carry out the necessary extensive repair work, at an estimated cost of 30 million leva (£12million), nor to pull them down.</p> <p>Thieves have stripped much of the roof panelling away from the building, which opened in 1981, leaving it vulnerable to the elements. A wall mosaic of Bulgaria’s communist dictator Todor Zhivkov has been destroyed, while others of communist heroes Marx, Engels and Lenin remain just about recognisable.</p> <p>In a sign that many of the local population have no interest in such buildings, Prime Minister Boyko Borisov transfered ownership of the structure to the BSP Socialist party in November. He said: ‘Let them take care of it if they’re so proud of it.’</p> <p>The BSP Socialists have managed to secure the entrances to prevent would-be trespassers from
