2) And you are totally right they got the prison time for their punk action in the church. They haven't been imprisoned for protesting. The got their punishment for "hooliganism which causes insulting of religious people". There is a penalty for it in Russian criminal code which has analogs in Western countries too (e.g. Defamation of religions, religious and ideological associations in German Criminal Code). Personally I don't support such a punishment but the law is the law.
3) Whey already did a very similar femenist anti-Putin protest punk action right on the Red Square and they were not punished for it, because they did it legal way. See this video:



So the conclusion is: you can protest against anything you want but please don't break the law.
in a democratic society there is a separation of church and state

so if i were to break into a catholic church here and sing a song about.. the devil

know what would happen?

i wouldn't go to jail.

they'd probably clap

but your religious types, are so serious and defensive about their faith, if another person represents their faith in a different way, that person goes to prison utilizing state powers

you live in a theocrazy. thanks for the update
