Bulgaria

Bulgarian Flag
In 1878, Russia helped Bulgaria gain its independence from the Turkish Ottoman Empire. In gratitude, the Bulgarians adopted the then Russian flag of white-blue-red, but changed the blue to green as a symbol of agriculture. Bulgaria was under Communist rule from 1948 to 1990, when a coat of arms appeared on the white stripe.

National Anthem

Proudly rise the Balkan peaks, At their feet Blue Danube flows; Over Thrace the sun is shining, Pirin looms in purple glow. CHORUS Oh, dear native land, Earthly paradise! For your loveliness, your beauty E'er will charm our eyes.
