I would call Bulgaria trashy
I was in Bulgaria few times in late 90-s on vacations (Brgas,Nesebr,Varna), and I can't say it was trashy. Very few differences from Russia, really. Yes, it is not Sweden or Germany, but not that bad.
Also never been to Russia
You lost nothing if you lived in Bulgaria.
Interesting fact - socialist Bulgaria and USSR banknotes and coins was nearly identical. In USSR was common to discover Bulgarian stotinki coins in change.

Other things was as similar as that coins. :)
Its just weird that there are so many world famous Russian profs yet Bulgarians from my parent's generation who would have studied among them during those study abroad terms are green card immigrants and work as janitors and truck drivers
There are a lot of Russian immigrants in US who are green card immigrants and work as janitors and truck drivers. Much more than professors.
bulgaria's general cultural personality which shows the effects of communism on diminishing one's ability to see his or her own potential and recognize opportunities.
Yes, this is a common problem for all eastern block and post-USSR itself. Socialism in soviet manner is a huge negative selection filter.
I just want to yell at them (BG) to get the British out and become actually sovereign before we totally disappear.
This is the case for Russia too. Nearly everything in Rusiian social and politic spheres is made using western templates. Coronavirus histeria is the latest proof. Modern world moving to global unification, and seem to have one single source of instructions for every country leader. So we will have less variety across countries very soon.
And that is why I feel(felt?) inferior.
You definitely should not.
Perhaps it can be said that Russia is the US's older brother in terms of cultural personality.
It could be, if there was no revolution and 70 years of what they called socialism. In alternate history without revolution in Russia, US and Russia could be very similar in all possible ways.
