David HallBulgaria stepping in to keep Patriarch Kirill off that list feels like a small bit of common sense in all this. The man’s a church leader, not some oligarch running oil like Alekperov. Glad they drew the line there.

Nicholas ParkerBulgaria did the right thing keeping Patriarch Kirill off the list. He's a church leader, not an oil boss like Alekperov. Good they drew that line.
