Pussy Riots

Well, I don't occur anything logic to say, for this reason I will talk about a irrelevant phenomenon that it makes me laugh, but in the same time it makes me admiration: The Pussy Riots and her performance on the Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Savior.



The Pussy Riots a Russian feminist punk rock protest group based in Moscow. Founded in August 2011, it has a variable membership of approximately 11 young women. They turned famous when in 2012 five members of the group staged a performance on the soleas of Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Savior. The protest it’s against the actual president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, and the Orthodox Church that he defended, and against the discrimination and persecution of the sexual minorities by the Putin “dictatorship”.

Inside the cathedral the Pussy Riots film a music video entitled "Punk Prayer - Mother of God, Chase Putin Away", I let you the link of the video in the end of this post. During the film the church security officials throw out to the girls. In March of the same year, the Russian police arrested three girls of the Pussy Riots: Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alyokhina and Yekaterina Samutsevich. On August 17 the three members were convicted of “hooliganism motivated by religious hatred” and on October were separated and sent to prison.

  5. I think Pussy Riot, and other feminist fights are loosing the time, they are posmodernity left, centred in cultural fights that capitalism can absorb and continiu living. I don't like feminist, and her aparent of radicalism.
