Mila Rodino
From Free net encyclopedia
Mila Rodino ("Мила Родино", translated as "Dear Motherland" or "Dear native land") is the current national anthem of Bulgaria. It is based on the music and text of the song "Gorda Stara Planina" by Tsvetan Radoslavov, written and composed as he left to fight in the Serbo-Bulgarian War in 1885. The anthem was adopted in 1964. The text has been changed numerous times, last in 1990.
Between 1886 and 1944, the Bulgarian national anthem was Shumi Maritsa ("Шуми Марица").

The last verse is omitted on official occasions. During Communist rule, an additional verse was added in 1964 that referred to Moscow (under direct instructions of Todor Zhivkov), the Bulgarian Communist Party and the "victorious regime". After the democratic changes in 1989, this part of the anthem was removed.
