Protest Against The Closing Of The Church Of St.Nicholas Mirlikiyski In Sofia
Citizens in front of the Church of St.Nicholas Mirlikiyski in Sofia, also known as the Russian Church in Sofia, Bulgaria on September 24, 2023, demand that the church be opened. It was closed after Bulgarian authorities expelled the head of the Russian Orthodox Church in Sofia, Archimandrite Vasian, and two Belarusian priests and accused them of serving Russia's geopolitical interests.
