Most devastatingly, the film preaches the inevitability of the boomerang. Violence, in Andonov’s world, is not linear but circular. The shepherd’s revenge does not liberate him; it consumes him. He kills Ottoman officials, but he also kills the possibility of his daughter’s humanity. When she finally turns on him, she is not betraying him—she is completing his logic. He taught her that the world is a place of predators and prey; she simply learned the lesson better than he did. In the context of 1994, this is a terrifying prophecy. The Soviet Union collapsed partly due to its own internal violence—the weight of its repressive apparatus, the cynicism of its citizenry, the economic sabotage of its planned system. The new Russia, in the chaotic Yeltsin years, was already sowing the seeds of its own future traumas: the rise of oligarchs, the First Chechen War, the hollowing out of the social contract. The Goat Horn suggests that a nation founded on revenge against history will ultimately devour itself. The 1994 film The Goat Horn (Bulgarian: Koziyat
