7:31 This is a Bulgarian church The first Christian churches in Bulgaria were built in the 2nd century, when in Russia it was the Stone Age and cannibalism was popular. The alphabet, language and Christianity in "Great Russia" came from Bulgaria. "Greater Russia" speaks a Bulgarian dialect

Yeah true , Russia is Bulgaria 2.0 and the Russian language is a Bulgarian dialect.

@@cheerful_crop_circlenot a bulgarian dialect, the border between what dialects and languages are is a vague one anyways, even as linguists its debatable. but russian language today is very influenced by the church slavonic which was a russian redaction of the old bulgarian church slavonic language and it was used until Tsar Peter's times(so not long ago). Bulgarian and Russian do share a lot of vocabulary because of it

@@cheerful_crop_circleyes but those differences are in grammar and as u can see in my comment im talking about vocabulary. and how much bulgarian has changed is irrelevant because the language im refering to is old bulgarian from around 1000 years ago, not today's "changed" bulgarian.and as proof of this, many slavic languages to this day still have proto-bulgar words that come exactly from this contact from 1000 years ago, theres no other way they couldve entered those languages.

Sofia (Wisdom of Jesus Christ) is named after Jesus Christ, similar as the name of the Hagia Sophia church in Istanbul. The architecture style of St. Nedelya church is neo bizantinian + in Bulgaria we are Bulgarian Orthodox not Russian Orthodox (every orthodox church is independent). We do have a separate Russian Church in Sofia named after St. Nikolay though ;-) . I don't want to hate, just clarify some details 🙂 Wish you all the best, peace!

Neo-Byzantine style has nothing to do with the Ottomans. The biggest mosque in Istanbul is in fact the Christian church Hagia Sofia, built in the 4th century AD. The Ottomans conquered the city 1100 years later and converted it into a mosque. The name of the city of Sofia comes from the St. Sofia church built in the 4rth century (close to Alexander Nevski cathedral) not from the person St. Sofia, and definitely not from the statue, which was built only some 30 years ago. :)

Bulgaria become orthodox Christian country in 865 AD. Check a map of Europe from 865 AD, there is no Russia in sight . The closest thing that existed at that time was the Principality of Novgorod and the now Russian lands were mainly Finno-Ugric tribes at that period . The principality of Novgorod was first mentioned in 859 AD, so you can figure out that at 865 AD it was nothing more than a few villages around the small town of Novgorod.
