A Russian was sentenced to a suspended prison sentence for playing Pokemon GO in a church, of course without the consent of any priest. We are talking about a blogger from Russia who was convicted because his action insulted the believers in Russia, at the same time inciting hatred against the church.
Ruslan Sokolovsky is the name of this Russian, he is a blogger who is trying to get the attention of the whole world with his gesture, especially since Pokemon GO was a very popular game. The Church in Russia and the authorities did not take kindly to his gesture, so he was sentenced to 3 and a half years in prison with a suspended sentence for the gesture.
The Russian is satisfied with the sentence he received and credits the Russian press with the fact that it publicized the case, otherwise he thinks he would have received a sentence without suspension. Although the police warned people that these gestures constitute crimes, the blogger stated that everything is madness, but he will probably be careful in the future not to upset the church.
"Without the support from reporters, I would possibly have been given a real prison sentence."
