Father Dimitry soon explained that his appeal was addressed to men who do not register their marriages with their common-law wives and then leave them for other women. However, a number of women's human rights organizations and activists have already filed complaints with the prosecutor's office. For example, representing the interests of the model and TV presenter Alena Vodonaeva, the well-known human rights activist Ekaterina Gordon also wrote statements to the Investigative Committee and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
