U.S. State Department officials said that they were concerned about “Pussy”. What can we say in response? Only one thing – try to be less concerned, and this too, will pass. The same can be said for the legion of supporters of Pussy Riot. They rave themselves horse claiming that even if the Russian believers were outraged with the “concert” of the band at the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, then it is their problem.

Such “cleverness,” was blurted out by the chairman of the Bar Association of Russia “For Human Rights” Evgeny Arkhipov, who said in an interview with RBC Daily that the apologies of Pussy Riot became a “fatal legal error.” According to the lawyer, as long as the “punk prayer service” was not meant to hurt the feelings of the Orthodox believers, then there was no need for the band to apologize: “If they are offended – it’s their problem. I do not understand the words of regret. As a lawyer, I would not allow this position.” Well, thank you, Mr. Arkhipov, for not saying that the believers could go to hell. As they say, one does not need prosecutors with lawyers like that.

The defendants, nevertheless, opted for a “legal error”, although with reservations. In particular, one of the band members, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, put it this way: “We did not say insulting words to church believers and God in the temple. The words that we said and the whole expression of our punk performance had the goal to share our disapproval of a specific political event with audiences. We had no idea that a punk performance could seriously hurt someone. And if anyone was offended with our performance at the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, then I am ready to admit that we made an ethical mistake … ”

Another member of the notorious collective, Maria Alyokhina, shares a similar point of view: “If religious people were offended with the fact that we went behind the enclosure and climbed onto the pulpit, having it in mind as the stage, then I apologize for that…”
