After completion of the court "NOT" talk with the ex-head of the department of the latest trends of the Tretyakov Gallery, Andrei Erofeev of a guilty verdict and the future of contemporary art.

- How do you assess the court decision?

- This is a great loss for all healthy European forces in Russia. Authorities did not find the courage, relying on the sober arguments, to oppose barbarism, obscurantism and obscurantism. For many centuries the Russian monarchs, were able to do it, although in XVIII-XIX centuries of savagery was longer. But at the beginning of the XXI century we are driven by people who succumb to far-reaction and gave her at the mercy of the culture. Torn apart yet symbolic. I heaped with flowers, because I was not arrested, but gave only a fine. What joy? The judicial power of darkness and supported their arguments.

- You expect real life imprisonment?

- The prosecution demanded three years, and could give. Thank you for the court to show mercy and not planted. "Thanks" I say absolutely sincere, because I have four children, and I would not like to lose family because of this history. The news that I'm not going to a colony-settlement - a great relief.

- How now can the fate of modern art and artists?

- If not resist obscurantism, it razrozhdaetsya as a weed. Compromise solutions, these people perceive as a victory and only pluck. From the standpoint of public interest is a huge loss judicious part of society. The court's decision closes the art from the society. We'll have to exhibition of the artist checked into the Patriarchate, to consult with the reactionaries.

- Supporting colleagues feel?

- The artistic community is almost the first time has demonstrated extraordinary solidarity. All came to support us: from the Academy of Arts and the Center for the Study of East European Christianity to the most avant-garde organizations such as the Museum of Modern Art. On one hand you could count those who declined.

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.
