In 1946, the communist authorities took advantage of our fathers and our ancestors to keep some important infrastructure sites in the country free. With the enthusiasm to build their home and their children – Bulgaria, they managed to push our country forward at the cost of voluntary and exhausting work. Those who refused to participate were threatened and punished.

There are so many builders that they are nameless, because almost all young people – uneducated people, minors, officers, soldiers and students – are involved in this voluntary work. Former partisans and political prisoners also set an example in construction. Each group’s work lasts for several months, after which some builders are replaced by new ones.
On August 5, 1946, 2,075 soldiers began digging a first-class road through Hainboaz Pass, named Republic Pass. This is the same pass that was used during the War of Independence, when some of the Russian troops came out behind Veysel Pasha’s army, which was guarding the Shipchen route. In the battle near the village of Seinovo, the Turkish troops were defeated. The pass was then abandoned until 1946, when the first youth labor brigade was assembled to maintain the road.
The length of the pass is 57.5 km, and the height of the saddle is 698 meters. For almost two years, with a lot of manual labor and dynamite to blow up the rocks on the way, the Republic Way was built between the Eleno-Tverdishka and the Trevnenska mountains.

The brigadier movement built today’s Dimitrovgrad with many of its residential buildings and street network, as well as the “Vulkan” cement and asbestos factory near the city, first for free, and later with minimal wages.
The Brigadiers built the railway lines (Lovech – Troyan, Pernik – Voluyak, Samuil – Silistra), the dams “Alexander Stamboliyski” (in the municipalities of Suhindol and Sevlievo), “Georgi Dimitrov” (today’s “Koprinka” in the Starozagorsk region), the dam on the river Maritsa and others.

From 1971, the second stage of foreman training began, in which pupils and students were involved in the harvesting of agricultural products and their processing in concerned enterprises.
When it is said with nostalgia today how much was built during the time of socialism and how difficult it is to build today (“What socialism built, you can not paint” – one of the usual lines on the occasion) it is good to answer the question: Is it possible today to put anyone to work for the country for free? The answer is clear.
