What a bunch of cowardly men. So what exactly were they doing wrong that warranted whipping?
Misbehaving and being a woman at the same time?  Sad


Sadly it seems that way. Although what they were doing didn't really seem like 'misbehaving' to me.

Pussy Riot: Putin Will Teach You to Love the Motherland [MUSIC VIDEO]

http://www.theguardian.com/music/video/2014/feb/20/pussy-riot-putin-teach-love-motherland-music-video

"Russian agit-punk band Pussy Riot's music video for their new song, Putin Will Teach You to Love the Motherland. The release of the video coincides with the Winter Olympics in Sochi. The lyrics attack President Vladimir Putin's human rights record, while the video depicts the women in trademark brightly-coloured balaclavas, protesting in Sochi and being arrested by police."

Respect for Pussy Riot, but I am afraid they are digging they own grave with those happenings. This is Russia, they will be killed someday, and they already been in lagr...
Agreed. I think it wouldn't be too hard for them to find a country that would grant them asylum, and then they'd be much safer to protest against what's happening in Russia: basically, it's like the ascension of the Nazi party all over again - only this time they have nukes.

At first, other countries didn't worry much when Hitler seized the power and made sure to change the laws so that he'd have complete control over everything, or when he started persecuting, incarcerating and killing those who opposed him. They even (mostly) left him alone when he started invading neighbouring countries... and then it was too late and we all know how it all ended up.

As always, an essental part of the whole process involves setting up a powerful propaganda machine to demonize specific groups, to convince the people that those groups are their enemies and responsible for whatever bad things are happening in the country.

Putin is clearly smarter than Hitler was, and has certainly learnt a lesson or two from his predecessors in the history of dictatorship, but sooner or later he'll snap - they all do.
