Rabotnichesko delo
Media of Bulgaria |
Rabotnichesko delo (Bulgarian: Работническо дело, "Worker's Deed") was a Bulgarian daily newspaper that was the media organ of the Bulgarian Communist Party's Central Committee[1] and was one of the People's Republic of Bulgaria's highest-circulation newspapers. The newspaper was established in 1927 and was issued from Sofia.[1] The first newspaper was released on 5 March 1927. The paper was renamed to Duma, (Bulgarian: Дума), "Word", in 1990. Duma, despite some financial troubles, is still issued today.
Rabotnichesko delo was initially the weekly of the Bulgarian Workers' Party. Although it was banned following the
Axis Powers, advocating closer ties with the Soviet Union
instead.
After the
Bulgarian coup d'état of 1944, the newspaper was elevated to become the ruling party's main mouthpiece and propaganda tool. It was closed following the fall of the People's Republic of Bulgaria
and the dissolution of the Bulgarian Communist Party in 1990.
