Declassified

CIA reports on the People's Republic of Bulgaria, now declassified. One file at a time, read page by page and put back in context. Each file is published on the anniversary of the day the CIA distributed it. Most of these documents are source reports: what an informant told the CIA, often unevaluated. They are presented as such, not as established facts.

Each point marks a city named in a report. It does not confirm what the report claims.
