And, if you’re a foreigner and, for some reason, bored, as of May 2006, you have permission to look into the Interior Ministry archives, which contain information on six old departments of the Interior Ministry, which existed during the years of communist regime from 1944 to 1990. The 3500 files, structured in six sections at present, reveal information for the period from 1944 to 1978. All you need do is apply to the General Department of Archives at the Council of Ministers of Republic of Bulgaria.
