I still haven't figured out what they did. No-one seems to be talking about that. I haven't watched all those videos yet. Is it in one of them?
The nuns who were in the church that day gave evidence in court. They swore on their holy book to tell the truth. I believe their account of events and the pussie's didn't deny it because they thought they should be allowed to do it.
Hooliganism and balsphemy are both against the law in Russia. Luckily for them they got away with the lesser charge of blasphemy. The crime of hooliganism carries a much harder penalty.
Watch the video freediver.
We don't come from a religious society so it's hard to understand that a country would have laws that protect religion, but you have to understand the history under the old communist regime to put it in perspective.
The pussies purposely set out to break the laws to show their hatred of religious laws. They stamped on religious icons and mooned the statue of Jesus.
For example just imagine my street has a 60km an hour speed limit.
Ok, I think it should be 80km, so I always drive down my street at 80km.
I end up before the courts. The judge hates people who purposely breaks the law of the land and she gives me the maximum sentence.
Bad luck for me, I had it coming.
