When the communist regime still in power in Bulgaria, those who try to touch the monument in the capital Sofia is likely to be shot. The monument in question is the Monument of Struggle of the Red Army (Red Army) Soviet Union during World War II.
The monument describes the liberation of Bulgaria from the hands of the German Nazi forces by the Soviet army in 1944. That's why, during the regime of Soviet-controlled communist Bulgaria, the monument is considered sacred.
However, an artist who is known to alter the sanctity of the monument built in 1954. The Red Army was transformed into a bunch of comics and cartoon characters.
Superman in the middle looks to lead his troops. Behind the Superman, see Ronald McDonald, the iconic fast-food restaurants from the United States McDonald, who was holding the flag of the United States. In addition, other characters appear, such as Santa Claus, Captain America, Joker, and Robin.
At the bottom of the monument, the unknown artist and then write a message in Bulgaria, which once described the socio-political conditions in Bulgaria: "Moving with the times"
Not yet known who the artist would dare do that artistic vandalism. The possibility of unknown artists that do work at night, because people know that until the morning of Sofia.
After the Soviet Red Army liberating Bulgaria from the Nazis, Bulgaria also apply the same political system with the Soviets, that is communism. This period lasted from 1944 until the fall of the Communist Party of Bulgaria on 10 November 1989.
After the fall of communist regime, Bulgaria and then conduct elections freely for the first time in 1990. Afterwards, in 1991, the new constitutional system was implemented.
