As a Bulgarian who studied Albanian history, I found Free truly impressive. It offers a much-needed, nuanced perspective on our shared past in the former communist countries. I’m looking forward to the Bulgarian edition!

Both cases are very similar, still the protest in Serbia is much larger. We wanted morality, transparency, accountability, no corruption etc. www.iwm.at/transit-onli...

Sure, but systemic change requires political power. We believed we could change the country through ideas and leading by example, driven by strong anti-party sentiments. Twelve years later, Bulgaria remains in political deadlock.

When I was a student and we occupied universities in Bulgaria, we said the same—we weren’t offering an alternative political party, but an alternative way of life. Yet, years after that, another movement emerged, and soon, there will be another. The cycle continues, and dissatisfaction remains.
