So fascism is fine and dandy with you as long as the other side that you disagree with goes to jail.

LOL. Keep arguing against that straw man. If these women had legally protested Putin and were jailed, I'd be on your side. But no, they had to break the law, act like skanks and desecrate a church. I have no patience for that. In fact, you seem to be arguing that they should get special treatment because they claim to be political dissenters. If it was just some unknown druggie who vandalized this church, do you think he would have gotten off with a lesser sentence in Putin's Russia? I don't.

Uh, dude, in case you've failed to follow the recent news out of Russia, there is no such thing as a legal means to protest him.

This is the nature of the church in question:

That Christ the Savior Cathedral had become a significant symbol in the political strategy of the authorities was clear to many thinking people when Vladimir Putin’s former [KGB] colleague Kirill Gundyayev took over as leader of the Russian Orthodox Church. After this happened, Christ the Savior Cathedral began to be openly used as a flashy backdrop for the politics of the security forces, which are the main source of political power in Russia.

So if there was a state church in the US and Obama appointed Eric Holder as its head, and that church openly promoted Obama's fascism, would you be so willing to defend it from protests?
