 * @Yogisenact: Pinging you to alert you to this discussion, since you did the move back in November, citing the official transliteration of Bulgarian. —C.Fred (talk) 01:46, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

By the way, the reason mentioned by Yogisenact - "citing the official transliteration of Bulgarian" is most likely for mainly ethnic Bulgarians and their names, and people with foreign descent like in his case, he is a member of a Middle Eastern minority and is entitled to have his name spelled the way he wants.

 * Maxim Behar has sent a photo of his identity card to OTRS ticket:2015092710010751, where it is clearly spelled "Maxim". He clearly agrees with the Bulgarian government and spells it "Maxim". Storkk (talk) 15:25, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

Controversy

 * Moving the following section, because it is not quite clear what the controversy is: the documents released show that he is listed as allegedly having connections with the state security, but when you compare them to the ones, released on the same date, for other people, they are listed as writing reports, providing oral information, etc., and there's nothing written from Behar.Veni Markovski &#124; Вени Марковски (talk) 18:34, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

Original text:

In 2012, in a number of public appearances, Maxim Behar had to strongly deny and dispute allegations that he had connection to the former Bulgarian Committee for State Security. Behar stated that he never had "any relations with any of the state security services", he has "never been part of the state security services", and that he had relatives in Israel, and the police has questioned him several times if he has had relations with them, which he "sadly, was not allowed to do". The published document shows that there's no written or oral statements by Behar himself, which could serve as evidence that he indeed was affiliated with, or worked for the state security.
