The Spread of Pussy Riot

Pussy Riot should have remained a relatively unknown ban, except they pissed off the Russian government.

After five of the seven staged an anti Putin protest inside a Russian Orthodox church, three of them were identified and put on trial.

The trial gave them global attention, as the band became one of the faces of the international anger with government.

The three who were placed on trial ended up receiving two year jail terms.

Four days after that, the band released a brand new anti Putin protest song, which was sent straight to the whole world.

Now the other two members who took part in the protest have fled the country, as police seek them out.

The band stated that they are going to spread through Europe, spreading their message.
