What A Bio Putin Is Creating For Pussy Riot

Back in 1964, when a Soviet court in Leningrad sentenced the writer and future Nobel laureate Joseph Brodsky to five years of hard labor for «social parasitism,» the poet Anna Akhmatova was among the first to see the upside.

“What a biography they’ve created for our little redhead,» Akhmatova said. «You’d think he’d hired them.”

And while comparing Pussy Riot to Brodsky, one of world’s great writers, is more than a stretch, it is fair to say that the Kremlin has indeed created a quite a biography for these women.

Once an obscure performance art act, they are now global stars with the dignity that comes with being oppressed.

And then there are the charges against them, the crime they are accused of committing, and the reasons for their controversial action at the Cathedral of Christ the Savior.

The group’s performance in the cathedral on February 21 — shortly before Vladimir Putin’s reelection as president — was an attempt to draw attention to the close ties between the Kremlin leader and the Russian Orthodox Church and to protest what they consider Russian Patriarch Kirill’s inappropriate support for Putin in the election.

Contrary to most reports, the women apparently didn’t actually play a concert in the church. According to a video released by their lawyers,

they stood in front of the altar and mimed their performance there and later spliced in the music and lyrics of their anti-Putin «punk prayer» — «Mother of God, Banish Putin» — to produce the now-famous final clip.

In the days after the clip was posted on YouTube it was only watched by several hundred people. After they were detained and charged following an outcry by Orthodox officials, it shot up to over a million (and counting). It went viral, in other words, thanks largely to the authorities.
