P Riot: whose freedom, whose riot?

5. And it also appears spun to inflame feminists

First let me say that I am glad to read the OP. Both reading it and looking into a few details has been very interesting. Clearly Voina is exploiting women to get their message out. And we note that PR is not spelled in Cyrilic so it wasn't intended for domestic consumption in Russia but for raising our english speaking interest. We should recognize that both Voina and the Kremlin are engaging in a propaganda war to influence English speaking audiences. And I suspect this piece was edited by the later because;

We are implied that Tolokonnikova is supposedly in Kiev with a chicken a year after her Moscow section and the Kiev section split. And there is no confirmation that she was there.

St. Petersburg, in which a woman stole a chicken from a supermarket by stuffing it in her vagina, is sometimes cited by detractors of Pussy Riot. However, there is no evidence that members of Moscow-based Pussy Riot participated in this action

It also appears that only two of the supposed 11-15 members of PR are members of Voina and believed to be women of 20-33yrs of age. And we have Tolokonnikova's letter from prison denouncing her husband for claiming to be spokesperson for PR.
