Such a statement made scandalous State Duma deputy Vitaly Milonov.
In an interview with our online publication, he said: "On the Internet, a group with an Orthodox name is gaining popularity, I decided to listen to them, and from the musical point of view they liked me, but there is one thing: they are Poles, and the Poles are known to be Russophobes.
And I realized that something is not clean ... In modern music there is such a trend as black metal, openly professing Satanism, paganism and hatred of Christianity. In other words, this group mocks Orthodoxy and the Russian people! Because I'm an Orthodox believer, and that offends me. So you need to ban it! We have already introduced the corresponding bill on the banning of satanic black metal in the State Duma.
However, not all black metal is satanic, there is such a style as Christian black metal, which openly opposes these bastards. I believe that it is necessary to fight this blasphemy at the state level. We are already assembling an Orthodox black metal band with the support of the Russian Orthodox Church, and I will participate in it as a vocalist. "
Please note that the genre of black metal is at the top of the charts of popular Russian music portals.
