You beat me to it Deltics. That didn't take long...
I'd say so…based on their performance in the church.
They are speaking what need to be spoken….good for them.

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.
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.
edit: yes I know I edited it 5 times, I don't want to get banned for being "political" here so I have to weigh my words
Well said!

Tolokonnikova must be a burden for Putin though. And she can't just disappear like so many other dissidents. There is to much international media attention for that.
There is some Stones connection to this or at least to three Stones songs I can think of: Streetfighting Man (women?), When the Whip Comes Down and Play With Fire...

ChrisMThat was the purpose I think. To get attention and to show the world that this is what life in Russia can be like. This clip will almost certainly end up in of their videos, hence no ampflication.Quote

Now if the Cossaks could walk on the Femen movement now... 
I'm tired of seeing these broads flashing their tits in European churches and I'm tired of seeing them "analysing" (ahem) the Ukrainian riots each time I turn my TV on (I'm in Europe).

Tyrants need to go. Putin is a vile human being. God bless Pussy Riot.
I think the last thing they want is being blessed by anyone.
I'd say so…based on their performance in the church.
They are speaking what need to be spoken….good for them.
