"Yabloko" stood up for the arrested Pussy Riot participants, and the Orthodox women disowned them
The regional council of the Moscow branch of the Yabloko party requires the liberation of the Pussy Riot group, who received a new portion of scandalous fame after the action in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior.
"We condemn the hooligan action that hit the feelings of a part of believers. We believe that the offense made by Pussy Riot is not the basis for detention," the apple -played statement of the Moscow " Interfax -religion" portal said today.
According to the Yablochikov, what is happening "once again demonstrates that today it is hardly possible to talk about any deep liberalization of our law enforcement system."
The party does not exclude that such strict measures against girls, two of whom are mothers of young children, are "revenge on the authoritarian state and its individual representatives using legal mechanisms as a tool for repression for personal motives."
The "apple" called on law enforcement agencies and the court to strictly follow the principles of a humane attitude towards a person and a citizen, as well as the constitutional principle of separation of the church from the state.
And in the Union of Orthodox women, the participants in the punk group called the shame of the fair sex and criticized feminism.
"The recent trick of the so-called punk group, which considers itself feministic, plunged the majority of Russian citizens into shock. The blasphemous act offended not only the feelings of believers, but also the feat of our ancestors who fell on the battlefields of the Patriotic War of 1812," the union said in the interfax-religion portal today.
The authors of the document consider the “punk-graben” Pussy Riot in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior “an extremist crime that humiliates millions of believers of women,” and demand that “be given a corresponding legal assessment of this action”.
Orthodox women also admitted that with deep sorrow they are watching the performances and agitation of feminists.
“Allegedly for women’s rights, these people deliberately distort and disgrace the image of a woman in modern society, relying on the support of some media,” the statement said.
According to the organization, feminist speeches form the image of "new femininity", which scares with its wildness and corruption. "
"Is the main purpose of women is the causing boorish behavior, satisfaction of low passions, the desire to enrich? After all, if this is so, then this is a shame for all women. What example will we leave our descendants? What families will they create?" - The document says.
Its authors are also concerned about how actively support the feminist organizations "The idea of conducting safe abortions, LGBT communities, and sterilization".
Meanwhile, the head of the department of the Moscow Patriarchate on the relationship between the Church and the Company Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin today met with the lawyers of the participants in the punk group.
“A meeting was held with lawyers arrested in this case - Mr. Polozov and Feigin. I was handed over a letter of Nadezhda Tolokonnikova with a wish for a personal meeting,” Vsevolod Chaplin told the Interfax -religion portal.
As the interlocutor of the portal noted, he, as a priest, is ready for such a conversation, but a pre-trial detention center, which contains N. Tolokonnikov, fursts the clergy of the Nikolo-Pereerinsky monastery.
"If the diocesan authorities of Moscow consider that in this special case I can help this clergy in the performance of his duties, I will be happy to do it," the priest said.
Earlier, he told the agency that the priest could and is called to come to any person who would ask him for a conversation, and if such a meeting is possible in the pre -trial detention center, then it may well take place.
According to the representative of the church, any person should listen to, but at the same time, of course, the priest will not be able to call sin and not to call for repentance: it is the repentance of God and the Church that are now expected "from all participants in the blasphemous action, and especially from its organizers and those who justify it today."
Three members of the group - Maria Alekhina, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Ekaterina Santsevich were arrested until April 24, 2012.
