International / Crap Pussy Riot Verdict: Two Years
Posted by Grant Brissey on Fri, Aug 17, 2012 at 9:04 AM
The verdict just in:
Judge Marina Syrova convicted the women of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred, saying they had "crudely undermined social order" [and that] Maria Alyokhina, 24, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 22, and Yekaterina Samutsevich, 29, had offended the feelings of Orthodox believers and shown a "complete lack of respect".
That the decision comes as little surprise makes it no less crappy. Still, the women smiled and shrugged as it was read. Obviously, they still win at everything.
Emily Nokes wrote at length about Pussy Riot in this week's music lead.
The story has received massive international coverage and created a groundswell of support for the collective.
