               " Ruslan Sokolovski posted a YouTube video of him playing Pokémon GO in the Church of All Saints in Yekaterinburg. While denying what he did was offensive, the Russian player is currently being detained for two months and may face up to five years in prison for attacks on the liberty of faith."

               This is pure madness, but Russia is an extremely Orthodox country so I can't say I'm too surprised. I wonder if it's the same here in Romania.... I hope not.

It's possibly similar depending on what the revolution established in Romania. There was a lot of hot headed laws put into place after Communism was overthrown. The crazy Russian Church stuff was a hot-headed reaction against how the Communists persecuted religious people and culture, now they persecute certain blasphemies instead :P

Similar things in Romania happened during the communist autocracy, and the revolution was more heated than Russia. So it is highly possible.

But he won't face 5 years in prison. The law says up to 5, but he won't get close to that much.
