Fest10.11: In the Footsteps of Freedom (in English)

The early 1990s marked the end of 45 years of communism and the beginning of the transition to democracy — a time of great change and uncertainty, but also of great hope for the future. Our route takes us back to the late 1980s, when the first rallies and marches began in Sofia, marking the end of the regime. Participants pass through the places where thousands of people first took to the streets with slogans calling for democracy and truth — Alexander Batenberg Square, the National Assembly, and the Crystal Garden. The atmosphere of change comes alive in the guides' narration. In times of crisis and challenge, the tour reminds us of the power of civil society to change the course of history and invites us to reflect on what freedom means today.
