Good. ¶ Text entirely in Bulgarian. This plenum of the Central Committee of the Communist Party resulted in the replacement of Todor Zhikov with Petre Mladenov, a move which unleashed massive demonstrations beginning 18 November 1989 against the Communist regime. Issued as a supplement to the Bulgarian Communist Party daily newspaper 'Rabotnichesko Delo' No. 329, 25 November 1989. ["...In November 1989, demonstrations on ecological issues were staged in Sofia, and these soon broadened into a general campaign for political reform. Part of the Bulgarian Communist Party leadership, realizing the need for urgent change, reacted promptly by deposing the decrepit Zhivkov and replacing him with foreign minister Petar Mladenov, on November 10, 1989. This swift move, however, gained a short respite for the Communist Party and prevented revolutionary change. In February 1990 the Communist Party voluntarily gave up its absolute hold on power and, in June 1990, the first free elections since 1946 were held, thus paving Bulgaria's way to multiparty democracy" - wikipedia]
