1989). Sorry there are no subtitles, but most slavic apes will understand: https://youtu.be/H9jrLR1WyOk
Around the 39:30 mark of the video he says that the foreign banks were "begging" Bulgaria to take loans, as they knew we had a strong economy and big gold reserves. And then he goes on saying "We only didn't have a silver reserve, because the electronic industry swallowed a lot of silver".
Back then, we were only producing radios, tvs, some "Pravets" PCs. There were no mobile phones, no tablets. And yet, the electronic industry "swallowed" all the silver.
It is real, folks. Everything we are fighting for.
When Yugoslavia’s great purge began, and Chervenkov escaped, all hell broke loose across the nation, especially in the hard-hit region of Bulgaria. Tito made some minor concessions after the chaos began and he realized he’d gone too far, but to several high-ranking members of the Party the concessions were not going to be enough to restore calm. Three of these men met in Belgrade to try and take matters into their own hands.
The first is Edvard Kardelj, a Slovene former partisan who has served in several pivotal roles under Tito including deputy prime minister, foreign minister and president of the federal assembly (this last role he served in until 1967.) The second is Todor Zhivkov, a prominent Bulgarian politician widely considered the second most powerful man in Bulgaria- until Chervenkov fled, of course. The third is Nikola Ljubičić, a four-star general and the nation’s current minister of defense. Kardelj was currently not in any official government position, but due to his closeness to Tito he held significant political clout and felt best positioned to make change. He notified Zhivkov and Ljubičić, whom he trusted greatly, of his plan, and they both agreed to help.
The three men approached Tito and demanded an audience with him. They gave it to the Marshal straight: while they were fiercely loyal to him and his cause, a massive purge like this made them worry that Tito was no longer mentally fit to serve as Yugoslavia’s leader. After a good deal of cajoling, threats, promises, and reportedly a personal appeal by Kardelj, Tito saw reason and reluctantly agreed to hand over his de facto power to the three men. With a shocked government mutely acquiescing to the new troika’s soft coup, they have set out to repair the situation for good.
The troika’s orders amount to nearly a total reversal of the purge. All people designated for arrest and already arrested have been pardoned, including Chervenkov, who has been invited to return and resume his business in the Bulgarian government. All military staff purged have been offered their jobs in the military once again. The government has ordered that purges and violence on the local level cease immediately, and the JNA and Milicija are to deploy to areas of violence to restore order and prevent any further incidents. Internal security forces will investigate and apprehend those responsible for the killings. The military situation in Bulgaria must also be dealt with; the government asks that General Sabev r

保加利亚今天(14日)举行一年内的第三次国会大选投票。但民意调查显示，这次选举恐将再度出现另一次不确定的结果，阻碍该国针对能源价格高涨、COVID-19(2019年冠状病毒疾病)疫情以及大规模贪污问题所做的努力。
保加利亚是欧洲联盟中最贫穷的国家，政治僵局持续已久，如果这次大选仍无法组成一个可以运作的政府，期待在2024年前加入欧元区的计画也将继续落空。
保加利亚今天也同步举行总统大选，而这是一个大致只具象徵意义的职位。民调显示，今年58岁的现任总统拉德夫(Rumen Radev)可望在11月21日的第二回合投票中，赢得连任，取得第二个5年总统任期。
保加利亚自今年4月大选就陷入政治不确定性。这次选举终结了前总理巴里索夫(Boyko Borisov)及其中间偏右「保加利亚公民欧洲发展党」(GERB)长达10年的统治。巴里索夫的政府被控严重贪污，保加利亚人民在去年发动大规模示威，要求巴里索夫下台。
对政策的歧见以及敌对，使得巴里索夫的对手，也就是所谓改变的政党，在4月大选后，无法筹组执政联盟，导致今年7月二度举行国会选举。
GERB抓住了政治僵局、能源价格上涨以及COVID-19病例和死亡人数增加的机会，巩固了该党的支持者。根据最新民调，GERB的支持度达24%，可望成为国会最大党。
但分析家指出，巴里索夫恐怕无法找到盟友筹组联合政府。今年62岁的巴里索夫身材魁梧、曾任已故前共党独裁者日夫科夫(Todor Zhivkov)的保镳。
由两位曾在美国哈佛大学接受教育的前总理领导、标榜「零贪腐」的中间政党，被认为最有机会与另外两个反贪腐派系和社会党(Socialists)谈判，组成联合政府。
根据民调，这个名称为「我们延续改变」(We Continue the Change)的新政党，与社会党的支持度大约都是15%至16%，正争取第二大党的地位。
民调公司「Market Links」的分析师表示，目前看来，由所谓改变的政党以及社会党组成政府，可能性最大。
今年52岁的工程师米海洛夫(Ivailo Mihailov)表示，他希望这次大选能够产生一个解决高层贪腐的政府。根据国际透明组织(Transparency International)，保加利亚是欧盟会员国中，贪污问题最严重的国家。
米海洛夫说，「司法体系是最大的问题，或者可以说是根本没有司法。除非有一个政客或重要商人被真正判刑，否则保加利亚不会有好事发生」。

He cancelled the petrol supplies to Bulgaria causing economic difficulties to our country. He organized a coup d'état against our leader Todor Zhivkov.
He allowed western anti-communist authors to be published in Soviet Union. Thanks to his perestroika the newspaper started spreading shit against socialism like dark things about Lenin and Stalin's era and whatnot. He also caused deficit and empty shops on purpose. All was done to make people detest socialism so they would want it to be replaced.
He implemented the Sinatra Doctrine which granted the Warsaw pact states independence from Moscow.
He removed the CPSU's monopoly of power and then eventually dissolved the party. That's what he did. He purposely removed socialism. And gave the COMECON and the Warsaw pact as a gift to the west.
He intentionally planned to remove socialism. He helped the west to achieve what they wanted - to destroy our economy and turn us into servants of the west.
That's what he did.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
The main candidates: Enver Hoxha (Albania), Josip Broz Tito (Yugoslavia), Nicolae Ceaușescu (Romania), Todor Zhivkov (Bulgaria). Feel free to add any other Balkan dictator.
Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.
We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
And now I’m cannelloni
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
And boy are my arms legs.
But that’s comparing apples to oranges
Put it on my bill
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
