| Summary / Abstract (Note) | "PUBLIC PASSION of Pussy Riot" has subsided. The verdict has been passed. Foreign Minister of Russia Lavrov told the journalists in Finland: "Let's not coming to snap judgments and getting into a tantrum." The Russian Orthodox Church's High Council said in a statement: "We appeal to the public authorities to show mercy, within the law, on the convicted." Timing was perfect: despite the pressure from the laity the top Church figures preferred to keep their opinions to themselves until the verdict had been passed. The Orthodox Christians, nevertheless, are adamant: leniency might provoke others to similar acts in other churches. |
