Buzludja is the largest monument of ideological communism in Bulgaria. 
The building was created by architect Georgi Stoilov. Construction 
took seven years of hard work, which was attended by more than 6,000 
workers and 20 leading Bulgarian artists. 

Above the interior 
decoration painters worked for 18 months. The facility was 
officially opened in 1981, the day of the 1300 anniversary 
of the founding of the Bulgarian state. Somewhere at the bottom 
of the building was laid by a capsule with a message to future 
generations, which explains the significance of the whole structure.

The internal situation is very luxurious - a mixture of marble and glass, plus 500 square meters of mosaic murals, which depicted the Bulgarian and Soviet communist themes.

Ever since the superseding of Bulgarian president Todor 
Givkovand and the political changes that occurred in 
Bulgaria from 1989, the state of the monument has been 
worsening. portraits of Ludmila and Todor Givkov have 
been voluntarily destroyed. The copper adornments have 
been stolen. The building is slowly disintegrating; 
marauders are consistently breaking windows and stealing 
mosaics and ornaments. Nowadays, the monument is abandoned 
and no public institution seems to be concerned by the 
conservation of renovation of the building. The Bulgarian 
socialist party itself is not taking any action towards 
the maintenance of its most important symbol.The big star 
has been perforated by gunshots because it was thought 
to be made out of ruby.
