The men who danced in front of the cathedral in Novocherkassk recorded a video apology. The public is outraged.
The frame shows two men with their faces hidden bring apologize for "inappropriate behavior" in front of the temple and promise "not to do it again."
Earlier, it was spread on the Internet video, in which two men and a girl dance in front of the Ascension Cathedral in Novocherkassk Rostov region to the music coming from a car parked in the square in front of the temple.
The story made national news. TASS, citing an official representative of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, Irina Volk сообщилthat the "offenders" were charged with illegal parking and petty hooliganism.
"My personal opinion is that people have no moral values, and this kind of thing shouldn't be recorded!" commented a subscriber who sent the video to a local public group.
Most commentators in Rostov public groups supported him:
"Where are the Cossacks with the whip?"
"The evil spirits are raging."
"Who needs their apologies? They should be used for community service—let them clean up the city's trash for a month."
Those who asked, "Why can't we have dances in front of the Ascension Cathedral? Because Russia is for the sad and not a time to smile?" were told to "ask God for forgiveness" because "it's Lent now, everyone needs to observe the funeral feast, and yet you're justifying these heretics."
In recent years, inspections have been ordered in Russia excite criminal and administrative cases for what supporters of "traditional values" consider "offensive" photos and videos against the backdrop of churches. For example, a young teacher from Marina Lvova of the Novosibirsk Region following an anonymous complaint to the local education department had to explain I told my boss to publish a wedding photo of myself and my husband kissing in front of the church. There's no indication anywhere of what's allowed and what's not near the church.
