Culture figures and human rights activists supported the famous writer Lyudmila Petrushevskaya. Under the appeal, more than 50 people were signed.

"We support Lyudmila Stefanovna Petrushevskaya and consider it completely unacceptable the pursuit of the writer for his works. We are forced to emphasize once again that the description of the phenomenon in the literary text is not his propaganda, but the means to attract public attention to the problem. The image of unsightly aspects of life helps to think about them and try to find ways to overcome them. Classes - our efforts aimed at solving these problems will be in vain, ”the document says.

The appeal was signed by Alexander Arkhangelsky, Tatyana Bonch-Osmolovskaya, Marina Vishnevetskaya, Sergey Gandlevsky, Alexander Gelman, Denis Dragunsky, Olga Drobot, Alexander Podrabinek, Zoya Svetova, Vladimir Sorokin, Lev Timofeev, Lyudmila Ulitskaya, Tatyana Shcherbina, Mikhail Epstein and many others.

On March 6, members of the Public Council at the Krasnoyarsk Metropolitan were indignant at the story of Petrushevskaya Gluck about the sensations of a girl who first tried the drug. "The audience assessed the harm from such information for the psyche and spiritual education of adolescents. Everyone agreed that it was necessary to develop a consolidated strategy to counteract the spread of such literature in schools, including identifying the position of the Russian Orthodox Church," the press service of the diocese said .

Council members believe that the story that is included in the collection of the Youth Library series with an age price price of 12+ may fall under an article on the promotion of narcotic drugs. The rector of the Krasnoyarsk Pedagogical Institute Valery Kovalevsky is ready to conduct an examination of the story, the results of which can be sent to the Ministry of Education and Science. The Council intends to make the final decision at the end of March at a meeting, which will be chaired by the State Duma deputy Viktor Zubarev.

In this regard, Petrushevskaya quoted Pushkin: "To describe the weaknesses, errors and passions of humanity is not immorality - as an anatomy is not a murder."

Children's books regularly attract the attention of law enforcement agencies and the "Orthodox community" in connection with the mention of "forbidden topics" in them. So, in May 2014 it was reported that the prosecutor's office of the Oryol region began checking the series of books "Children's project Lyudmila Ulitskaya" for propaganda of non -traditional sexual relations. " The audit was carried out after receiving the oversight body of the denunciation, which states that "such books pose a threat to the cultural values ​​of our people."
