Moscow police won't add orthodox militia to patrols

Moscow police have called declarations that voluntary orthodox militia would patrol Moscow streets together with policemen to be "premature." The declaration was made by the head of the Orthodox movement "Holy Russ" Ivan Otrakovsky."We haven't worked on this issue in the Ministry of the Interior. It is premature to talk about any kind of joint work," – a source in the Ministry of the Interior told Interfax.
The head of the department of the regional security in the Moscow government, Alexai Mayorov, said he was against joint patrols with orthodox militias.
"I think this is the wrong approach. This breaks society apart, we have a multi-denominational nation. This looks like some kind of private initiative. We already have a normal practice of voluntary militias in Moscow, they form on a territorial principle. It has been rather effective, and we will develop this further," Mayorov said.
Earlier on Wednesday Otrakovsky told Interfax that the voluntary Orthodox militias start to patrol Moscow and the region, and that they would coordinate their actions with police.
"If we find persons who are performing a sacrilege, offend the Orthodox faith, or show aggression towards Orthodox priests, we reserve the right to take measures," Otrakovsky said.
"We keep in mind that we are orthodox people, and this is our land, we own it and we answer for it. <…> We cannot observe calmly how our faith is trampled upon, followed by cowardly silence or even cheers of traitors, Christ's apostates." Otrakovsky added.

Putin's 'Politburo 2.0'
Interestingly I was chatting to a Russian facebook friend earlier and he had this to say:damn... sounds like there'll be a civil war in russia over pussy riot.. certain neo-nazi/neo-christian groups are threatening to patrol the streets from now on... everybody wants attention and the dogs are out.. I wonder what the police are going to do...it's a worry. Will right-wing 'hooliganism' run afoul of the law too?
John Richards: Charge/Discharge (Documentary & Performance 2012)
Charge/Discharge explores how the very essence of an electronic instrument, electricity, can be used to shape and control sound.
Current produced by the Faraday ‘Dirty’ Kinetic Generator is stored in capacitors that act as a pool/reservoir. The more capacitance/the greater the size of the pool/reservoir, the longer the capacitors will take to charge and discharge. An idiosyncrasy of this circuit, and a critical part of the piece, is that, as the capacitors discharge, a glissando and ‘dying away’ of sound occurs. It is left to the discretion of the performers to choose the number and size of capacitors for their instrument.
On direction, each performer frantically shakes their Faraday ‘Dirty’ Kinetic Generator. As the capacitors charge, a chord approximately of the same pitch will eventually sound. Once all the capacitors are fully charged, a cue is given to stop shaking. A continuous sound will be present. The unified single pitch will gradually fragment into downward glissandi and an evolving cluster chord as the capacitors discharge. At different times, each oscillator will eventually cease sounding. The piece ends when the final sounding oscillator is silent.
