Pussy Riot’s imprisonment for staging a performance in Moscow’s Cathedral of Christ the Saviour outraged all of establishment Russia. The particular grievance that motivated them towards this act of doubtable blasphemy, (three members were convicted of ‘hooliganism motivated by religious hatred’), was that they didn’t agree with the Orthodox Church politically aligning itself with Vladimir Putin. Anyway, long story short, they’re out now and they’ve crafted this Orwellian banger. No clues for guessing who their new targets are. It’s exhilarating to hear them refusing to compromise on their politicised art while still crafting top shelf bangers. You’ll wanna reload this one when it’s done.
