"By the way, we are currently drafting statements to law enforcement agencies and the Commissioner for Human Rights regarding the offense to the feelings of millions of believers caused by such sacrilege!" the lawyer wrote on his Telegram channel.

As the UOJ previously reported, chef Klopotenko has apologized for the Lavra show.
