About this episode
The episode discusses the political landscape in Bulgaria and Greece during a time of monarchist and communist triumphs.
In Greece, the triumph of the monarchist faction has brought about a return of the King alongside a military dictatorship. Meanwhile, the old guard faction of the Bulgarian communists is triumphant as well, liquidating the left-sectarian faction and taking full control of the organization. But at home, Tsar Boris outplays the opposition to take further control of the government. Supporters like you make this podcast happen!
