Femen activist insults on the monument to Holy Prince Vladimir

In Kiev participants of the Femen movement held a “protest action” against the Cross Procession of the UOC, writes Newsone.

One of the activists named Anna in her underwear climbed the stairs to the bas-reliefs of the monument to Holy Prince Vladimir. The girl hung for a few minutes, then went downstairs. She was helped by the friend and two guys with a ladder.

After that, Anna became ill, and she was called an ambulance. The police having arrived to the scene said they would detain the activist until the identity and all circumstances were clarified.

This is not the first fact of vandalism of the participants of the organization. In 2012, activists of the Femen movement cut down the cross to the victims of political repression in the center of Kiev.
