A
23 year old artist and film maker Ilya Novikov was arrested for
impersonating Jesus Christ after he was spotted walking along a road
carrying a huge wooden cross on his back in the city of Perm in central
Russia’s Perm Krai region.
A video recorded by an eyewitness showed the bearded artist wearing
long flowing white robe as he walked along the street with a T-shaped
cross.
Motorists saw him and called the Police. Two policemen quickly
arrived on the scene to arrest him – but struggled to fit his cross in
the back of their patrol car. They eventually succeeded and took Mr
Novikov to a police station for questioning and was later released.
Speaking after release, Mr Novikov said: “My friend gave me some
wooden sticks so I made a cross out of them. The experience of Jesus
Christ was repeated. People were laughing, shouting and mocking me.
‘This reaction proves that the Bible story was true and that after
2,000 years people have still not changed – we are still cruel and
intolerant to our neighbours.”
