What if at some point after the Bulgars of the Balkans accepted Orthodoxy, but before the Volga Bulgars accepted Islam in OTL, they instead converted to Orthodoxy as well?
The analog I'm thinking is that possibly newly converted Balkan Bulgar missionaries lead the way, and do some preaching and translations, in Volga Bulgaria. Somewhat how the Anglo-Saxon missionaries were important in Germany, especially Saxony.
Thoughts?
