Keep it, preserve it. As a composer, of course I’d love to see it made into a concert hall, but the proposal to preserve it’s history is much more interesting and actually serves as a perfect venue for all of the arts.
Thank you for the great video. As a Bulgarian I enjoy seeing someone like you to discuss such monument, which if it was preserved , would have been a great tourist attraction, bringing people from all around the world. It would have helped the local economy. It is not too late, it can and it will be restored.
It's not going to be fully restored, just preserved kind of like the Acropolis as far as I understand, & it already was drawing in increasing amounts of tourists since about 2012
Im half Bulgarian and i believe that we need to preserve it as a museum even tho i hate communists there's no reason to let it get destroyed it could make a great place to visit and boost the local economy
Yes in the end it's something left from a by gone era and should be left for the people of the future to be able to see it, because once it's destroyed, it's gone forever. Just as a lot of ancient wonders and pieces of art have been destroyed during the ages because of political or religious differences at the time that we would've loved to have them preserved and see today. Plus people in the future will see such things through very different perspective than we have today.
I love visting soviet monuments, it's such a shame when other country's destroy them, it's part of the country's history and bad for tourism when there's nouthing left for people to see. I really want to see this one.

@@mi2-c035 I don’t want my taxes going towards preserving a monument built to glorify a regime that killed half of my family tree. I want that money to be spent towards an education reform that teaches the atrocities of communism to the young generations.
From a architectural standpoint it’s beautiful and it should be restored I love the mosaics but it is up to the people of Bulgaria with what they would like to do with it let’s hope they don’t let this fade away.
@@itslukkeee 2017, the tower was sealed off when we got there. So glad we got in when we did though because I hear its much harder now they have security on site.
God damn I wish I could go, but I also heard it's quite impossible because of security nowadays. The chimney in Trbovlje is also sealed shut, man I am late to the party.
Very cool structure in a pretty setting. But the mosaics are hideously tacky. Keep the structure, and restore it as an art museum, concert hall, or conference venue. But get rid of the kitschy mosaics.
The disrepair was not because capitalism took over Bulgaria. The disrepair started way before that, you know during the three hidden bankruptcies during the communist regime. That same regime, which tried to turn the garden of Europe into heavy industry economy paired with an unrealistically big military and ineffective production.

Agreed!
Best part was the people living / working in the town. So friendly and welcoming even though I'd never been to Central Bulgaria before!

I do

👃👃👃👃Das ist so einzigartig 💓💓💓
Fascinating architecture! Sending love and warm greetings from Missouri.
Hey I'm from Missouri too! I hope it's still standing today
Probably the most attractive brutalist structure there is!
It's sad, that noone has ever restored it yet 🙄 i find it interesting myself

This should be restore,its historic and iconic structure,just forget the regime
Agreed.
We can't just forget about the regime. This is like telling people in Western Europe to forget about the Nazi regime.
@@cliomuse1206it's even more important to preserve in order to remember, erasing is never a solution.

We don't, but the government is unlikely to keep it. I mean, it's currently trying to destroy every monument, built during the Soviet time.
В этом храме не вырывали сердца их зажигали и гореть они будут вечно.
Sad to see this master piece turned into abandoned 😢😢
it deserves to be preserved
Should sell it to me. I'll modernize it and turn it into a space center and observatory.

Ive been inside this epic place, no hard hat for me
Me too, had to go down a hole and climb down some pipes into the basement. Took me an hour to pluck up the courage to do it haha
@@JC_303 haha love it, what year were you there? I was there in 2015, climbed to the top of the spire! Epic place.

@@JC_303 Same time for me. The tower was sealed when we were there in May 2017. The climb down into the basement was fun but it was flooded.
I would so convert it to a house suitable for residence, from a building perspective, it is very cool, imo.
One of a few Brutalist legacy attractive to yours truly
shes right. It would be awful to see it turn into a shallow commercial property like everything usually is
Wow .
Very cool structure in a pretty setting. But the mosaics are hideously tacky. Keep the structure, and restore it as an art museum, concert hall, or conference venue. But get rid of the kitschy mosaics.
Koja divota!
Looks like stark house from iron man
oooo its perfect for techno 3:) :)
Timmo’s set from Buzludzha is up on TH-cam in case you didn’t know
Turn it into a ski resort
get george clarke on the case
Q: What did the communists use before candles?
A: Electricity
Дааа,быстро вы на английский лад переделались!😮
Looks like a UFO
A masterpiece of brutalism!
When capitalism took over Bulgaria, a huge part of the country fell in disrepair. This was the opposite of what people expected.

. . . and is secured by a padlock found at Dollar Tree . . . 😇
In the end capitalism won.
this monument glorifies the force of people, unfortunately, propaganda-filled people wouldn't be able to see things this way.
looks like a toilet from far away 💀
Preserve it so people remember the suffering and death the world has and currently endured under communism
