Yup, it's totally true! The evidence is overwhelming!
It's all over the news all over the world, my friends! Putin himself has suggested that leniency be in order for the Pussy Riot gals.
Here's what I wrote a few weeks ago:
Free Pussy Riot
C'mon, Mr. Putin, you've made your point, now do the right thing!
Have to admit I've been a little behind the curve on the Pussy Riot story. Had to go to YouTube to catch a performance. Musically, lets just say they're a bit rough. Sid Vicious was a virtuoso musician compared to these gals.
Their Wikipedia page presents quite an impressive reading list, although it is slewed heavily towards what used to be called post-structuralist theory. Nevertheless, they have presence and know how to get publicity. They are more performance artists than a "band".
One of these performances, staged in a church back in February, consisted of a prayer asking for divine intervention to rid the country of Putin. As a result three of the gals have been in jail ever since.
That seems a little excessive to me.

There you go. Now since Russia is a democracy with an independent judiciary and all that stuff, his word alone can't just make it happen.
But I think they've all read my blog and know which way the wind is blowing on this one:
FREE PUSSY RIOT!!!
