At 75, Bulgaria's 'Hornet' Newspaper Keeps Stinging Opponents With Satire

Starshel, whose name means "The Hornet," is Bulgaria's oldest satirical publication. In its early days under communist rule, it poked fun at capitalism and American imperialism, but it also sometimes took on the country's own leadership. Now, having survived multiple eras to mark its 75th birthday, the weekly has editorial independence and recognition as a national treasure.
