Despite its relative proximity, Bulgaria is a considerable stranger to Slovenians. In Sofia, which is considered the center of cultural, political and economic life, we still know something, but then our knowledge of this south-eastern European country ends or we have a lot of gaps in our knowledge. You've probably never imagined it as a dream destination, but after seeing these photos, you'll add it high on your wish list.

Therefore, these photos raise even more questions and are even more mysterious. Here are 10 mysterious historical photos that cannot be explained.
Photographer Alexander Petrosyan has spent years and years discovering and documenting the endless layers of St. Petersburg, Russia.

In these photos from 1984, the computer visionary was wearing a Seiko wristwatch, which became a global bestseller in these photos taken for Time magazine.

Have you ever met a butcher? What about a construction worker? Ideas about gender roles are still quite traditional and stereotypical. The classic division of labor is still rooted in our minds. The environment expects women and men to behave in a specific way and perform specific tasks. One of the most persistent notions is certainly that women are better suited for housework and men are better leaders because women are too emotional to make serious business decisions. It is also true that girls do not play with toy cars and boys do not play with Barbies. Photographer Chris Crisman tackled this very 'problem' in his project Women's Work, and his portraits show women in non-traditional roles.
