It’s hard to resist the name Pussy Riot, boasting a provocatively coy blend of sensuality and anger, but some people still find it too inflammatory. Russian President Vladimir Putin is evidently one of those people, given how noticeably he recoils in an interview when asked to discuss the “disgusting” name. While it would make sense for a governing authority like Putin to fear a band with the word “riot” in its name – especially one that has no problem emasculating the president in their own punk anthems – it is amusing to watch him clench up as he approaches the word “pussy.” Way to “pussy-foot” around something so insignificant, Mr. Putin.
Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer, timed for a theatrical and DVD release during Russian Olympic fervor (and furor), is a documentary about three members of the feminist punk outlet who became international icons after authorities detained them after a performance stunt.
