In Chita a storm of indignation among the faithful and clergy: teen lit the candles in the Cathedral of the Kazan icon of the mother of God, together with a friend caught it on video and posted to social networks. His “minute of fame” he got all of it written and looking for police. “MK” found for Maxim earlier and asked a few questions. The guy explains that “hype” he is not wanted.
Police in Zabaykalsky Krai began checking video in social networks Instagram and TikTok, where a teenager lights a candle in the Cathedral and puffing, moving away from icons. On the video between two friends is the dialogue:
– What are you planning to do? asks his friend, the scribe, in front of the Cathedral.
– Podgoritsa from candle – responsible teenager.
– It would be a crime of the year – seriously says the man.
“of Course,” agrees the answer is a blasphemer and he is going to do their “dirty” business.
“MK” found the hero of scandalous video Maxim – he claims he’s 18 years old and he is studying in College to be a programmer. That is, it appears, he must answer for his act before the law.
Why did you do it to hype to catch?
– Just say that it wasn’t for the “hype”. And just like that. For yourself. I didn’t even know that it could be some criminal liability. Just wanted to do it and went to the temple. We decided that nobody has done before and decided to do.
– why the cross?
– Well, come into the Church, you need to cross.
Parents know? How did they react?
– I don’t live with them, I live with friends. I do not communicate with them.
the Police found you?
No. We not hiding from anyone. I think that’s all, maybe they’ll contact me.
– In the temple you are someone noticed, scolded, maybe?
– no One saw me.
I Regret what I did?
I regret what I did, I even want to record a video apology to all believers whose feelings I hurt. I saw comments in social networks and realized that I’ve done. No sense in my action was not. I have no religious education, and I know nothing about it… Now I condemn and even threaten! Now I know how people can be aggressive. From my actions no one was hurt physically, and now I can suffer for what has made this mistake…
Blasphemous act of a teenager, which he can’t even really explain can have pretty serious consequences for him. Official representative of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation on Transbaikalian edge Egor Markov has commented on the “MK”
– We now make a preliminary examination on the grounds of a crime under article 148 of the criminal code “Public actions expressing clear neuwaretion to the society and committed to insult the religious feelings of believers”. If found to be a crime, then there may be a more severe punishment on the second part of this article: actions insult the feelings of believers, committed in the places provided for worship. Investigators must interview the teenager and establish the motive. Will be prompted for characterizing and other necessary materials.
the Second part of article 148 of the criminal code, if the insult of feelings of believers happens in the temple is punishable by a fine in the amount up to 500 thousand rubles. In addition to a fine, according to this article punishment: obligatory works for the term up to 480 hours, or compulsory work for a term up to three years, or imprisonment for the same term with restriction of liberty for a term up to one year.
Judging by the young men of the profile in Instagram, Maxim is clearly not “good”: on the videos he and his friends have tattoos, swear, etc. and about the fact that the teenager didn’t want to get hype, it is still disingenuous: “Here is the tin! Only quality content! Clicking on the link in TicTok…,” he writes on his page. Under the scandalous video with a jump-start in the temple his signature: “This is just for you! Don’t hang about, sign up and wait!”. In addition, he hastened to share on the page screenshots wrote about his affair in the Cathedral media.
