Summary/Abstract: The year 1947 occupies a special place in the dynamic events in Europe after the end of the Second World War. Moscow did away with its political opposition that had existed to that moment in the states of its orbit. During that same year the former Allies settles their wartime accounts, and in the countries of Eastern Europe that fell in the orbit of Moscow was propagandized the building of socialism. Washington openly opposed communism and secured this line with such measures as the Marshall Plan and the Truman Doctrine. Bulgaria, like the other East European countries, remained outside the big American initiatives, launched in 1947, and since then has been regarded as one of the countries included in the Soviet bloc in which the likelihood of social and political changes with democratic orientation was minimal.
