An art expert and a museum director were convicted by a Moscow court on Monday for inciting hatred, after they organized a provocative exhibition in the capital in 2007, offending the Russian Orthodox Church.
Two men who organized a controversial art exhibition in Moscow in 2007 were found guilty of inciting hatred by a Russian court on Monday, but the judge let them go free, after ordering them to pay fines. The trial was fiercely criticised by human rights activists.
Art expert Andrei Yerofeyev and former museum director Yury Samodurov had set up the Forbidden Art Exhibition at the Museum of Moscow. The show included a depiction of Jesus Christ with a Mickey Mouse head, and a spoof Coca-Cola ad carrying the slogan, "This is my Blood."
The exhibition was condemned by the Russian Orthodox Church. An ultra-nationalist Orthodox group filed a complaint, and prosecutors opened an investigation into the show. The two men were subsequently charged with inciting religious hatred.
Yerofeyev protested that the show was not deliberately anti-Christian, but that it was simply a protest about cultural censorship.
"I thought that this would cause controversy with the ministry of culture and other institutions," he told news agency AFP ahead of the ruling." But not within the church or with fascists.
"Society is sick. It still has problems with its reflection in the mirror, art," he added.
The judge found the men guilty, saying they had "committed actions aimed at inciting hatred." Yerofeyev and Samodurov could have been sentenced to up to three years in prison, but were instead ordered to pay fines of up to 200,000 rubles ($6,500).
Last week 13 Russian artists published an open letter to President Dmitry Medvedev asking him to end the trial. They said a guilty verdict would be a "sentence for the whole of Russian contemporary art" and "another step towards the introduction of cultural censorship."

Napisałem "prawie jak w Polsce" bo jednak dostał grzywnę, a nie karę pozbawienie wolności.
