In 1944, after the Soviet Union had declared war on Bulgaria, the OF carried out a coup d'état (9 September 1944) and declared war on Germany and the other Axis powers. The OF government, ...

The group avowedly preached its own idea of 'social nationalism' which for Tsankov involved support of a national workers' syndicate against class struggle.Philip Rees, 'TSANKOV, Aleksandur', ''Biographical Dictionary of the Extreme Right Since 1890'', p. 394 The party itself failed to find much favour (despite being popular with many urban youth),Richard J. Crampton, ''A Concise History of Bulgaria'', p. 162 although its formation helped to speed up the collapse of the coalition government.
