Open Letter to Madonna, Sting, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Danny DeVito, Kathleen Hanna, Adam Ad Rock Horowitz, Nina Hagen, Steven Fry, Peter Gabriel, Terry Gilliam, Yoko Ono and philosopher Slavoj Žižek
It is not easy to write things to favorite artists, but many of your fans here in Russia are puzzled by your recent statements.
Of course, it does not concern your work we appreciate and love. It hurts us to see how your authority is used in political games.
We want to tell you that your actions in defense of the so-called Pussy Riot band (even the Russian translation of the name is obscene) are due to the fact that you, being bearers of other language and culture, are not familiar with the "creativity" of this band.
We have no doubt that Pussy Riot’s PR experts convinced you that they are on trial for their political position. It's not the case. Previously Pussy Riot performed with their "songs" which abused state chief executives and were not brought to trial for it.
Now Pussy Riot are on trial because their latest trick wounded the feelings of a great number of believers in our country even solely by the place where they did it. No one in Russia can name a single song of Pussy Riot. They became famous for absolutely different things: their public perverted sexual tricks. What they present as "art" is not concerts or shows.
The Pussy Riot’s "performance" is lecherous orgies. Actions of those who present themselves as your colleagues are almost always conducted with the law violation, not to mention the rules of propriety. Would real artists arrange wild dancing and abuse at the Kremlin walls, on the great Red Square? Pussy Riot did.
In brotherly Ukraine their leader Tolokonnikova organized public sexual intercourse right in front of the Verkhovna Rada. What could motivate this young girl being in the 9th month of pregnancy to participate in a group orgy in the museum and post pictures in the Internet?
The recent event which have attracted your attention, was an obscene dance cynically called "public prayer", accompanied by offensive for the Orthodox Christians, song, arranged on the altar of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow. The Cathedral of Christ the Savior is the largest Orthodox temple, wich means the same as St. Peter Basilica in Vatican for Catholics or the Sacred Mosque of Kaaba in Mecca for Muslims!
Unfortunately, some political forces want to use the Pussy Riot’s detention in sordid motives, that's why they launched current PR-campaign. They do not only deceive you to influence your fans here in Russia, but also split the Russian society itself sowing the seeds of hatred between believers and atheists. Is freedom the right to insult other people with impunity? We do not think so and do not want to believe that you think so.
To save inter-religious peace and civil accord in our country, we, your fans from distant Russia, kindly ask you, not to haste to get involved in the events, which are too far from you to be easy to see.
We love you for you work, which, in contrast to Pussy Riot's “performance”, don't offend people but makes them happy!
