Interview with Bulgarian Scholar Bozhin Traykov:
Bozhin Traykov has a PhD in Sociology from the University of Alberta, Canada. His main research interests are the interrelation between the political economy of neoliberalism and anticommunism as ideology and political strategy and the new forms of anticommunist nationalism linked to the historical legacy of fascism. He also has a podcast, Polyphony of Dissent, in Bulgarian language, where he talks with sociologists, historians, political scientists and activists.
