Are you fukking kidding? tell that to all the journalist and reporters who have been killed or the guy in london that was given the radio active cocktail and glowed his way to the coffin.Most evil overlords would have just had them quietly shot. The Chinese Government would have sent a bill to their families for the cost of the bullets used to execute them. In that context, Putin really isn't such a bad guy for an evil overlord, maybe even the "Mr. Rogers" of his class of villain.
It has everything to do with him, because it was a protest specifically about him.I have a feeling their sentence has nothing to do with Putin, but rather with the sensitivity of the new-found religious freedom, that had been suppressed for 70 years in Russia. Maybe, the Russians still have something that is called "sense of decency" when it comes to the sanctity of churches.
Not trying to take sides, just wanted to show the other side of the coin.
I have to agree with this sentiment.....those gals knew exactly what they were doing and the also knewIf you're going to shake the tree you have to be willing to be hit in the had by some falling cocoanuts.
Pussy Riot knew the system, knew what they were doing and their stunt was treated a lot more seriously than they expected.
Oops. Tough shit, but they knew who they were playing with.
They should be suing her for being Madonna....Now Russia is suing Madonna for 10 million for offending them because she supported gay rights during her concert in Saint Petersburg. Jeez worlds most sensitive country? I am offended by their offense.
Cripes if you are going to opt for electoral fraud at least do it in a funny way.While you're quoting percentages and statistics.......
Putin’s Chechnya Turnout: 107 Percent
Allegations of fraud abound in Russia’s recent election, but Chechnya is perhaps the most brazen case. Chechnya, the region that Vladimir Putin practically declared war on in 1999, voted for him by an astonishing number—by more votes, in fact, than there are people on the rolls. In one precinct Putin got 1,482 votes, while his communist opposition got one. There are only 1,389 people registered to vote there, giving the precinct a turnout of 107 percent. Russian forces detained hundreds of protesters during demonstrations yesterday. More than 20,000 people came out to call for Putin's ouster.

I am not religious in any way, but they should protest anywhere but in churches, where people go to have piece and quiet. .
Yours was the only intelligent analysis here, and frankly you're dead-on with regard to the issue. I'd like to add further that the western media and the sheep that blindly follow it predictably use incidents like these to cry afoul of human rights. You even get pseudo-intellectuals like peaceguy who use fancy words like "non-sequitur" to only simply be stating that something doesn't make sense (to him) just because it doesn't seem to follow.As far as I am concerned, they are guilty of trying to become rich and famous by being outrageous. It worked for Madonna, didn't work for them. Tough luck
I am sure they would not be welcome in a Vancouver church doing what they were doing in Russia. Having watched their "act" I think they deserve, if not 2 years in prison, at least a good kick in the butt. We here in Canada would call it art, the Russians have the courage to call it what it is: hooliganism
hooliganism
Noun
1. willful wanton and malicious destruction of the property of others
(synonym) vandalism, malicious mischief
(hypernym) mischief, mischief-making, mischievousness, deviltry, devilry, devilment, rascality, roguery, roguishness, shenanigan
