This is a story of how Coca-Cola has entered Bulgaria during the time of Communist regime in the mid-1960s. Till 1965 the communist propaganda described Coca- Cole as an alcoholic drink of the American soldiers. Bulgaria happened to be the very first socialist country where Coca-Cola has succeeded to break the ideological rules by having a trade contract and opening bottling factories. The contract was possible due to initiative of Mr. Toncho Michajlov, who has made the first contact with the Coca-Cola Company in 1965 with Mr. Alexander Makinsky. This is a story of a battle - the battle between the propaganda type of economy and the free market economy, a battle between the ideological communist society and the enterpreneur spirit. A story about the unknown sides of the communist history and the times of the Cold War. |
