Peskov called the "disgusting" punk-spring Pussy Riot

The press secretary of the Prime Minister Vladimir Putin Dmitry Peskov called the Punch of Pussy Riot in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior "a disgusting incident". As Peskov said in an interview with the Rain TV channel, Putin’s reaction to Pussy Riot was “negative”.

According to Peskov’s clips, Putin is known about the very fact of the performance of the group in the temple, but not about the content of the text. "Honestly, nothing is known to us about the content of the song. We did not report to Putin about the content of the song. Naturally, we know about this disgusting incident," Peskov said.

“I don’t think that I have the right to express my personal opinion here. And it is probably about the complex intricacies of concepts: violation of the law and order, as well as the norms of religion, religion, insulting the feelings of believers, and so on. And here, of course, only the court can figure it out,” Peskov said. “But, frankly, from the point of view of the temple, this is about this action. With all the ensuing consequences. "

On Monday, the Tagansky court of Moscow authorized the arrest of two members of the Pussy Riot group Maria Alekhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova until April 24. They face up to 7 years in prison under an article on hooliganism. Both suspects have young children, both hold a hunger strike in the isolator. On March 8, the Central Internal Affairs Directorate at Petrovka will host a 12-hour series of single pickets in support of the arrested Pussy Riot participants.

The Klyuchar of the XXS Archpriest Mikhail Ryazantsev, the Foundation of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior and the Chop "Bell" were also recognized as victims. According to the official report, "the crime was expressed in a gross violation of public order for the motives, including religious hatred, perfectly a group of persons by prior conspiracy."

The head of the Synodal Department of the Russian Orthodox Church by the relationship of the Church and Society Vsevolod Chaplin called not to send Pussy Riot to the colony. According to Chaplin, the punishment should be tough, but at the same time it is necessary to show condescension to girls.

A group of Orthodox believers turned to the Patriarch with a request to "show a Christian attitude to the participants of the Pussy Riot group and petition the court to close this criminal case." "We also ask you to make an appeal to all members of the Orthodox Church and give an example of a Christian reaction to the event that the event that has stopped the hatred and anger that the parishioners of the Orthodox Church during the days of the Great Lent are brought down on the heads of four girls," the open letter compiled by the well -known charitable Lida Moniava.

The Pussy Riot group previously explained the meaning of the action in the XXS in its blog: "Once peaceful hundred thousandth demonstrations do not give an immediate result, we will ask the Virgin to drive Putin as soon as possible before Easter." In January, the group arranged a spontaneous concert in the frontal place of Red Square with the song "Putin Zassal". The girls were detained by the FSO officers, later two participants in the action were fined 500 rubles.
