Zvezdets in Bulgaria

A small town near the Turkish border. The far border of the European Union. In the years of decline, the military left here, but the houses were not empty for long. Now the city is captured by gypsies.

And its name perfectly conveys the content. This is Zvezdet!

Approaching the Zvezdets, the first thing you run into the gates of something abandoned.

In foreign countries, I try not to enter anywhere unnecessarily, especially when it is written that it is being protected. But from afar, he looked that it was something military.

Zvezdets was a military town where border guards stood. In the old days, this was the frontier where the socialist world met with the pro-Western. Today is the far border of the European Union. After the collapse of the communist bloc, the military left here.

At first I thought that the houses were abandoned.

Looks like traces of war. The cities of the former Yugoslavia look about the same, especially in Croatia. Only bullet holes are missing.

In fact, almost all buildings are inhabited. And that makes it even worse. The town was not empty for long.

Welcome to Zvezdets! Against the background of the monument to the fighters against capitalism and fascism, this looks especially surreal.

Abandoned house of culture. In this city, the feeling that you are being closely watched has not disappeared.

Zvezdets inhabited, and more than. Gypsies came to replace the military and simply seized empty houses. These do not wander, settled, but transport is still preferred by horse-drawn.

But next to the carts and 15-year-old buckets, near the half-abandoned houses, are expensive SUVs.

There were not so many representatives of the gypsy people on the streets.

But their breath was everywhere.

They live here illegally. And they don’t repair their own roads.

There is also a private sector with pimped houses.

Colorful, but frightening. Still, this is Europe.

But even here, among the gypsies, the resemblance to our Russian village is enormous.

Soviet cars complement the picture.

Motorcycle "Minsk". It is now driving some kind of romance.

Horses graze near the houses. Do not be surprised if they are stolen.

Contact with the natives almost took place. I saw that the gypsy was grabbing a stone and was about to swing it. He took a shot and instinctively ducked. It turned out that the boy was running away from the dog and I was not at all interested in him.

The only working store shines with originality and rhyme weaving. Gas-meat-pirons-cartridges.

Gypsies are said to never work. But does someone keep this herd of cows?

This is how Zvezdets looks like in Bulgarian. Well, really trash or can you live?
