The ninth of September, 1944
The Premier of the newly-formed government of the Fatherland Front, Kimon Georgiev, declared the establishment of people's democratic power. This marked the First Day of the socialist revolution in Bulgaria, foreshadowed by the mass anti-fascist struggle of the preceding period. The uprising caused the downfall of a rule which defended the interests of part of the non-fascist upper middle class, middle class and petty bourgeoisie, striving to preserve the capitalist supremacy in the country with the aid of the Western powers.
Thus the first step towards resolving the basic contradiction between the working class and the bourgeoisie had been taken. Though the people's democracy revived some of the principles of bourgeois democracy, it was not just the antipode of the faseist dictatorship. Rather, it was a higher stage in comparison to bourgeois democracy, for it provided peaceful means for carrying out the thorough reconstruction of the society and its transition to a new socio-economic formation. This was gradually realized under the leadership of the Bulgarian Communist Party after the victory of the uprising of September 9. In view of that, the established people's democratic rule represented a union of the broad people's masses and parties in their efforts to pave the way for building socialism in Bulgaria.
