The anarchist zine Profane Existence slogan was "Making Punk a Threat Again", which is a motto that Russian anarcho-feminist collective Pussy Riot have lived up to. The band itself, a spiritual and musical kin to Bikini Kill and their Riot Grrl ilk, are on trial for launching a guerrilla protest against the dictatorial actions of Russian leader Vladamir Putin at a Russian Orthodox Church.
The fact these women are on trial and facing years in jail for this protest is itself criminal. Of course, this very threat of being jailed as dissidents proves to the wider world how far towards the dictatorial Putin has moved and how enmeshed in his power-grab the Russian Church is.
