Pussy Riot is a Russian feminist performance art group formed in late 2011. Three alleged members of the group were detained for “hoolaganism”, now only two are imprisoned. They face 2 years prison time for their protest for human rights. More information can be obtained from this awesome website and their About page.
The Russian courts rejected complaints over Madonna breaking Russian law “banning the promotion of ‘homosexual propaganda’ to minors”. Madonna spoke in support for Pussy Riot and Gay Rights, during a concert this summer. Apparently gunning for equal rights in Russia leads to a rise in divorce rates and the “destruction of a nation”.
