I am Russian. Do you know what Pussy Riot are most infamous for in Russia? Not for their show in the cathedral, as one would think. They are known for one of their previous “riots” – an act of group sex conducted in a small museum in Moscow, that was videotaped and leaked online. People were scared to go to the museum after that. If you get to know more about their organization, you would probably pause and take a second look at the current events. Between two points of view, whether these are three troubled ladies seeking attention or three glorified protestants against the totalitarian regime of Putin, there are so many shades of grey that I would not hurry to draw any conclusions.

Hi Celesta, I’ve seen the Russian LJ entry about this. However, that’s not what they’re being prosecuted for, and even if it were, it’s not something that anyone should spend seven years in jail for. I don’t see the shades of grey, irregardless of how offensive people see Pussy Riot’s work as.

Celesta, it’s not true. You know it!

Pussi – simply three silly and stupid hooligans who didn’t make anything, except provocations. They have no education, they are aggressive. But the whole world knows about them (knows their name, instead of that that they – a blank space). …Because there are the big rich persons interested in it. And in using these silly women in the purposes. Anybody from them doesn’t think of Pussi. I saw this situation in the case of Khodorkovsky. I am take of interview at Lyudmila Alekseeva. For she a main thing was to give political coloring. Khodorkovsky was simply a reason for demonstration of political views of opposition. Also now they use Pussy. It is limiting cynicism. And you help this cynism, when support them.

Bonjour, j’aime votre travail artistique mais je regrette de contaster que vous faites parti des « supporters » de ces Pussy Riot qui sous couvert de diverses protestations se permettent des actes impardonnables. Amicalement votre.

Stop trying so hard to get attention from the media. Before doing any crapy artwork search about the issue first. If you really care about social problems, do something about Wall Street Occupy in your country. These bitches deserve to be jailed for years for what they have done in Russia.

Alex, her artwork is excellent! As for Occupy, she’s done art for it from the start! Seems like you need to do research on this artist’s work before speaking of it! Now time to eat some excellent chocolate!

Pussy Riot isn’t even a band. They have no albums, they play at no ticketed venues, they only play songs for their very disturbing performance art. Plus they get funding from the NED, which to most every other country in the world, they are an intelligence operation:

The US is the country these days that practices torture, assassination, rendition, and indefinite detention without trials. We need to get our own house in order before we criticize others. At least Pussy Riot got a trial.

Very nice poster,Molly! Viva Pussy Riot! I see the Saint Putin Trolls can`t resist the temptation to mystify and hate here,there and everywhere Pussy Riot is welcomed. The opposite of a feminist is an arsehole.
