The piece discusses repeated treason and spying accusations in Hungary and Bulgaria, with official confessions amid farce-like trials. It argues these actions violate treaty terms protecting religious freedom and free speech, and predicts ongoing purges while Moscow resists accountability. It notes the UN is unlikely to resolve the East West tensions and highlights the fragile tolerance for revived religions under controlled conditions.
