We already knew how the Vladimir Putin‘s government is closely linked to the Russian Orthodox Church and has no respect for secularism.
So it was only a matter of time, before old ladies gone hooligans ambushed a sex shop:
A group of Russian Orthodox Church worshippers described as “cult followers” have ambushed a sex shop in central Moscow. All types of toys are the target like butt plugs, vibrators and many others.
Video footage from the “Tochka G” (“G Spot”) shop’s CCTV and eyewitnesses’ telephones show seven elderly women in head scarfs, sprinkling what is believed to be holy water on merchandise on the shop’s shelves and shouting “Shame! Shame!”
The group of women were led into the shop by a young man holding a ‘Madonna and Child’ icon, who was apprehended from entering by security guards before the women managed to pass through.
The Russian Orthodox Church has been making recent strides in promoting conservative Russian values as opposed to Western liberalism. A parliamentary bill that bans “homosexual propopganda”, which critics believe could crimimalize almost any overt public expression of gay sexuality, is being drafted and is supported by the Kremlin and the Church.
