The Point G Erotic Museum is located in the very center of Moscow and covers an area of over 800 square meters. It combines an exposition of contemporary erotic art and a hypermarket for adults. The leaders and employees of this institution spoke out in support of the notorious group Pussy Riot, which performed a punk prayer at the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. On 28 August 2012, the building was attacked. Until now, law enforcement agencies and the public are trying to figure out who attacked the erotic museum.
The attack took place on the night of August 28-29, 2012. Two young men, without covering their faces with masks, accompanied by a man with a camera, burst into the premises of the "Point G" museum, located on the Arbat. In his hands one of the young men held the main weapon - a brick. Threatening with a stone, the young people went straight to the administrator of the museum. The girl who worked that night left the place in a hurry, fearing for her life.
According to the director of the Museum of erotic art "Point G", Alexander Donskoy, this action was carried out by opponents of the notorious group Pussy Riot. Young people appeared at the building, accompanied by a support group. One of the attackers was carrying a book with a cross on the cover. The activists did not touch a single exhibit and left, leaving the brick they had brought in at the reception.
Journalists have already managed to call this group of persons “Orthodox activists” who organize a kind of protest action for those who dared to speak out in support of the girls - the authors of the infamous punk prayer service - in court. For example, they also appeared in Teatre.doc, where a play about Pussy Riot was being staged in an attempt to disrupt the event.
However, according to the same Alexander Donskoy, those who attacked the Museum of Erotica are mercenaries who carry out their actions on order for a certain fee. Their peculiar speeches were also negatively assessed by bloggers who suggested that these people are deliberately compromising the Russian Orthodox Church. These actions portray real Christians as hooligans and put them on a par with Pussy Riot and the Femen movement.
Today, we can conclude that these activists are not a formed squad for the protection of Orthodox shrines. This initiative was made by the head of the "Holy Russia" movement. Ivan Otrakovsky suggested organizing special Orthodox patrols that would be on the streets of Moscow to prevent any attempts to desecrate priests or monuments. A special reservation was that the vigilantes would not show any aggression or physical violence.
