This book is a brief account of what has been achieved and not achieved in various areas of public life in Bulgaria over the last thirty years, defined by some as a completed, by others as an incomplete, or even as a permanent transition from dictatorship to democracy. The following well known authors have expressed their views on these difficult questions in an open and (un) biased manner:
Alexander Andreev, Andrey Raychev and Kancho Stoychev, Antony Todorov, Antonina Zhelyazkova, Georgi Lozanov, Evgeni Daynov, Emil Harsev, Ivan Krastev, Ivan Stambolov-Sula, Iskra Baeva, Maria Vasileva, Mikhail Ivanov.
Their ideas, reflections, memories and predictions are as diverse as their professions and as their political beliefs.
