PUSSY RIOT VS THE ORTHODOX RUSSIAN STATE

The Anti-Blasphemy Message of the Feminist Punk-Prayer
Koshchunnitsy - a female plural form for a blasphemer - is a new word coined in Russia by a church official, arch priest Vsevolod Chaplin, while condemning Pussy Riot! But what was seen as blasphemy by ecclesial authorities was in fact an anti-blasphemy message addressed to clergy, lay people, and Russian society. having accused Pussy Riot of blasphemy, Russian Orthodox Church provoked a blasphemy counter discourse developed in this paper.
