Pyotr Verzilov, or "Pete" as he was known when he was growing up in Canada, is certainly milking his association with Pussy Riot. His association is that he claims to be married to one of them, although whichever one that might be doesn't seem to be in a rush to confirm it.
He's getting great face time on Reuters and France 24 today with a story that two of the collective have escaped persecution in Russia. Here's a link. If you look closely at the vehicles behind him in the video clip it would appear that he has escaped Russia too.
His commitment to the anti-Putin revolution is quite admirable. That could be turned into a position at a "democracy promotion" think tank in the beltway if he plays it right.
