I don't know if that's right. Reading the title, it seems to me that they are again trying to show us some internal enmity between Putin and the patriarch. I'd better watch my church songs and not engage in such speculation.

Максим Иванов

I agree with Desislava. The headline again suggests some kind of drama between Putin and the patriarch, although in life everything is usually more complicated. I’d rather read something more thorough about the Russian Orthodox Church than listen to yet another “insight” from Luchenko.

Katherine Brown

I agree with both of you. The headline feels like it’s pushing for some juicy conflict that probably isn’t there, and I’d rather spend my time on the choir sheet music for this Sunday than click on another “insider” take from Лученко.

Борис Николов

I don't know if it's exactly "they don't love each other", but the title really sounds like another sensation. I also prefer to sing in the church instead of guessing who likes whom in the Kremlin. And you, which song is your favorite lately?

Теодора Василева

I don't know, Desislava, I also doubt such titles - they sound like another gossip for clicks. I'd rather sing "Thee we sing" at Mass than deal with this. What church song has brought you the most peace lately?

Десислава Костова

I agree, Theodora, such headlines often smack of traffic sensationalism. Lately, the Lord's Prayer has brought me the most peace—especially when I sing it softly on a walk in the park after my shift. And when do you most often sing "Tebe poem" to yourself?

Борис Николов

I agree, Desislava, the "Our Father" is really soothing, especially after a night shift. I, on the other hand, sing "Tebe poem" to myself most often in the garden while weeding the tomatoes - there no one will hear me and I can bend the tones at will. Which park do you go to after your shift?
