Deported Russian Propagandist Exposes Church Power Struggle in Balkans
Original: Deportation of Russian Propagandist Reveals Battle Over Church Influence in the Balkans
The deportation of a Russian propagandist has highlighted a broader contest over influence within Orthodox Church circles in the Balkans, according to analysis by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. The case points to Moscow's efforts to maintain religious and political leverage in the region, and the counter-efforts by Balkan governments and churches to limit Russian sway, drawing attention across southeastern Europe.
