Saddam Era Iraqi Military In ? Bulgaria

[Eric K.]

The title might be a bit miss leading, I "found" this in Iraq with a bunch of pictures inside with Iraqi Army soldiers standing by Statues/monuments of Lenin, some are in the snow so i assume it's in Russia???? anyway back to the box.

Could anyone tell me what is said under the soldier??

Here's a closer view, I would appreciate any help

Eric,

It says "Bulgarian Soldier". Close, but not Russia

"B'lgarski Voin"

Let's see the photos and then will see whether to move it to where the snow was or the Iraq section.

Bulgarian soldier...wow I never would have thought that Thanks for the info, I just assumed that with all the lenin monuments in the background it was Russian, I appreciate the translation Marc.

I'll post the pics Tom.

I'm just going to post what I think are the Russian photo's but I'm sure this thread is going to be moved elsewhere.

Not sure if this is in Russia but I AM sure it's not Iraq!!!
