Reihe: Soviet and Post-Soviet Politics and Society

Boris Popivanov reassesses the Bulgarian Socialist Party—arguably, the most important political entity in Bulgaria's post-communist history. Considering its internal problems and challenges from a radical grassroots Left, Popivanov explores how the party was the only political organization to remain important after the end of communism. He analyzes the current social and political situation threatening the Socialists and argues for a complete reformulation of the concept of the "Bulgarian Left."
