As you can see, most are built and maintained with Russian money. If it wouldn't be for Russians Orthodoxy would've been eroded from the Balkans and Middle East. I live in Bulgaria and most newer churches were built by Russians. The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral was the biggest Orthodox Cathedral in the world until the year 2000, and how do the Bulgarians thank Russians? They spit on the tiny Russian parish, banish the arch-priest back to Russia to show their treacherous solidarity to Ukraine. They cannot even maintain the cathedral, as they cannot maintain most church buildings in the capital.
You forgot to mention that there is also a huge populous of Palestinian Catholics, outside of that it is a great article. Especially the icon of the Jew at the well attacking St. Philoumenos.
