MUSIC VIDEO: NEW PUSSY RIOT “Putin Will Teach You How to Love (Your Mothercountry)”
Posted by Amy Steele in Music on February 21, 2014
last night Pussy Riot released their latest video called “Putin Will Teach You How to Love (Your Mothercountry).”
it features severe acts of beating by both uniformed Cossacks and other security against members of Pussy Riot, including recently-released-from-prison Maria Alyokhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, as they attempted to perform in Sochi.
Pussy Riot is brave and won’t be stopped and it’s amazing.
