    Original Bulgars who created Bulgaria by beating romans were Turks, slaves were their subjects. Even second Bulgaria were created by Turks. Only third Bulgaria were created by russia.

    As a traditionalist who well remembers Ireland in Times pad, I hate modern Irish dancing, the crude, commercialised stampede that it has become, the line up of vaudeville style leg kickers. It’s awful.

    I have always been a fan of Rick's until this. I found his comparison to the USA ridiculous, as if the absence of fast food was a negative, as if low consumerism was somhow lacking. It has made me realise that Americans believe that they are better, that they have a right to interfere in other countries, that they think their development has been all positive. Countless lives have been taken with American munitions, by Americans and their paid enforcers all over the world. Add this to the atrocities being carried out in Palestine by the Israelis and i surely realise the blinders are off and i cannot unsee the American savagery. When a man as gentlemanly as Rick annoys me it is the end for me and American media.

    Wrong information. Istanbul has been the name since 1453 not after 1923. How come Ottomans conquered the Constantinople and kept using the same name. Of course not, as soon as it was conquered the name was changed to Istanbul.

    Do you know this truth? 1. The clouds of the sky from all over the world are coming down to the earth more and more every day. 2. The sun and moon in the sky are super moon and super sun every day. 3. If you look closely at the sunrise and sunset, you can see the pink sky. 4. The chemical components of Chemtrail are spraying like crazy in the sky around the world. 5. If you look closely at the moon now, the moon is rotating.

    Hello Rick! You had started very bad saying Bulgarians are slavic, Bulgaria has nothing to do with Slavic, except one thing. Bulgaria spread the cyrillic alphabet and books in half known world in 9th century. That is how slavic countries started using cyrillic alphabet. During the communism from USSR wanted the world to know that Bulgaria is slavic country and to not get conected with the alphabet. In this way they started calling the alphabet slavic. Talking the alphabet, it's inventors are not the Saint brothers Cyril and Metodius. They invented the first bulgarian alphabet - glagolitza.10 years later their 5 students invented the second bulgarian alphabet and gave it the name Cyrillic( the name of the youngest Saint brother). Kliment, Naum, Sava, Gorazd and Angelarii created the alphabet in Ohrid literary university( Ohrid was the second great city in Bulgarian Empire). These 5 students spreaded the alphabet in Moravia and been sent to the prison from Moravian ruler Swetopolk. He sold them as a slaves to Venice, where one of them died, but the rest 4 somehow get back in Bulgaria. Probably Bulgarian ruler Boris paid for their freedom. As a historian I am ready to help about knowledge and advices. Thank you!
