Gee, I can’t figure out why some people in Ukraine wouldn’t want to be economically beholden to Russia. I’m well aware of the notable fascist role in the Ukraine protest movement. I’m also well aware of what Putin does to the Russian people, and here it is on video for the whole world to see. Obama is coming to take away your guns you say, teabaggers? You should pray every night that someday you could have a fraction of the guts Pussy Riot has.
Never fear, though, the local authorities have it under control.
Krasnodar region governor Alexander Tkachev promised to conduct a “thorough probe” into the incident and prosecute the attackers. Tkachev said in comments carried by the Interfax news agency that the views of Pussy Riot “are not supported by the majority of people in the region” but stressed the importance of abiding the law.
Later on Wednesday, Tolokonnikova, Alekhina and two others held another surprise mini-performance in central Sochi, this time next to Olympic rings in front of the City Hall.Jumping up and down, one playing a plastic guitar, they sang-shouted in Russian: “Putin will teach you how to love the motherland!” A person dressed as one of the Olympic mascots joined them for a moment in an apparent joke.
Those troublemaking punk rockers! Now Putin’s boys will have to figure out which underpaid Olympic mascot was joining in and dancing and beat the living shit out of them, too.
