Born 1904 - Kilifarevo, Bulgaria, died May 28th 1925 - Belovo, Bulgaria.

Born in Kilifarevo, Bulgaria on 14th August 1904, the student-actress Mariola Sirakova belonged to a well-off family. She revolted from an early age against her social background and became an anarchist communist when she went to the Girls High School at Tarnovo in 1919.

She regularly took part in secret anarchist meetings.

She began a relationship with another Bulgarian anarchist, Gueorgui Cheitanov. She associated with other important anarchists like Petar Maznev, Georgi Simeonov Popov, and others. In her frre time, she acted in the Orpheus Theatre Company in Kilifarevo. In 1922-23 she studied in Pleven. She often hid wanted anarchists like Vassil Popov and Valko Shankov

In 1923 a military coup led to the butchery of 35,000 workers and peasants. The armed resistance that followed ended with the bomb attack by the Communist Party on Sofia cathedral which was aimed at the country's elite. A massive campaign of repression was then unleashed by the fascists and military against the revolutionary movement.

Mariola was arrested by the police, and brutally beaten. In June 1924 she returned to Kilifarevo. She was arrested again, but soon released. She gave support to the Kilifarevo cheta (armed guerilla unit), bringing them food, medicine and clothes and caring for the wounded.

Special police detachments were set up to hunt Cheitanov down. All the guerrillas united into a single detachment, being forced to disperse towards the end of May. Cheitanov and Mariola Sirakova, were caught in an ambush and arrested. They were taken to Belovo railway station and shot with 12 other prisoners on May 28th June 1925.

Are there people who really take that seriously?

I always that it was Mandalas, the sand paintings, and was very confused that it was actually Nelson Mandela.

There are entire subs of people on reddit-logo that take it deathly serious

Anytime they remember something wrong (which, you know, is incredibly common in all people), it can't be their brain; it has to be the entire universe switching around them

Feel like time is passing slower, or faster ? it can't be aging, or your mood; it has to be time itself being messed around with

One particularly sad example is /r/RetConned

Oh I love subs like that. I get a similar fix from r/UFOs.

/r/HighStrangeness is often good slop too

A real timewaster, though in a different style, is also /r/CreepyAskReddit

Yeah but those guys are too chill. Everyone in the comments just accepts every post point blank and then adds their own thoughts, it's like Joe Rogan going "that's crazy, you ever try DMT?". r/UFOs and r/aliens are constantly at each others throats (the aliens/government/enemy government/spiritual conspiracists), but go apeshit collectively whenever a skeptic enters the thread. It's like Balkan politics, infighting until a westerner comes along.

Glad to see someone enjoying these sub's the same way I do though

Anarchism is a social movement that seeks liberation from oppressive systems of control including but not limited to the state, capitalism, racism, sexism, speciesism, and religion. Anarchists advocate a self-managed, classless, stateless society without borders, bosses, or rulers where everyone takes collective responsibility for the health and prosperity of themselves and the environment.
