Full wording of the charges
The case was initiated due to an eight-second video posted on Kondratyev's Instagram account, depicting him kissing his male partner in front of the Holy Trinity Church "Kulich and Easter." The video was accompanied by singing in the style of church chants with obscene lyrics. Although the investigation initially emphasized the victim's guilt as kissing another man in front of the temple, the verdict ultimately found Kondratyev guilty of using a song with profanity against the backdrop of church chants.
