Priest, Shpan and agitation on clothes

At the Khamovniki court. Pussy Riot sentence.
Photo report by Diana Machulina.

A priest who broadcast on cameras that Pussy Riot should be given to the Cossacks so that they are fastened with hazing. A journalist with a sticker on the sleeve "Separate the Church from the state" asked: "And what should I do with me?" The priest, looking at her yellow leggings, said that she had to tear her head off at all. He refused to name his name and name of the church.

Leonid Parfenov came

A group of young people and girls materialized on the lawn, who chanted “burn witches at the stake”, “Babi Riot will not pass”. Shpan screamed for a long time, then the police scolded them and asked to hide the posters - they did not require a fine under the new law.

Several citizens held single pickets.

Among those who came to the court, there were many girls in balaclavs, some brought balloons with painted eyes and mouth.

A lot of public with children. In a sense, this answer to some sane citizens who reproach Pussy Riot participants that they did not think about their kids when they made their action. Maybe they just thought about them, did not want the children to live in a state in which we live now. And these people with babies at rallies and pickets expect that the state will provide them with safety and freedom of assembly.

This non -ostal conversation on the lawn at the court resembles European religious painting - preaching with students. Is it worth doubt that the Pussy Riot action is an art. In addition, the action gave rise to a new fashion and a whole wave of folk creativity.

On a white T -shirt is the same picture with the Virgin in Balaklava, which the Novosibirsk artist Artem Loskutov “accidentally” saw on the advertising shields of his city, photographed and posted on the network. The court found the artist guilty of violating the legislation on freedom of religion and religious associations, and awarded him a fine of 1000 rubles. Despite the fact that the artist claimed that he could not draw so well and "images were miraculously acquired, without the participation of human hands."

The young man on the T -shirt has a “victorious” in Balaclava, a snake with Putin's face. The churches should not be offended by the fact that religious images are so often subjected to creative changes. So you can only work with an absolutely recognizable symbol that is firmly recorded in memory - that is, these constant appeals to the icons confirm their significance for people. Moreover, in this and similar cases they are not addressed with the desire to offend, but attract them as the embodiment of justice.

The Pussy Riot who came to support very different ages and professions. This court really unites people.

“Coalition for morality” - four “opposite” in black dresses cut on strings. The lady "Pustossi" nearby said: "How nice that they play so badly!"

One of the arrests. Since everyone who came in chorus shout “Pussy Riot!” Freedom, the police consider everyone guilty of violation of order. Periodically pushes the section of the metal fence and leads to the auto-zak of one of the arrivals.

Akunin came.

It would also be worth reading the article by Andrei Levkin Tymoshenko - Prolete Pussiraot and the recording of Frida Vigdorova " The trial of Joseph Brodsky"
