If the girls who acted in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior will be punished by the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation for hooliganism-this will be, firstly, by a violation of Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, and secondly, the terrible self-destruction of Orthodox Christianity.

There was no hooliganism in the cathedral. Neither small (punished according to the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation), nor large (punished according to the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). Hooliganism is to go to church and give a shit there. Or specially launch a dog into the church. Or have sex with a girlfriend there. Or scratch the word "x*y" on the icon. But to sing in the temple by the Napanonical song of opposition content is, excuse me, not hooliganism, but criticism of high -ranking representatives of the secular and church authorities.

I agree that this criticism was expressed in a form insulting the religious feelings of citizens. That is, there was a small administrative misconduct provided by Part 2 of Article 5.25 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation. The maximum punishment for such an act is 1000 rubles. As a secular public figure, I think that this is too little (although in the case under consideration a fine of 1000 rubles, in my opinion, it would be quite enough). But this is today the will of lawmakers. All claims to them.

The above is the opinion of a secular public figure who, on the duty of his work, should look for a compromise (in the spirit of the values ​​of a democratic society) resolution of social conflicts. As an Orthodox Christian, I believe that the extravagant (on the holy fools they do not pull) the girls should be scolded ("limit themselves to oral remark") and release with the world on all four sides. That is, apply Article 2.9 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. I think so, because Orthodoxy is the religion of the New Testament, which differs from the Old Testament in that it calls to mercy even those who objectively do not deserve any mercy. All the Lenins, the Evsyukovs and Chikatil there.
