2016: Alexander Nakov: The Dossier of Subject No1218: A Bulgarian Anarchist’s Story, Black Cat Press [0]


  • Memoir of a Bulgarian anarchist named Alexander Nakov. This memoir was originally published in Bulgaria, in the Bulgarian language, in 2006. 
  • Nakov was a lifelong anarchist but he wasn’t a career anarchist the way figures like Emma Goldman were, whose every action seemed to serve her causes in some way. Therefore Nakov’s story is often one of facing persuction and social exclusion, denial of employment, etc, due to his political views. 
  • Was imprisoned for a time, but speaks of a ‘genocide’ of the anarchist movement in Bulgaria. 
  • Speaks of the persecution of anarchists in a Communist/Soviet context, rather than a capitalist/democratic one. 
  • Includes appendices of other writings by Nakov.
