Pussy Riot Detained, Released, Then Chased in Sochi

SOCHI, February 18 (Alexey Eremenko, RIA Novosti) – When five masked Pussy Riot activists emerged from a Sochi police precinct, they broke into a song titled “[Russian President Vladimir] Putin Will Teach You to Love the Motherland.”

An improvised press conference in the middle of the street followed, to the mad honking of blocked traffic. After an encore of the song, the activists sprinted over to a taxi stand where they all were driven away, without removing their masks, by impassive grizzled cabbies.

These girls apparently need to learn to concentrate. As I recall, the Russians have camps where these girls can be sent to learn this valuable life skill.

Press whores making a story where none should exist. Sounds about right.

A group with a name like that should be outlawed.

May our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ show them—and all of us sinners—the way of humility as we approach the beginning of the Great Fast!!!!

Amen!

It is always the right season to pray the prayer of St. Ephraim.

Apparantly they have a squadron of Cossacks in Sochi as a kind of riot-control.

Follow up.

A video of what happend: http://nyhederne.tv2.dk/udland/2014-02-19-pussy-riot-aktion-stoppet-med-pisk-og-peberspray-0
It took one Cossack - and a whip - to end the show.
(14 sec advert first).

I happen to love music so I can’t say I appreciate Pussy Riot’s performance...
