Military ranks of the Bulgarian People's Army

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Military ranks of the Bulgarian People's Army were the military insignia used by the Bulgarian People's Army. Being a Marxist–Leninist one–party socialist republic, and a country that was traditionally close to the Soviet Union, the Bulgaria People's Army shared a similar design of insignia to those of the Soviet Union.[1]
