Today, I saw in the news a protest outside a Moscow court agaisnt two artists for displaying an exhibition in which religious images were used in an inapropiate way, and it was evident people´s anger. They were angry because this was an offense towards Russian values, and they were willing to defend their culture, apparently Russian society takes tradition very seriously. However, I wander why Russians don´t get angry when corrupt politicians recieve bribes or when public money is stolen and ended up in some one´s pocket? People need to realize that corruption is the real threat to society, it prevents people from getting better opportunities and creates social and economic instability. It makes the country weak in every sense.
