Russian Musem Officials Being Prosecuted For Religiously Offensive Art Show

In Moscow, the director and the curator of the Andrei Sakharov Museum and Community Center have been charged with inciting religious hatred because of its "Forbidden Art" exhibition held last year. France24 reports that vandals destroyed some of the art, claiming it is offensive to Orthodox Christians, but they were not prosecuted. The art (some of which is shown in the France24 story) often uses Jesus as a theme. For example, one piece superimposes Lenin's head on Jesus on the cross.
