The security has managed to stop her immediately and she has only been able to shout at the Patriarch "Go Away from Here!" The woman had a sign written on her naked back reading Kill Kirill.
The FEMEN activist was able to gain access of the airport because she had accreditation from a Kharkov-based media.

The organization became internationally known for organizing topless protests against sex tourists, international marriage agencies, sexism and other social, national and international problems.
