RT International A Russian court has ruled that the establishment’s Christian-themed menu was “offensive”
A St. Petersburg court has fined a local bar owner for using images of Jesus Christ and other Christian iconography to sell drinks. At least one person filed a police report, complaining that the interior design and menu of the S’aint bar had offended their religious beliefs.
Sophie Noskova-Avramovich pleaded guilty to violating Article 148 of the Russian Criminal Code, which covers “offenses against religious beliefs,” and has been fined 30,000 rubles ($342), according to a spokeswoman for the city’s judiciary, Darya Lebedeva.
Lebedeva wrote on Telegram that the bar’s design incorporated Christian symbols, including a large pink neon cross, as well as “elements of non-religious and anti-religious aesthetics aimed at emphasizing the philosophy of hedonism and relativism that is unacceptable from a Christian standpoint.”
