Pussy Riot is a Russian protest group founded in August 2011. The group received global publicity by the commercially-controlled media when five members of the group staged a performance inside Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Saviour on February 21, 2012.[1]
Activites
The group staged provocative performances in public places that were filmed as music videos and posted on the Internet. The group's lyrical themes included feminism, LGBT rights, opposition to Russian President Vladimir Putin and his policies, and Putin's links to the leadership of the Russian Orthodox Church.
