If they want attention? Writing "bravery" in quotation marks? Are you serious?
"The main motive might be media attention itself" ?
I take it that you don't know much about what takes place over there or what this "band" does and have only seen that youtube clip? And that you don't know much about the the world in general? You don't have to confirm.
They are brave to do what they do and let the world see what kind of censorship and discrimination people have to put up with. It's about human rights, which is something way more than "politics" that DP wrote above.
Having to spend years in prison for saying bad things about Putin, and people being officially discriminated and beaten up in the streets for being lesbian/gay seems like something from the 1800s, yet this is what happens in Russia 2014.

Indeed.
I agree with you 100%. Disgraceful behaviour. I just wish some countries had the balls to withdraw from the Winter Olympics in protest.
I think the last thing they want is being blessed by anyone.
You know I agree, Erik.
But Bjørnulf will close this thread in a flash anyway.
People better study the situation over there for themselves before making light-hearted comments, something that certainly wasn't my intention here.

Members of the punk group Pussy Riot were whipped by cossacks yesterday
when they tried to perform a concert in Sotji. What do we think of this?

Par for the course for uppity women, sadly. Yeah, they're being provocative on purpose, but that shouldn't be an appropriate response, IMO.

Well, the reaction is not appropriate of course, but well,how much of their "art" is about purposely provoking this kind of reaction in order to attract attention? If they were not in Russa, they would not get this kind of reaction and nobody would ever hear about them. But I don't really know anything about them, since I don't care, so I don't want to judge neither side. I don't want to get political (which is pretty much impossible in this case), it is just that I am not very fond of this kind of "bravery," where the main motive might be just the media attention itself. I don't know.
On a more technical note - is it appropriate to call it a concert? The audience were those ten or so policemen and a number of people I could count on my fingers who were taking pictures and video with their cell phones.

Actually were was Pussy Riot supposed to play without a PA and amps?

It makes you want to get in there and help them. Especially to give that abusive midget guy a good whack. But really, whipping girls, and in public view? A bunch of cowards. Lots of ways to handle the situation but that was not one of them.

Yes Pussy Riot is provoking the situation but they are showing the world the oppression that exists in today's Russia. Not unlike the "Occupy Wall Street" movement peaceful protest is met with batons and bloodshed of our youth. Whatever happened to the police rule of equal force, these kids were no physical threat yet blows were landed and faces cracked...I refuse to dismiss this as deserved or politics and side with those who are angered when younger generations are beat into submission while posing no threat to anyone. Thanks for posting, pass this on..Quote
