Pussy Riot

The group first declared itself in November 2011, when their clip “Free Bruschatka”, shot at several Moscow metro stations and other capital transport facilities, was rapidly dispersed along the rune.

Activists have repeatedly emphasized that the group is not attached to specific persons and it has no frontmen and leaders. The vocalists were hidden under the nicknames of Balaklava, Turya, Garaja, Cat, Seraphim, Schumacher, Puck, Terminator, Road, Pokhletka, Blonde, and the Pussy Riot composition, apparently, changed from the action to the action.

Problems of the group began on January 20, 2012. After the performance of the song "Riot in Russia - Putin Zassal" in a frontal place, FSO officers detained 8 members of the group.

On February 21, the most resonant performance of the group took place. On YouTube, a video was posted for the song "The Virgin, Putin drive away." Part of the speech was recorded in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. The girls went to the altar and performed "Punk-Moleben". As in the rest of the group’s clips, the sound on the video was posted later, during installation.



The action laid the foundation for the massive attack of the Russian Orthodox Church and law enforcement agencies on the members of the group.
