Fact one: there is a Russian folk saying, “Chicken is not fowl and Bulgaria is not abroad” (I am sorry I cannot quote it in original; my Russian is a bit tired today!).
Fact
two: since the beginning of the Ukrainian crisis, people in Bulgaria have grouped
in two opposite “parties”: the putinists and the antiputinists. It is
interesting that almost everybody has taken a stance, no matter of his or her
previous political affiliation.
Fact
three: I have overheard myself an old woman in Bucharest (Romania) whining
about the hardships of living in “this damned capitalism”, expressing regrets
for “the shiny times” of president Ceausescu and concluding: “If the Russian
come and take over, maybe life will be worthy again, who knows…”.
My
theory: the poor have no homeland (Romanian: “Sarantocii n-au patrie”). All
these poor people in Romania and Bulgaria have no sense of patriotism, even if
they invariably vote for the most extremist political party in each country
(Romania Mare party in Romania and Ataka party in Bulgaria). Remember that
these two countries are the poorest in the European Union (Croatia, that has
been admitted in EU six years after them, is a far richer country), and their
press in Europe is very bad; ergo, the majority of citizens in Romania and
Bulgaria are not only incredible poor, but disillusioned with EU and very
embittered because of their “paria” status inside of the EU.
A
conclusion? If Russia wants to get these two countries, it will get them without
a firearm. The enormous mass of poor people will do anything what Russia tell
them do: killing their own national elite, for a start.
Have
you forgotten that Bulgarian high priests were hanged naked in the streets of
Sofia, back in the fifties, because of their anti-Russian stance? I haven’t.
Have you forgotten that half a million of Romanian elite was murdered by local
communists, guided by their Russians advisers? I haven’t. Have you forgotten
that those who committed such deeds are still here, in Bulgaria and Romania,
they or their followers? I haven’t. Nor the Russians: their fifth column is right
here. Beware!
