Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes some long-term effects from the first wave of the mass privatization in Bulgaria. The analysis is based on results of national representative survey made in 2019, regarding the attitudes towards the results of the mass privatization. The main hypothesis of the analysis is that the majority of people who are contemporary of the privatization process does not evaluate the results of the mass privatization in Bulgaria as positive: not in regard to the participation of the citizens, nor regarding the state as a whole. The attitude of people who were not contemporary is mostly neutral. In the paper is also made a brief resume o f the mass privatization in the country based on public data of the Agency for Privatization.
