Pussy Riot: Punk-Prayer
01min.
On 21 February 2012 "Pussy Riot", the Russian feminist punk band, performs a 'punk-prayer' with the chorus "Virgin Mary, Become Feminist / Virgin Mary, Hash Putin Away" at the altar of the Christ the Savior cathedral in Moscow. The 'prayer' lasts for less than a minute after which the band members are removed from the church by guards.
In the following days the Russian Orthodox Church initiates a criminal case against "Pussy Riot", charging the band with 'hooliganism', a crime that comes with a maximum sentence of seven years in prison. The Federal Security Service?s (FSB) Special Department on Terrorism takes on the case, while some Orthodox Christian activists report the names of the alleged band members online. A massive public smear-campaign against the "blasphemous women" starts.
