The director of the human rights center of the Orthodox movement “Forty Sorokov” Georgy Soldatov is outraged by the work of tattoo artist Nina Karmysh, who lives in St. Petersburg.
According to rtvi.com, the tattoo artist’s works with images of crosses with kittens and on an Orthodox church were previously published on social networks. Additionally, religious attributes are combined with anime and pop art. Georgy Soldatov accuses Nina Karmysh of insulting the feelings of believers.
The human rights activist sent a request to remove the drawings, but was refused. In response, Karmysh accused Georgy Soldatov of insufficient strength of faith.
In a comment to the Baza Telegram channel, the human rights activist said that in Russia there is a tendency to distort religious symbols. 90% of incidents are blasphemy and mockery.
Soldatov intends to contact the main department of the Investigative Committee of St. Petersburg. The human rights activist also intends to file a complaint against Nina Karmysh’s colleague. He believes that his colleague “fiercely hates Christ.”
After Georgy Soldatov’s demands, Nina Karmysh blocked access to her works on the social network. The Investigative Committee has not yet responded to the human rights activist’s complaint.
Vakhtang Kipshidze, a tattoo artist and deputy chairman of the Russian Orthodox Church department, responded to the work. He believes that there are grounds for appealing to the Investigative Committee regarding the works of Nina Karmysh.
