Last Update: 1:40 PM 9/8/2012

Vovchik!
Khoroshaya u tebya dochka: krasivaya i umnitsa, no i svoyenravnaya, konechno, chto i ne udivitelno; oni vse seychas takiye. A te devochki, chto, ne tvoi dochki? I u dvoikh po rebyonku. Vipusti ikh pryamo seychas, legalniy pretext naydyotsa. Potushi pozhar. I, glavnoye: pust Tserkov znayet svoyo mesto, khvatit etogo litsemeriya. Vsya eta vizantiyskaya "symphoniya" davno uzhe prevratilas v kakophoniyu, yesli ne khuzhe. Oni tebe sovershenno ne nuzhni, no, glavnoye: oni sovershenno ne nuzhni sovremennomu gosudarstvu. Ot nikh tolko problemi. Razdeleniye Tserkvi i Gosudarstva imeyet davnuyu i glubokuyu istoricheskuyu mudrost i traditsiyu. Vera ili neveriye - eto lichnoye i chastnoye delo kazhdogo i s gosudarstvennim upravleniyem smeshivatsa nikak ne dolzhni. Tsarevitch, podtverdi: ti zhe zakonnik. Yuridicheski, etot Pussy Riot dolzhen rassmatrivatsa kak forma politicheskogo i khudozhestvennogo protesta, i tolko. Nikakoy ugolovshini i huliganisma zdes net. I yesli Kirillu eto ne nravitsa, pust pishet zhalobi v svoi sobstvenniye visshiye instantsii.
