After a Communist takeover in 1945, Bulgaria was a Soviet ally during the Cold War, and maintained good relationships with Russia until the Revolutions of 1989. In World War II, Bulgaria started as a member of the Axis powers,[6] but when the Soviets invaded the Balkans, Bulgaria joined the Allied powers on the Soviet side.[7] The Soviet Red Army backed the Bulgarian coup d'état of 1944 which brought the Bulgarian Communist Party to power. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Soviet First Secretary Joseph Stalin signed the secret percentages agreement at the Fourth Moscow Conference allowing the Soviet Union 80 percent of influence in Bulgaria after the war.[8] From 1945 to 1948, the country became entrenched within the Soviet sphere of influence under the control of the Bulgarian Communist Party (BCP) which oversaw a program of Stalinization in the late 1940s and 1950s,[9] and joined the Warsaw Pact in 1955.[9] Political repression was widespread.[9] Bulgaria became highly dependent on Soviet patronage. Soviet technical and financial aid enabled it to rapidly industrialize. The USSR provided Bulgaria with energy and a market for its goods.[10] Bulgaria also received large-scale military aid from the Soviet Union, worth USD $16.7 billion between 1946 and 1990.[11] Bulgaria remained part of the Eastern Bloc until 1989, when the BCP began to drift away from the USSR. The first multi-party elections were held in 1990 and the BCP lost power in elections the following year.[9] Top quality,Very collectible piece PLEASE SEE PICTURES FOR DETAILS!
