 [Sofia 1982] | The building behind me is the mausoleum of the communist leader Georgi Dimitrov. After the falling of communism in 1989 Dimitrov's relatives took his body and buried it. The mausoleum was used as part of scenery for some open-air operas like Prince Igor and Aida. In 2000 the mausoleum was detonated and removed. Now there is a beautiful park on that place. |
