On my first day at my first Bulgarian school, I was trying to clear my classroom of teenage debris when the cleaner entered and shooed me away, panicking I would put her out of a job. This fear is most prominent in the older generation so I can guess where it comes from (although it’s much too easy to attribute every character trait to living under Communism) and people will even stop others voicing opinions in case of collateral damage. The attitude is to show total deference to authority, complain in secret, then find creative ways to adapt to problems.
