Pussy Riot’s new anti-Putin music video uses footage from Cossack Militia beatings
Pussy Riot released the music video for their song ‘Putin Will Teach You To Love The Motherland’ yesterday, which uses footage from a video where members of the band were whipped, sprayed in the face, struck and thrown to the ground by Cossack militia.
The footage came after the band attempted to stage a protest at the Sochi Games over anti-gay laws in Russia.
The original video was posted by the Associated Press. It shows the band members don their balaclavas and gas masks, and attempt to being singing before they are swiftly attacked by the security staff.
Two members of the group said they had already been arrested in Sochi earlier this week.
