Pussy Riot

So who are Pussy Riot?
They’re a militant feminist punk band who stage unsanctioned guerrilla concerts at various public venues in protest at Vladimir Putin’s rule. They describe themselves as a mix of leftists, liberals and anarchists united by a wide range of causes: feminism, the promotion of civil society, human, civil and LGBT rights, opposition to political centralisation and “the evil crooks of the Putinist junta”. They cite Simone De Beauvoir, Andrea Dvorkin, Emily Pankhurst, Shulamith Firestone, Judith Butler and Rosi Braidotti as intellectual inspirations.
