After that, Samodurov YV, AV Erofeev, seeking to further strengthen the negative psychological and moral impacts of exhibits on the minds of visitors, who came to the conclusion that the combination of the exhibition as exhibits that contain foul language, and exhibits with religious symbols, an insult to the Christian religion and Christians as its individual members of the content, for which, using their official position, provided the location of such previously selected Erofeev AV items, as the graphic composition Avdyei Ter-Oganyan Explosion number 5 ", a sculpture by Leonid Sokov" Monument ", a graphical composition of Ilya Kabakov" Fuck you ... "painting" Kitchen Conversation Mikhail Roginsky in close proximity to other items, using and containing a religious symbol of Christians.
In turn, being publicly presented at the exhibition, the latter contain a humiliating performance, negative emotional evaluations, and negative attitudes of a group of individuals who are believing Christians. Those derogatory characteristics held by the method of collage sacred to the Christian religion symbols, such as a cross, the salary of icons, the sacred liturgical texts, iconography scenes stories of the Holy New Testament - a notoriously profane imagery - the symbols of consumer culture (fast food restaurant McDonald's logo, a picture of fish roe), vulgar (cartoon character Mickey Mouse), or for a long time opposed to Christianity ideological symbols, such as the Soviet order, or the title of the Soviet newspaper Izvestia. As part of the collage selected images, which are within the meaning of antonyms core values of Christian faith and worship, or associated with images of its historical opponents.
Accordingly, use of exhibits and the above-mentioned shaped devices designed to create meaningful experiences crossing out, denial, destruction of sacred meaning of Christian symbols and, consequently, the destruction of the meaning of Christian faith, and thus a direct affront to Christians and as bearers of this belief.
