Ruslan Sokolovsky. Russian Law Today I want to tell you about the very popular incident on the Russian YouTube. I suppose, all of us have heard about the Russian YouTuber, who is going to prison for playing Pokémon Go in a church. First of all, we should answer the couple of questions: ‘Who is this Russian YouTuber?’ and ‘What kind of video did he make?’ His name is Ruslan Sokolovsky. He is a 21 years old university student and typical YouTuber based in Yekaterinburg, Russia. He has over 300,000 subscribers on YouTube channel. Ruslan was filmed catching Pokémon in the Church of All Saints in Yekaterinburg at the beginning of August, when the Pokémon Go hype was at its height. The video was viewed over 1 400 000 times. In the video, Sokolovsky talks about a news report from July about Pokémon Go players facing criminal for using their phone in Russian churches. Sokolovsky said: ‘I decided to just catch some Pokémon in church because, why not? I believe it’s both safe and legal’. A week after Sokolovsky posted the video, police began investigating him for violation of the right to freedom of conscience and religion. His lawyer told the press after his arrest that he faces up to five years in jail. Now, when we know what happened, let`s think is it normal to arrest people because of playing the game in a church. In my opinion, this video about Pokémon Go was not the main reason why Sokolovsky was arrested. The YouTuber has a lot of videos about religion, he really insulted the believers. I don’t like and don’t respect the article 148 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. In my opinion, this law violates the Constitution of our country. People can not say what is ‘the insulting the feelings’ of believers. This article is just a way to put anyone in prison. However, Sokolovsky knew about this law. Yes, he does not like it, but it is not the reason to break the law. In conclusion, I don’t think that it is why people should be arrested. Ruslan didn’t make anything terrible. You might say that God doesn’t exist, it is your opinion. Believers have a choice, they could be offended only if they want. I hope that he would not be put in jail.
