Pussy RIot is the group of feminist Russian artists who protest against the illegal activity of Vladimir Putin. (Русская версия Pussy Riot более подробна.)

The most famous video made with participation of Pussy RIot is Pank–Moleben Feb. 21st, 2012 [1]. About of 10 seconds (by other estimates, 20 seconds) of that video were recorded in the commercial center Khram of Christ Saiver at Moscow, reportedly, The 10 figilants of the "Khram" pretend to be seriously mentally injured by the performance by 5 artists; with this pretext, 3 artists Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Yekaterina Samutsevich and Maria Alekhina are jailed. Such a punishment is believed to be revival of inquisition in Russia. The lowers of vigilants claim that artists are related with Satan.

Judge Marina Syrova handles the trail against the artists in the Khamivnichesky court (Хамовнический суд, Хамсуд) since summer of 2012. Syrova is reported to abuse the artists and eyewitnesses of the defense, as well as journalists. Some documents against the artists are believed to be false. Vladimir Putin and Kiril Gundiaev are believed to be masterminds of the trail; so, there are no hopes for the correct and prudent consideration.

The Pussy Riot trail become an event of the world–wide scale [2][3][4][5]. Some links (including those to the sites in English) about the world-wide reaction are available also in the Руссиан article 10 секунд, которые потрясли мир (10 seconds that shake the World).

The prosecutors want to jail the artists for 3 years. The English translations of some speeches at the court are available [6].

The Pussy Riot trial took place at the Khamovnichesky court.

The accusation had been prepared by Artem Ranchenkov.

The judge is Marina Syrova. The condeming sentence is announced August 17.

The court is qualified as inquisition. Many people plan to come to the building of the court in order to express their opinions about the modern inquisition. Similar actions are planned in many other places [7].

The mission of Pussy Riot is compared to that of Jesus Christ: both are blamed in "violating the sacred" [8].

The English translations of the video–records from the Khamovnichesku court are available at youtube [9].

The artists of group Pussy RIot are listed among the "Top 100 Global Thinkers." [10].
