Pussi Riot. Who are they?
Pussi Riot
Who are they? Eccentric teenagers who wanted to become famous by their amoral behavior, glorified protestants against the totalitarian regime of Putin who successfully managed to attract attention of whole European society to the problems of dictation in Russia or Putin’s action against opposition? The minds split.
One group of people believes that behavior of this girls was well-planned anti-Putin’s action, which should attract attention by its scandalousness. If it is, we can surely say that they have achieved their goals. None of the past protests against dictation in Russia become such famous and caused so many disputes. This action showed the real face of Russian church and the power it has. Freedom of speech is only a fairy tale for Russians.
However cathedral is not the best place to express your political opinion. It is only a fact that after this punk’s public prayer a lot of Russians reconsidered their attitude to opposition in behalf of Putin. It is possible that the aim of this operation was to depict opposition as something unserious and grotesque, something that disrespects people’s beliefs. Cathedral of Christ the Savior is very well-guarded object because of its museum which contains priceless exhibits, and I have read that in case of emergency police needs only one minute to reach it. Pussy riot managed not only to enter the cathedral in the balaclavas(which is surely forbidden) but also to bring there all of the music equipment. Then they plugged everything on, played their punk-prayer and left cathedral with no worry(still carrying all of the equipment ) by car. Despite their faces were known to government they were caught only on the third day after ‘riot’ after whole country have watched video of their song on youtube. May it be planned by government?
On the other hand majority of Russians consider “Pussy Riot” as three troubled ladies seeking attention by pushing the limit. It often happens that we make things more
