Rogozin: Madonna - Former Flood

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin called the pop star Madonna "former whore, who seeks to give lectures on morality." He wrote about this on his Twitter. "Each ex -b. With age seeks to give all lectures on morality. Especially during foreign tour and tours," Rogozin wrote. In another entry, Rogozin states that he has "only two higher values: God in heaven and Russia on earth." Most of the records of the last days made by Rogozin on Twitter are somehow devoted to the Pussy Riot.

On Tuesday, Madonna at a concert at the Olympic came in support of the Pussy Riot punk group participants. "I want to say about freedom. People from all over the world are on stage. We are all family. We are natural and we are people. And we are the most important person. I am lucky, I am from America, we can express yourself to the artist and just a person, even if people do not agree, even if the government is not in accordance with me. This is democracy. And I want to say a few words about PUSSY RIOT. The government, but these three girls - Masha, Katya and Nadia - have already paid for what was done, and I pray for their freedom.

After that, the singer undressed to the underwear, put on the head of the same mask in which the participants of the punk group performed, and performed the song Like a Virgin. Then she turned to the hall with her back and demonstrated to everyone the inscription "Pussy Riot" on her back.

Earlier, Madonna called on President Putin to free Pussy Riot participants. “I would like them to be justified,” Madonna said in an interview with Kommersant. “Vladimir Putin must forgive them as artists, as women, as mothers. They need to be released. The artist is always right when he expresses himself. And criticism needs to be reacted as a strong person should react to her.”

In an interview with the Associated Press, Madonna expressed hope for a quick liberation of Pussy Riot participants. “I believe in freedom of speech, and I am against censorship,” Madonna said in Moscow. “I hope that the judge will show condescension to them and the girls will soon be released.”

Pussy Riot defended many world celebrities, including musicians from Faith No More, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Who, Pet Shop Boys, as well as Sting, Peter Gabriel, Patti Smith and others.

On Monday, the ex-Frontain Sex Pistols John Lidon, also known as Johnny Rotten, devoted to Pussy Riot his performance at the punk festival in Blackpool. According to his Facebook page, producer Alexander Cheparukhin, Lidon and his Public Image Limited team dedicated their entire Pussy Riot concert and dedicated them a Religion song, before which John made a flame speech. "

The current tour of the Madonna in Russia, as in 2006, caused protests of the patriotic public. The developer of the St. Petersburg Law on the prohibition of propaganda of homosexuality Vitaly Milonov warned the organizers of the Madonna concert in case of "indecent behavior" of the singer. “I heard that at the concerts of this tour, she pulled off her reituses - we do not need this here (in St. Petersburg. - Ed.),” Said Milonov.

Madonna called the Petersburg law "ridiculous atrocities." “I will come to St. Petersburg to speak for the gay community to support the gay community and to give strength and vigor to everyone who experiences or feels oppression,” Madonna wrote on her Facebook page.

Gay activists called on the singer to cancel concerts in St. Petersburg and Moscow. They are going to picket concert halls in order to draw attention to the "problem of hypocrisy of Western stars for the sake of space earnings in Russia and also legislative lawlessness in Russia, which instructs LGBT discrimination."
