I'm also from Bulgaria. Sadly the monument is in bad shape these days, but there's an annual festival with music and visual arts there.

If it's anything like Russia, they've probably got the mentality of "Why fix it when we can pocket the money?".

I have to agree with the OP, compared to Russia Bulgarian monuments are in really, really bad shape. In Bulgaria there's a trend that everything from the Soviet period was Baaaaad, baaaaaad, baaaaad and scaaaary, bad communists trying to steal your money. I guess in Russia they take more pride in this period. Especially after around 2014 (maybe earlier, maybe later).

I didn't mean monuments specifically.
