About this audio guide
This guide to the Russian Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in Sofia starts with one small handwritten note left at its door in late September 2023, and the archbishop in the crypt it was addressed to. It follows a national security case that reached from Bulgaria's intelligence service to the Kremlin and the patriarchs of two churches. Stand facing the south door on Tsar Osvoboditel Boulevard as you listen.
