The many broken tiles in Sofia makes the place look like there has been a huge earthquake.

Wrong, it had started in 1944 already and was more or less finalized by 1987. They just opened a new phase with the "Multigroup" government that came in late 1992.

That`s a treasure for sure! Thank you for publishing this on UA-cam! Greetings from Sofia!
Soon I'll post a few more that I found on my old recordings :) Stay tuned!
Much more beautiful, peaceful, poetic and cleaner than today
Thanks for watching and for your comments

What happened?

I love watching videos from the 90s of Sofia, thanks for posting. It is definitely interesting to see how the city is growing.

Sad but true
Wasn't that a printing/publishing company's office? (Българин съм.)
