Born 1904 - Kilifarevo, Bulgaria, died May 28th 1925 - Belovo, Bulgaria.

Born in Kilifarevo, Bulgaria on 14th August 1904, the student-actress Mariola Sirakova belonged to a well-off family. She revolted from an early age against her social background and became an anarchist communist when she went to the Girls High School at Tarnovo in 1919.

She regularly took part in secret anarchist meetings.

She began a relationship with another Bulgarian anarchist, Gueorgui Cheitanov. She associated with other important anarchists like Petar Maznev, Georgi Simeonov Popov, and others. In her frre time, she acted in the Orpheus Theatre Company in Kilifarevo. In 1922-23 she studied in Pleven. She often hid wanted anarchists like Vassil Popov and Valko Shankov

In 1923 a military coup led to the butchery of 35,000 workers and peasants. The armed resistance that followed ended with the bomb attack by the Communist Party on Sofia cathedral which was aimed at the country’s elite. A massive campaign of repression was then unleashed by the fascists and military against the revolutionary movement.

Mariola was arrested by the police, and brutally beaten. In June 1924 she returned to Kilifarevo. She was arrested again, but soon released. She gave support to the Kilifarevo cheta (armed guerilla unit), bringing them food, medicine and clothes and caring for the wounded.

Special police detachments were set up to hunt Cheitanov down. All the guerrillas united into a single detachment, being forced to disperse towards the end of May. Cheitanov and Mariola Sirakova, were caught in an ambush and arrested. They were taken to Belovo railway station and shot with 12 other prisoners on May 28th June 1925.

    it seems like a bunch of a lotta work for not of a lotta pay but like should I avoid learning and doing more things just to have the easier job??

    do you want to end up as a Chef? If not don’t start. If you don’t know what you want to do figure that out.

    If you want to spend your life in a kitchen it sounds like you have been offered 2 good options. I’d Imagine the French restaurant would be more prestigious which could lead to further opportunities in the future.

      do you want to end up as a Chef?

      No because i wanna cook food and not do food management. But i do want the title of chef

      I’d Imagine the French restaurant would be more prestigious which could lead to further opportunities in the future

      It would teach me better cooking definitely. The place I’m at currently would teach me how to better deal with feeding a shitload of people but the food isn’t the best because it’s dining hall stuff. Gotta tone it down for the muggles

      But it’s also $7 of gas per trip to the French place lol and less pay and my friend indicates they want me to be doing food stuff but it sounds more like a i’ll be doing whatever needs done sorta job including weird shit like in the garden. I did dishes there two nights and doing dishes kinda sucks

      The third option is I could do the pizza at my current job for a brainless way to pay rent and work at the French restaurant whenever i can, which will be whenever school shuts down

        Can you have both? Like if you leave the cafeteria job will they hire you back in 3 months if the franchise restaurant sucks?

        Maybe ask around and see if that’s an option because of you want the chef title, but like the cafeteria job maybe they’ll allow you to leave for a bit while you learn?
