[1] Arguably the most provocative Bulgarian female singer of the 1980s, Slavova was known for breaking musical norms and was labeled as an outsider by the country's totalitarian rulers at the time, thereby earning the admiration of the rebellious youth.

[2] Slavova began singing in 1985 and by 1986 had founded her own band, called Milena, which later changed its name to Review.

In later years, she hosted a television show called Рок с Милена (Rock with Milena) on BNT2.

During the process, Slavova has enjoyed the support of extreme right-wing groups in Bulgaria.

These developments are in stark contrast with her earlier image, when she herself was marginalised by the totalitarian Communist government in the 1980s.
