Kristiyan Shkvarek

Kristiyan Shkvarek is a prominent figure associated with the Union of Orthodox Journalists (СПЖ), an organization established after 2014 to counter the Ukrainian Orthodox Church's independence from the Moscow Patriarchate. In a recent news article, he defended the organization's initiatives in Bulgaria, asserting that their goal is to offer children choices rather than promoting any Russian political agenda. Despite his claims, the СПЖ is known for its ties to the Kremlin and for disseminating a mix of religious messaging and political propaganda aimed at influencing Eastern European societies.
