Post-communism in Bulgaria

Post-communism in Bulgaria refers to the period after 1989 when the country transitioned from a communist regime to a democratic, market-oriented society. This shift involved dismantling state-controlled institutions, establishing private property rights, and implementing political reforms to promote democracy and civil liberties. The transition faced challenges such as economic restructuring, corruption, and political instability, but also opened opportunities for Western integration, foreign investment, and greater individual freedoms. Overall, it represents Bulgaria’s efforts to redefine its political, economic, and social identity after decades of communist rule.
