Samodurov’s guilt, according to the court, is that he placed an exhibition in the center that was “offensive to people’s religious feelings.” Vasilovskaya helped select exhibits. The court found them guilty under Article 282 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (incitement of religious hatred), excluding the clause concerning “incitement of hatred.” The canvases, despite the prosecutor's demand to destroy them, will be returned to the artists. The defense of the accused is going to appeal the verdict within the prescribed 10 days.
