The term "socialism" was the communists' way of describing their own regime in Bulgaria from 1944 until 1989. This book is about the nostalgia for socialism in Bulgaria and the people who are prone to this kind of political orientation. It examines the various generations longing for the socialist (communist) past, the mechanisms which encourage the feeling, and the types of nostalgic groups. The author comments on the consequences of mythologizing the socialist past and the obsession with that controversial period. He uses a novel historico-ethnographic approach, drawing on ample empirical ethnographic data collected over a period of more than 25 years.
