We believe that the corruption is the cancer of our society, and we, the people, have to find the best therapy for this
social disease.
The goal of this website is to contribute to a humanistic society. We do publish and update information for corruption
and do delete texts in cases of which our social evaluation and activities have a positive result. If you disagree with

Media and corruption
Malcolm Moore (Daily Telegraph) (August 31st, 20007) (.pdf)
Meaningless and misleading article coming to cover the Director of the National Museum in Sofia, Dr Bozhidar
Dimitrov, who is the one involved in one of the biggest affairs in Bulgarian Archaeology - Dubene-Balinov Gorun (the
anonymous false story, with which the article starts) . The article was translated into Bulgarian and distributed through
journey.bg where one can be read the truth in our publications, the last one published on August 8 (journey.bg)
where the Dubene affair Dimitrov - Nikolov - Hristov was mentioned and the Bulgarian media criticized . The article
by Malcolm Moore has been following the traditions of 2005-2006 when Bozhidar Dimitrov involved the Bulgarian
media to distribute a non-truthful version of Dubene gold (see below). But because of the unpopularity of the topic in
Bulgaria media today, a new journalist showed up - Malcolm Moor from United Kingdom with absolutely non-
professional and misleading text. Shame on Daily Telegraph!
Ask Malcolm Moor about this article via e-mail:

You can send us your answer to be published including:
How did you choose the topic?

Why didn't you talk to the Director of the National Museum of History?
How can you prove all mentioned data about the treasure-hunters, illegal excavations and abroad channels?
What do you know about the Dubene-Balinov Gorun affair? Isn't it interesting to you as a journalist?
Why don't you write about the decades of the excavations of the most respectful Bulgarian archaeologists which are

Government and Culture
National Archaeological Institute with Museum, Sofia, Bulgaria.
On the 4th of April 207 Journey published our article about the discussion about the Gold Diploma of Vassil Nikolov,
the Director of the National Archaeological Institute with Museum. Instead responding to the article and answering
the questions in it, NAIM immediately issued on April 5th a picture of Vassil Nikolov next to the President.
Typical model of the corruption in Bulgaria - the social actors try to demonstrate close contacts with government or
political leaders .
Ministry of Culture, Bulgaria, the organizer of the exhibit of the Thracian treasures in Basel, Switzerland, March-July
2007. Many questions:
1. 360 or 640 objects were sent to Basel? The Ministry of Culture sent 340 objects while Basel reports that had
received 640 objects!
2. How does this exhibit relate to the Statement of Stefan Danailov in the Parliament? The Minister of culture
promised not all Thracian treasures will be sent abroad at once.
3. Why is the scientific head of the project a non-specialist in Thracian archaeology? Vassil Nikolov is a prehistorian.
4. Why is the scientific head of the project a extremely corrupted person, one of the architects of the Dubene-
Balinovgorun affair?
5. Why we have a workshop Trinken wie die Thraker?
How does the corruption work in Bulgaria
1. False or hidden information.
Ministry of culture published on its website info about 360 finds but after the topic became hot, obviously the
information was removed (visit of the home page on April 5th, 2007).
3. No answer. Still there is no answer from the Ministry of Culture.
3. Covering the discovered corruption with exciting information about success. After sending re-email regarding the
exhibit, instead explanation, the Ministry of Culture distributed a newsletter about the huge success of the exhibit in
Basel.
Education and corruption
India
Tutor Vista. 5 min after signing in for a tutor, I called to cancel the subscription since felt that something is totally
wrong with the offered one week free of charge service. However, a week later my account was charged and a receipt
was received via e-mail for an service that was never ordered. The company's representative talked on the phone
English which one cannot understand in some cases even at all. It occurs Tutor Vista works from India (even with
1800 number). After a series of phone calls and e-mails and especially after writing to the President of the company,
finally an e-mail was received about a coming refund.
We found info that "Tutor Vista, MakeMytrip and Cleartrip received their two rounds of funding earlier this month.
Tutor Vista, an online tutorial company, received $10.75 million from investment groups including Lightspeed
Ventures, Sequoia Capital India and Silicon Valley Bank" (http://www.podtech.net/home/Venture+Capital/feed).
Where do this money go if this company charged in this way?
The messages about Tutor Vista on Internet look more similar to all bulk and corrupted offers (type Work from home).
For instance:
Public service advertisement:
"Do you want to be a teacher without going to school? Here is a chance to stay at home in any part of the country,
teach, and get paid handsomely. Bangalore based Tutor Vista has introduced online tutoring for children in the US
and the UK. All that the tutor needs is a […] "
Does it look professional and serious?
We can also learn that the target of Tutor Vista are the American Children (http://accidentalblogger.typepad.
com/accidental_blogger/2006/08/hitler_and_home.html).
Why? Just because the American children have presumably rich parents, I believe.
There is even a blog about Hitler as a homework with a reference to Tutor Vista? Who gave a license to this
company? How do these children communicate the customer service if one can understand from the Indian English
probably one word in 20? And this an educational institution!
We read about the President that he works from home
(http://www.washingtontimes.com/business/20061231-110345-7666r.htm)
We received a letter with a offer for one month free services, but we did not respond since it started with a statement
that they tried to have reached us without success, which was not true.

