Vlad Putin's Cossack Storm Troopers Brutally Attack Pussy Riot

 

You can take the man out of the KGB but you can’t take the KGB out of former KGB officer, former president, former prime minister, and current president of Russia, aka the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin.

Sochi Olympics or no, the one certainty about Russia today is that nothing significant ever happens in what used to be the “Workers’ Paradise” without ol’ Vlad knowing about it and/or ordering it.

Maybe Putin was pissed that the Russian hockey team was beaten by the Americans and then eliminated by Finland from medal contention.  Maybe he was  annoyed with Ukranians demonstrating they didn’t want anything to do with him or Russia despite being bribed.  Maybe it was just the Sochi slush.  

In any event, after officials detained some of them on Tuesday, his storm trooper Cossacks were dispatched to, shall we say, discourage members of the Russian punk rock group Pussy Riot from staging a musical protest on Wednesday.

Not among the president’s fan club to begin with after two members were imprisoned in 2012 for performing a “punk prayer” asking the Virgin Mary to save Russia from Putin, six Pussy Rioters wearing their usual ski masks were viciously assaulted by ten Cossack militiamen and unidentified assistants who used horsewhips, their fists, and their feet as the small group was trying to set up under a Sochi Olympics sign near City Hall. . . .  (Read more and see the video at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=35859.)
