Eight members of an all-girl punk group called Pussy Riot wearing brightly
coloured mini-dresses and balaclavas climbed over railings onto a stone
platform next to the cathedral to sing a song called Putin Has P*****
Himself.
Russian
police stood by while the band performed the song before detaining all the
members and taking them to the nearby Kitai-Gorod police station.
Four members were later charged with the non-criminal public order offences
and disobeying police, carrying a maximum punishment of 15 days behind bars,
according to one band member who uses the nickname Garadzha Matveyeva.
In December the band gave a roof-top concert next to the police cell where
protest leader and blogger Alexei Navalny was serving a short sentence.
They have also performed in the Moscow metro.
