In 2007, 10 years after February 4, 1997, when the Bulgarian Socialist Party admitted to its obvious failure and decided not to appoint a new Cabinet, Georgi Parvanov (then BSP leader and current president) demanded this episode become part of history books.
We agree insofar as the history is true and not that, which he imposes on us. And not because of February 4 itself but the events that led up to it.

Now, on the 13th anniversary of the fatal event, there is no doubt one person was a big beneficiary of that act, which then infuriated many of Parvanov’s fellow party members, who obviously had not been privy to the importance of this operation. This profiteer in the long run proved to be Parvanov himself.

We can hold our peace about the former chief of staff of the Party and minister of interior Nikolay Dobrev, who was burdened with the task to form a second red cabinet after the collapse of the first, when Zhan Videnov was prime minister. We have, however, a major player who is alive and kicking, who drew great profit from February 4. It is no incident he wants to canonize this date to be worshipped by the generations to come. Him we can ask, at least in theory.

Over the years, memories can fade away about everything connected with those events, but not about a "minor detail": hyperinflation. It acquired international fame with the description "Bulgarian" and as such became enshrined in some textbooks on economics - t.e. unseen, fantastic, Bulgarian!

А detail within this "detail" is that the worst inflation occurred in the last month of the civil protests in 1997. Exactly then the "heroes" of the peaceful coup d’etat pretended they wanted to form a new coalition, and after that a pure red government.

Now, 13 years later, it is time to ask: Was it accidental procrastination? And there is another, even more fatal question: which people are most grateful of those who plundering the savings of Bulgarian citizens, worth millions, during those weeks of delay? Then they suddenly "found" a solution on February 4, 1997, when Bulgaria had broken all known records of global devaluation of national currency.
