Your answer is only part of the truth. Though Russia had lots of welwishers in Bulgaria, the heavy indoctrination happened during the communist rule 1945-1989. Many people whose best years were during this period are still alive and many are disappointed by the failures of the post 1989 governments. The topic is complex and filled in with lots of propaganda, so I won't get into disputes, just giving additional context.

Agreed 100%. You'll find that sentiments towards Russia vary greatly depending on how old people are. Pro-Russia attitudes are aging out. I'm OK with that.

Now we've got a generation of youth coming to power who get their world view from social media and thus see reality objectively.

"view from social media and thus see reality objectively."

It all seemed fair until this fragment. Nothing about social media is objectively true. The advantage of social media (hopefully) is that's you're exposed to people from a variety of cultures so that you can choose who's subjective truths to believe in. It's better than powerful single voices influencing the ignorant using mass media though.

That's a terrifying idea tbh.

Maybe not clear from my comment, but I'd say that many of the new generations are also disappointed by the post-communist governments, so you can't blame it all on the retirees.
