Pussy Riot

On February 21, 2012, five members of the group staged a performance on the soleas of Moscow’s Cathedral of Christ the Savior.^[5] Their actions were stopped by church security officials. By evening, they had turned it into a music video entitled “Punk Prayer - Mother of God, Chase Putin Away!”.^[6] The women said their protest was directed at the Orthodox Church leader’s support for Putin during his election campaign.

On March 3, 2012, two of the group members, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina, were arrested and charged with hooliganism. A third member, Yekaterina Samutsevich, was arrested on March 16. Denied bail, they were held in custody until their trial began in late July. On August 17, 2012, the three members were convicted of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred, and each was sentenced to two years imprisonment.
