The Rider of Madara

In Madara Village, 20 km away from Shoumen, the champion of the Bulgarian state has been staying awaken for 12 centuries by now. Lifted up his head proudly, fused with the vertical rock, at a height of 23 m his eyes can see far away.

А lilac path goes to the platform at the foot of the smooth rock. If the weather is good and the sun shines on the rock, you will be able to look at his stately figure. The scene is not hunting or military – as if the time has stopped and the Rider is...

These words were told by an old, tall and thin man with an worn out green tunic and a shabby green cap.

I took a sip of the bottle and gave it to another man with a camouflage suit. This was a month ago,...
