Pussy Riot Breaks Up: Group Splits from Arrested Members Maria and Nadezhda Over Ideological Issues

It turns out that with the newfound fame as international human rights spokespersons, Maria Alyokhhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova have alienated their former musical group members, who now feel the pair have strayed from the movement's original goals.

Six of the members of the Russian punk rock group known as Pussy Riot have decided to write a letter stating that they may no longer be listed as members of their group. In the letter, the collective accuses the two former members of no longer meeting up to the "aspirations and ideals of [the] group."

The two newly disenfranchised members had performed with Madonna during a concert in New York this past Wednesday. These were the same two members who had previously -- and famously -- been jailed two years ago for doing a protest song at a cathedral in Moscow in 2012, having just been freed this past December.

The two, who go by the aliases "Masha" and "Nadia," spent 16 months in prison altogether. The other six members, known as "Garadja," "Fara," "Shaiba," "Cat," "Seraphima," and "Schimacher" to protect their anonymity, all signed the letter. They also criticized the pair for showing up at an Amnesty International event in New York.

The group intends to be a leftist and anti-capitalist whereas the two exiled members have become "institutionalized advocates of prisoners' rights". The letter said "Unfortunately for us, they are being so carried away with the problems in Russian prisons, that they completely forgot about the aspirations and ideals of our group -- feminism, separatist resistance, fight against authoritarianism and personality cult, all of which, as a matter of fact, was the cause for their unjust punishment."

"Our performances are always 'illegal,' staged only in unpredictable locations and public places not designed for traditional entertainment," they declared.

The letter written was not entirely harsh: "Yes, we lost two friends, two ideological fellow member (sic), but the world has acquired two brave, interesting, controversial human rights defenders -- fighters for the rights of the Russian prisoners."

"Unfortunately, we cannot congratulate them with this in person, because they refuse to have any contact with us."

Thought they were going to Iran and Saudi Arabia and play the mosque circuit after their debasement of a Christian Orthodox church. What happened?

Why does anyone care what these noise makers do with themselves. I know nothing about their “music” but I’m pretty sure they and their followers are nothing more than useful idiots.

Pussy Riot (formerly art-group War) explore differernt innovative ways to support prisoners and freedom of expression.

Ambassador to UN Samantha Power has defenitely liked the protest sex orgy they perfomed in public in Zoological Museum in downtown Moscow back in 2008.

IOW, the anti-capitalist feminist separatist advocates of prisoners' rights didn't do any prison time, only the two ostracized members did. Thanks a fool in paradise.

Pussy riot is a feminist wing of a neo-bolshevik group “Vojna” aka “War”. Their activity is centered against a church and law-enforcement.

Another their acts are “Dick in the ass” punk performance in a courtroom, “mentopop” performance which was about robbing a supermarket wearing a mix of police uniform and a priest’s dress, burnind down one and turning upside down another police vehicle, a series of sexual assaults on police women in subways etc.

In fact some of their “comrades” were on trial for these things before, that is there this “Dick in the ass” performance from.

You can see all these faces..
“Mordovian hour” performance on May, 1 2008 (throwing stray cats into McDonald’s kitchen to feed animals with decadent food and make low-paid workforce celebrate Labor day as they claim it):

Attacks on police cadets:

Note the song in Yiddish in background. It is a Jewish bolshevik song from October revolution, which is roughly about “!@#$ the police”.

Mentopop (robbing a supermarket wearing a mix of a priest dress and a police uniform to display inability of security guards to act vs church and LEOs who are false moral authorities due to “War” group ideology):

A “screw the feds” prank on KGB agent:

Arson on a police truck:

Another police vehicle destroyed:

And that is their promo video:

I’m not including public orgies, sex with a frozen chicken in store etc.....
