The Prosecutor's office approved the indictment for the most active participants of the action Enteo in the Arena. The case materials were sent to the Tver court

Ludmila Esipenko, which is called "Orthodox activist", — is the young woman who was thrown on a floor linoleum Vadim Sidur at the exhibition "the Sculptures that we don't see" in the Arena August 14, 2015. She was part of a group of supporters of Dmitry Enteo, leader of the movement "God's will", which made a scandal at the exhibition of the sculptor-шестидесятника. Justifying their actions by the fact that the work is an insult to their religious feelings, young people smashed several works.

that day affected 4 the work of Vadim Sidur from the series of "101" (linoleum, 30×30, 1971). Enteo was the instigator: he said in a raised voice, sparred with the guards. For it has departed 10 days of administrative arrest in September of 2015. But he Enteo, as I recall, the exhibits were not touched. And plain Esipenko could not resist and laid hands upon me. Whether out of stupidity, inexperience, or impressed by the fiery speeches or in the heat of passion. But what's done is done: Lyudmila Esipenko concluded under house arrest, held psycho-психиатрическую examination at Institute Serbian recognised that it is characterized by affective behaviour) and forwarded the materials to the Tver court of Moscow. The hearing shall be held before 30 June 2016. Under the regime of house arrest under investigation made an exception to allow every day to attend Church. This was reported by , the Agency "Interfax".

a condemnation of the action Enteo exhibitions of the Siddur were the Union of Russian museums and many members of the art-сообщества. However, only a few people believed that this case goes to criminal prosecution. And wanted, that's not all.

ironically Lyudmila Esipenko will be judged by "activist" article that people from the sphere of art managed to memorize — 243 of the criminal code — destruction or damage of cultural heritage objects. In the same article judged the actionist Pavlensky for the arson of the doors of the building of the FSB. The maximum penalty for the first part of this is three years of imprisonment. Minimum — fine. It fine, by the way, in the end, and appointed Pavlensky.
