Summary/Abstract: On September 9, 1944, Bulgaria was occupied by the Red Army and an atheistic regime similar to that in Russia was introduced. In a short time, all state institutions were taken over. The anti-religious spare the Bulgarian Orthodox Church either. Within a few months, hundreds of clergy members passed through prisons, and many were killed without trial and sentence during what is called the People’s Court. One such sufferer for the faith is priest Michael Apostolov, sentenced to death by firing squad.
