Abstract
I visited Bulgaria in autumn 1990 and in September to October 1992 and interviewed a number of people, some of whom would prefer to remain anonymous, about the schism. Often their views and information about specific participants were contradictory. As yet, members of the Holy Synod have been unwilling to admit what compromises they made or were forced to make between 1944 and 1989. When and if Synodical and Interior Ministry documentation is made available it may be possible to get more inside information, but it will probably never be possible to recover the full truth. I would like to thank Spas Raikin, formerly Professor of East Stroudsburg University, for his invaluable help: especially useful was his analysis of the canonical background of the schism in his Open Letter to President Zhe!yu Zhelev, 6 August 1992.
