"Punk Prayer"
"Punk Prayer" is a provocative performance by the Russian feminist punk band Pussy Riot, where they staged a vigil in Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Savior in 2012. They expressed opposition to Russia's political climate, government corruption, and the influence of the Orthodox Church on politics. Their act combined punk music, art, and activism to challenge authority and promote free expression. The performance led to the arrest and imprisonment of some members, drawing international attention to issues of free speech and government repression in Russia.
