It is really disgusting. I think Russia is worse than before - government dictatorships are bad, but when you throw in religious theocracy into dictatorship that is even worse. Religion and government should always be separate.

Shame on Russia! And same on the Orthodox Church that is causing these problems.

It does make me respect Madonna even more for speaking out.

That's how Russia was before the communist revoultion of 1917. But the only difference is they had a tsar then with the tsar, the army and the Russian Orthdox Church having most of the power (despite being only 2% of the people!) The church had a lot of influence back then and it appears they still do! That's why i said Russia hasn't changed because it literally hasn't. Putin is the new tsar, pretty much.

But good for Madonna anyway

Also, i doubt government and religion will separate in Russia. ( has it really in america though? i don't think so) it's quite lucky they have separated in most European and far east Asian countries to be honest

Good point.

Some of us are sure trying, but the theocrats seem to be driven by telling people what to do, and taking away civil rights.  I guess they need more games.
