Bulgaria Analytica: A Major Reshuffle in the Orthodox World

The “great schism” did not occur. The ROC Holy Synod came out with a minimized decision, leaving it enough space to go back. On the other hand, in the electronic media in Russia, prominent Russian intellectuals and dissidents have stood openly by the Ukrainians. The only unrelenting attitude has come from journalists, politicians and public figures associated with the regime. Over the last few days, the official statements of the state representatives of the Russian Federation no longer speak about the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate, but of the Russian Orthodox Church in Ukraine. This puts the discussion on a new footing.
