"Get away from the kids and get on with your life": The mother of a Krasnodar teenager responded to Halloween opponents.
The mother of one of the teenagers who celebrated Halloween in Krasnodar yesterday responded to criticism directed at them. The Ministry of Internal Affairs explained the raids as preventative measures.
A Krasnodar resident addressed commentators who lashed out with criticism and insults at teenagers who celebrated Halloween in the city center yesterday.
"What did you give these kids in return? What alternative did you offer? Maybe you organized volleyball instead of writing nasty comments? This generation has already been deprived of everything: school assemblies, morning performances, discos, holidays, and trips." said The video features the mother of one of the teenagers.
This is how the woman responded to the numerous negative comments under videos from the festival: commenters called the young people partying "monsters," demanding they be "exemplarily punished," and bans be introduced "at the legislative level." The Krasnodar woman's daughter also participated in the carnival:
"My daughter went to great lengths with her costume and makeup and came back happy. The costumes are cool and creative. It's clear the church's condemnation came from her, but Russia is a secular state. So please, don't worry about your children and get on with your own lives. We can handle it ourselves without your judgment."
