WHy are you blaming the popultaion decline on communism? The population was gaining steadily under communism, the drop began after the country was no longer communist. The first years after the fall of communism were very hard for many people in Eastern Europe, many people lost their means of support. Some that did not die outright may have been weakened and died later. Also, that 16% drop in population may be why the economy perked up, the unemployed left.
Weren't there some ethnic conflicts with Bulgarian muslims? Maybe the muslims left?
