God may be merciful but Russian court is not… one Sokolovsky, 22 years old youtuber and vloger, made a clip in which he plays Pokemon Go in an orthodox church in Yekaterinburg, where the last Russian tzar family is said to have been killed. Young youtuber made a clip on which he is shown playing the augmented reality game on his smartphone inside the church. He was sued (it is unknown by whom exacly, possibly the church’s pop) and sentenced to three and a half year of suspended sentence. Judge Yekaterina Shoponyak commented her decision by saying that Sokolovsky’s behaviour denoted lack of respect for the churchgoers and incited religion-based hatred. According to Sokolovsky himself, it is only thanks to the support of press that his sentence was suspended.

Young man’s clip can be seen here. Decide for yourself if his behaviour is enough to deserve over three years in prison. Best not to play any mobile games when you go to church… unless the mass is really dull.
