A Better Tomorrow: The Georgi Dimitrov Mausoleum

Increasing hope and inevitable disappointment shape the course of three 20th century Bulgarian political upheavals. The story is told by representatives of two generations, inhabiting the visual space around the Georgi Dimitrov Mausoleum, a monument to Bulgaria's first communist dictator. Despite three failed attempts by Bulgaria's anti-Communist rulers to blast the mausoleum into history, the Mausoleum remains standing. The oblique and macabre symbol provokes the viewer to question his or her assumptions about themes commonly taken for granted: freedom and responsibility, democracy, hope and disappointment.

TRUTH....There is no "nice government" anywhere in the world.Any one who gets to any power post usualy gets there by lies and brutality, not by being nice. Governments and politics are no playground for nice and fair people.YOU ONLY CHANCE AS INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM LOVING HUMAN BEING IS TO HIDE ASSETS,BLEND IN AND STAY OFF THE RADAR OF ANY GOVERNMENT.DON'T FORGET THAT PLAYNG DUMB IS IMPORTANT DEFENCE.Good luck to all of you under any government.

Bulgaria was never a socialist nation. Georgi Dimitrov Mikhaylov was a Stalinist who was just another dictator. He and his anticommunist rats of the Bulgarian Communist Party betrayed Marxism and never introduced workers democracy or the rule of the proletariat.

The Republic of Bulgaria today is a right-wing nest of capitalists and EU lovers.
