Bulgarian diaspora

Bulgarian diaspora

Bulgarian diaspora is a term that encompasses the total Bulgarians population located outside of current-day Bulgaria.

The number of Bulgarians outside Bulgaria has sharply increased since 1991, following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Over one million Bulgarians have left the country, either permantly or as temporary workforce, leading to a marked decline in its population. Many took advantage of the US green card lottery system (people applied for tickets, they did not purchase them). Others went across the EU.
