They protested against the church because the church is supporting Putin.
Church's should remain politically neutral when it comes to actually supporting candidates, etc. Not doing so makes them political organizations, not religious organizations. And, if the Eastern Orthodox Church supports Putin, they kind of deserve to be protested against.
The Nazi administrators of conquered Soviet territories made little attempt to exploit the population's possible dissatisfaction with Soviet political and economic policies. Instead, the Nazis preserved the collective-farm system, systematically carried out genocidal policies against Jews, and deported many Ukrainians to forced labour in Germany. In their active resistance to Nazi Germany, the Ukrainians comprised a significant share of the Red Army and its leadership as well as the underground and resistance movements. Total civilian losses during the War and German occupation in Ukraine are estimated at seven million, including over a million Jews shot and killed by the Einsatzgruppen.
Many civilians fell victim to atrocities, forced labor, and even massacres of whole villages in reprisal for attacks against Nazi forces. Of the estimated eleven million Soviet troops who fell in battle against the Nazis, about 25% (2.7 million) were ethnic Ukrainians. Moreover, Ukraine saw some of the biggest battles of the war starting with the encirclement of Kiev (the city itself fell to the Germans on 19 September 1941 and was later acclaimed as a Hero City) where more than 660,000 Soviet troops were taken captive, to the fierce defence of Odessa, and on to the victorious storming across the Dnieper river.
Kiev was recaptured by the Soviet Red Army on 6 November 1943.

Anyone will still protect the pussy riot after this ?
they will lose many supporters now
Its over for the pussy riot when this cross touched the ground
Activists from the Ukrainian feminist group Femen cut down a wooden crucifix in the center of the country’s capital, Kiev, on Friday in support of members of the Russian punk band Pussy Riot whose trial on hooliganism charges comes to an end today.
A video posted online showed a topless blond Femen protester wearing red shorts, with the words “Free Riot” scrawled across her chest and arms, cutting the cross with a chainsaw and then pulling it down using arope pulled by two other activists, and then posing with her arms extended crucifix-style.

This is disgusting .. i hope she get arrested and get the same 2 yrs sentence

i see only pure hatred in their message .. how can people listen to them
cutting a big Jesus cross like that, cant beleive they have done that
this girl will get jailed for eternity in the PIT
and you though 2 yrs was severe for waging chaos in a church

Sorry, I don't understand the connection between this case (either the Pussy Riot case or this "protest") and Stalingrad.

You need to understand that the so called Church played a significant role if not a catalyst to Stalingrad.
The band is Russian, so I guess they have some understanding of how Russia was significant to them.
Perhaps that female so called punk band should be re-educated into how significant Russia was to them and the whole world war two fornt. People sadly forget until one slams history in their face and says "what's ya say now idiot"

This act would not enrage all the Christians just the very stupid ones. And I am pretty sure God does not have a any property.

The thing that is pertinent to me is that Putin is a tyrant, the church supports the tyrant, and the victims of the tyrant take exception to it.
Stalingrad was 2 generations back.

The irony here is there are branches of feminist theory that will agree with your opinions on the subject.
I imagine you're not looking for a ticket to Saudi Arabia, so what you're essentially saying is you want everyone to go there except the people that agree with you.
If you're American then being allowed to have an opinion should be a dear and precious right to you. If you want to ship everyone to another country who disagrees with you, perhaps you should go to any number of the dictatorships available to you? They might have a place in politics for you there.
Please forgive and correct me if I've misunderstood your intention.

A source for that quote would be nice (as would using the correct tags for external quotes).
