Ostanin was also convicted of offending the feelings of Christians with another off-colour joke he made about Jesus, which angered Orthodox nationalists.

This is arguably the greater crime. Fuck off religious people, keep that shit to yourself and don’t bother others about it.

Asked by the judge on Wednesday whether he understood his sentence, Ostanin said: “To hell with your judicial practice. No, I don’t.”

This guy is a fucking badass. What a terrible shame. Hope he comes out on the other side in one piece.
