Abstract

From the 1944 communist coup in Bulgaria, its leaders modelled its economy on Marxian principles and integrated it into COMECON (Council for Mutual Economic Assistance) under the leadership of the USSR (Lewis, 1991). In 1989, after the collapse of the USSR with the resultant major changes in the countries of the Eastern Bloc and their trade relations, Bulgaria embarked on a course of political and economic ambivalence. Following the downfall of its communist leadership, open elections returned the Communist Party to power in 1990. In 1991, the opposition United Democratic Front (UDF) gained power. Under the leadership of Philip Dimitrov, major changes were instituted, which lead to his demise as prime minister and the establishment of a technical government (supposedly apolitical). Elections in 1994 returned the communists to power with an absolute majority at the central government level. They returned to power in all but a handful of municipalities in the 1996 local elections. The presidency had remained under the control of the UDF through the entire period.
