Overview
In the winter of 2011, after a controversial election, Vladimir Putin was reinstalled as president of Russia. In response, hundreds of thousands of citizens rose up all over the country to challenge the legitimacy of Putin’s rule. Among them were a group of young, radical-feminist punk rockers, better known as Pussy Riot. Wearing colored balaclavas, tights, and summer dresses, they entered Moscow’s most venerated cathedral and dared to sing “Mother Mary, Banish Putin!” Now they have become victims of a “show” trial.

Viewing Notes
I may not 100% agree with what these girls have to say at all times, but you cannot deny that they were treated quite shitty. The whole thing is kind of shocking. Yeah, I see where what they did was wrong. Does it really warrant multiple years in prison?
Luckily, they are all out now and hopefully something good will come of all this - even more than what already has.
