Horse whips, pepper spray - post-communist kleptocracy at work. Is capitalist Russia really doing better than the Soviet Union? I think not. Moreover, the Olympics are not a celebration of the human capacity to achieve great things - it is rather a massive show of financial investment funding a faux sense of internationalism. Pussy Riot continually confronts this type of ideology - may they live forever.
