They are concentrated within a limited geographic region and in terms of statistics they are considerably more than any other area of Bulgaria. Taking this into consideration and knowing that some fifty years ago the only ... |

Затова пък смехът и забавлението от текстовете му се повтарят вече близо 150 години. Не е зле, нали? ... |
