Shipka Monument


I decided to tell you my opinion about a real Bulgarian pride, the Shipka monument. This attraction is very special for Bulgarian people and for me, because it has left a trace from the time, which we have been slaves of the Osmanian Empire, and it is something holy. My opinion is, that we should be proud when we see any pictures of that monument, or even if we hear about it, and in my point of view is, that just the combination of words should be reason your heart to start beating faster. It shows how important was to improve our independent in past time.
Actually many popular and not so popular painters described the pain and the persistence with which Bulgarian and Russian struggled for freedom, just on a small painting. Nowadays the word Shipka is told in many poems for example Hristo Botev’s work – O, Shipka, short stories etc. There is even a restaurant in Sofia which is called O, Shipka. Another association is with some of Bulgaria’s and Russia’s most brave people. Some of the brave revolutionaries and soldiers are: Hristo Botev, Vasil Levski, George Sava Rakovski, George Benkovski and some not so popular, but respected Russian heros.
