I think I have the right to speak harshly. Because he was the only employee of the Russian Orthodox Church who was not afraid to become an expert for the defense in the Pussy Riot case, to come to the hamsud, and was ready at any second to speak out in defense of the girls. It didn't work out. They didn't give a word. Gave out many interviews. He said what he would like to say to Judge Syrova. In every possible way I condemned and condemn the “Orthodox Taliban”, “banner-wearing fanaticism”, “hatred of the law” and “holy Russian combat” with tearing off T-shirts and violence.
I partially understand that the Yoko Ono Prize is an attempt to help protect girls. But I absolutely cannot understand: why is another provocation needed at the winery? Why display pseudo-icons of girls from a feminist group? Why this "conceptual dirty Trinity"? After all, they understood what the reaction would be. They understood... After all, they deliberately agreed to this idiocy.
Gentlemen, conceptualists, activists and other “ists”, you must be aware that by organizing such “exhibitions”, you are turning away from the civil protest movement those few sensible Orthodox Christians who were on the side of Pussy Riot, who asked to let them go, to forgive, who denounced the hamjudgment.
You are provocateurs. Small and mean. You discredit the entire protest movement in Russia, in which there are many Orthodox people like me. Why are you grist for the mill of the Kremlin propaganda machine? On purpose or out of ignorance? Stop before it’s too late... Gentlemen, “free artists”, you are doing more harm today than the Nashists and Eurasians combined.
