PUSSY RIOT is a feminist punk performance collective based in Moscow. Founded in 2011, they perform public artistic responses to Russian politics. In February of 2012, three members of the group were arrested and charged with felony hooliganism after performing in the sanctuary of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. Maria Alyokhina, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, and Yekaterina Samutsevich quickly became feminist icons as their arrest and trial was followed by activists and artists around the world. Despite the popular support and media attention they received, both internationally and from fellow Russians, they were found guilty in August 2012 and sentenced to two years in prison.
