As up to 65,000 of Moscow’s pious prayed for the protection of the Russian Orthodox Church on the weekend, Kremlin critic and music journalist Artemy Troitsky was penning a sermon of his own.  ‘I am just as unsure about who is to blame and what needs to be done’, he starts his his clarion call in the Moscow Times.  This, however, is no reason to accept the status quo.  He argues:

If a convoy of official automobiles pushes through rush-hour traffic, honk your horn and shake a fist at them.

If government officials overstep their authority, gather witnesses and evidence and file a claim against them with the law enforcement officials. If you are a witness to corruption, post a video of it on the Internet.