What is common in archaeology corruption?
People with power involved
Official apathy
Money and highly valuable objects and sites involved
BULGARIA
Corruptions in 2004-2005: National Museum of History (Director Bozhidar Dimitrov) and Archaeological Institute with
Museum (Director Vassil Nikolov). The cemetery gold finds from Dubene, Karlovo (http://www.iianthropology.
org/Dubenegoldeba.html), without any reason were brought to Sofia instead in the Museum of History in Karlovo City
which is abt 7 km from the site.
And more: Vassil Nikolov lied on Guardian on Aug 17 2005 (http://www.iianthropology.org/Dubeneinthemedia.html)
that at Dubene was discovered a treasure which is older and bigger than Troy. However, next year strange practices
in the filed and new information even from Bozhidar Dimitrov showed that in fact in 2005 obviously we knew just a
little bit about the real Dubene-Balinov Gorun finds.
The Internet archive shows (see 6 Oct 2004, Focus) that in 2004 Vassil Nikolov had already felt a criminal when took
the gold mask from Kazanluk for the Archaeological Museum in Sofia. But not many knew that together with the mask
from Kazanluk, he had another corruptive project - taking the objects from Dubene to National Museum of History.
Against the Bulgarian law, he even announced in the media that would not let know the place of discovery.
Since April 2005 Archaeological Institute in Sofia has been warranted that the site of Dubene - Balinov Gorun has
been excavated by a non-professional without knowledge on the techniques of excavation of prehistoric cemeteries.
Under the protection of Vassil Nikolov, the archaeologists Martin Hristov continued in Summer 2005 to gather gold
objects caring them to a private house in Dubene and after that to Sofia National Museum while in 7 km was the City
Museum of Karlovo.
The first results of the publication are devastating. That archaeologist not only has no experience in archaeological
excavations and social moral in accordance with the today’s global thinking, but he even does not know the world
directions. In the first official publication of the Dubene gold finds – The catalogue of the exhibit of Bulgarian
treasures (Rome, February – March 2006) he insists that the village to which the cemetery belonged was in southeast
while it is in southwest direction.
In other words the Bulgarian archaeology corruption shows that it occurs among low-intelligent people, whose
attempt to compensate their intelligent deficit include breaking social moral norms and in fact attempting to destroy
the fundamentals of the archaeology as a humanistic and highly skilled profession in which the artifacts are records
but not a victims of professional treasure-hunters with government documents who collect finds for specific museums
and/or for unknown purposes

Why does he smile - despite the Balinov gorun

even by the President's website, while Basel received
in February 640 objects according to the website of
