Naturally, not about himself Vasil Levski, and for the ... plant named after him! In Cuba built Bulgarian plant, named after the Apostle, and later there is a monument of Levski. Two days ago I was contacted by a man ... A man whose dream is to tell how he built this monument - how the idea was born, how they procure the materials, how many sleepless nights spent our compatriots from the factory "Vasil Levski "to convert their idea of a monument to the Apostle, a reality.

From balgari.Kogato already predaden the Cuban side to manage kinggames and control suddenly Emil said that perhaps the day will come when the plant can not be said Vasil Levski and we all became tazhno.Togava the idea to have something to stay connected with the name of the Apostle. We thought that the simplest thing is to have a bust of Levski in the factory and wrote a letter to Lyudmila Jivkova asking you to send us one from Bulgaria. Time passed, and we had already done the first sod of the hill in the middle of the factory yard. A very engaging, because we were sure that happens. A small ceremony with representatives of the local press, with photos and much excitement, turned the first sod with Cuban Director - Mario Gonzalez Sanchez. kinggames We developed a project of the pedestal and the monument itself ... started building. I asked all the wives and children of the Bulgarians in Cienfuegos kinggames to work for izgrazhdanito the monument. They were wonderful!
