 These were years when most Bulgarians resigned and thought of the ecologists as "crazy" protesters. Radev reminds his readers that the first fighters for an independent Bulgaria were just as crazy. The ecologist's were the consciense of the nation and defended the idea that the citizens must defend their common interest, in case the institutions don't do it.
