Keep in mind that this punk band is an updated version of the anti-Christian behavior of the early Bolsheviks in Soviet Russia and the anti-religious activities of the Red Guards of Maoist China. Prior to the rise of Stalin, the Bolshevik regime was very open to the sort of degenerate behavior, notably "free love" and homosexual advocacy, and desecration of churches, symbolized in the 2010s by this punk music group. Stalin cracked down on the cultural radicalism of the early Bolsheviks, but retained the anti-Christian policies of Lenin and Trotsky. As has been noted by several posters, this cathedral was built in the 1990s on the site of a former cathedral dynamited by Stalin and later converted into a swimming pool.

Whatever you think of Putin, justice was served by throwing these slutty musicians in jail for violating the rights of the churchgoers to worship peacefully.

Of course, you’re right. And the new Church of St. Savior is a re-creation of the one destroyed by Stalin. These punk sisters don’t even realize they are the handmaidens of indescribable despotism.

Putin’s no Stalin, either. Josef Vissarionovich never had to worry about the internet & twitter & the like. Vladimir Vladimirovich knows that the spotlight he loves is also his enemy. The new IT media is one genie that won’t get put back in the bottle. And Putin’s no King Canute, either.

I’m with the Russian Church on this one and I’ll just bet that the labor camps these profaning chicks have to face would have Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn thinking he’d already died & gone to heaven. The USSR is dead. Permanently.
