At one of the first demonstrations after November the 10th 1989, a man carried a long stick with the portrait of Todor Zhivkov upside down. In this ritual act of desecration we can find remains of the ancient craving for revenge of the slave to his fallen master that awakens with each social cataclysm.

That mirror was called Todor Zhivkov.
