Pussy Riot

Pussy Riot is the trigger for the Web mass in Twitter and Co to get involved in Russian politics. Now, the three young women have sacrificed years of their life for this goal.

The question remains, though, why they released the trigger in a religious building.
After all they want to topple the corrupt regime around Putin and the bureaucrats, as their prcedessors like Chodorchovski did. Or is it a different motivation that lies behind the action of the three young ladies?

The orthodox church and the bureaucrats regime of Moscow are forming an alliance, so it is not obvious, which of them Pussy Riots has on its focus. They have performed their flash mob appearances on the streets of Moscow before, and were each time arested after a short while. But only in the holy place, they where accused of a serious crime "sewing of religious hatred".

Putin has to fear the Rock'n Roll attitude, because it is there to show the people, they don't need to follow unreasonable rules. On the streets of Moscow, they were merely street musicians or bums, which could be arrested by the police like it is done in every city in the world. These events were not capable to outrage the Western public.

The girls were disappointed and tried something else, to get attention. They had to provocate in a place, that is much more sacred to the establishment, than the streets. The fact, that they were successfull in a church proves, how identical the church and the regime is in Moscow. Putin regards the church belonging to his power sphere.
