While Yugoslavia was pretty western-oriented, it was plagued by some other evils, such as extreme nationalism, which led to several wars during the 1990's.

Yeah, the Slavic people topic is a big one and there are many views involved. To make matters more complicated, there are also influences from the ancient Thracian and Proto-Bulgarian cultures, which got mixed with Slavic culture. It's a little mess that only makes nationalism worse...

Montana is symbolic of the Bulgarian northwest, which is considered to be the harshest, wildest and most "hardcore" part of the country. The people there are reputed to be very tough and a little crazy, also famous for their dirty jokes (the dirtiest in the whole region). Other symbolic cities for this region include Vratsa and Vidin. Montana people are usually considered to be rednecks... and I suppose it's the same with your state of Montana :P

You know, I have an old photo with some classmates and Boiko himself... I should dig it up sometime ;)
