Prison for repost
The prosecutor asked Maxim Kormelitsky for two and a half years. Judge Tatyana Vasyukhnevich gave a year and three months a colony-settlement. The meeting of the Berdsky City Court of the Novosibirsk Region lasted an hour and a half, and during this time the following was revealed.
The defendant Maxim Kormelitsky posted a photograph on his page on the VKontakte social network, which depicted winter baptismal bathing. The court considered the signature to this photo offensive to those who are depicted in the photo.
As the defendant Kormelitsky explained, he "appreciated the mental state of people who sacrifice their health for the sake of religion." In addition, Kormelitsky told the court that he did not come up with this picture, and he did not take the photo. He copied her from another message, where this picture enjoyed great success and collected many likes and reposts. This photo also seemed funny to him, and he decided to place it on his page.
The opinion of the prosecutor: "Kormelitsky insulted believers, as he is an atheist and is hatred of people who profess Christianity." Note that at the prosecutor’s prosecution, atheism sounds like indirect evidence. As some significant circumstance that forms the corpus delicti. That is, they have not yet been judged for atheism, but it has already become a circumstance aggravating guilt.
In the personality of the defendant Kormelitsky there are still some features that allowed the prosecutor to consider his personality socially dangerous and demand for two and a half years to protect society from this personality. The fact is that the plaintiffs - the Novosibirsk Orthodox activists, the chairman of the Novosibirsk branch of the People’s Cathedral movement Yuri Zadoy and his supporters - filed a complaint when they learned that Kormelitsky was a Parnas party. Now, however, he has been corrected and no longer consisted, but the court did not take this into account.
Recently, many, if not most of the articles, have somehow evaporated from the Constitution of the Russian Federation. Including article 14 about the separation of the church from the state and the equality of all faiths, as well as Article 28 on freedom of conscience. The one where it is said about the right of citizens to freely profess any religion or not confess any. That is, to be an atheist.
“Atheists are sick. These are animals. They must be treated. ” These words belong to Yuri Pavlovich Vyazemsky, head of the Department of World Literature and Culture of MGIMO. This is not some kind of kid from the Novosibirsk region who giggles over believers on his diary page having a meager audience. About the fact that atheists sick animals that need to be treated, Yuri Pavlovich said on TV a millionth audience. And you know, nothing. Continues to teach, manage and speak on TV.
I believe that Yuri Pavlovich Vyazemsky has the full right to consider atheists sick animals and express this opinion publicly. Just like Maxim Kormelitsky has every right to write anything about Christians in his blog. In addition to calls to destroy them and to repair all violence in relation to them. What he seemed to have not done. By the way, Professor Vyazemsky, whose right to say any nasty things to the atheists, I am ready to defend, in his statement was much closer to extremism than Kormelitsky. Since the requirement to “treat atheists” clearly provides for violent treatment, and this is a very obvious call for violence against the personality, that is, direct extremism.
I really do not like a lot in the 1993 sample of the Russian Federation. But now, apparently, the time has come to go on the streets with posters of Soviet dissidents: “Observe your constitution!” In the Museum named after A.D. Sakharov they are probably preserved.
