The Russian punk-protest group Pussy Riot had pledged for months to seek to disrupt the Sochi Olympics, and has begun carrying through on that promise. But the group's latest attempt at a protest was dismantled almost before it began.

One day after members of the loosely-connected group were questioned in connection with some suspected thefts at a Sochi hotel, Pussy Riot gathered at a restaurant in downtown Sochi, about 20 miles from the Olympic village. The band attempted to begin performing, but was set upon by whip-wielding Cossack militiamen.

You mean they still have cossacks? Wow.

[Biggirl]

No wonder I would compare the Russians to the Klingtons from time to time.

[massgopguy]

Looks more like a rented “Cossack” suit.

Plus, you either need to shave the armpits regularly, or let em grow. Five ‘O Clock shadow is not a good look in that location.

[NFHale]

ya just can’t make this stuff up...

[Biggirl]

Yep.

When I think of the word “cossacks”, I think of Russia of the 18-19th, very early 20th century. Not now.

The Cossacks are making a comeback here. They patrol the streets here alongside the police. Usually you see them on patrol in teams of three.

No, the media gives them exposure. Russia should make them vanish.

Putin wishes he could make all his enemies vanish, just like he did in the old days when he was KGB.

Pussy Riot is Russia’s Westboro Baptist Church. With better videos.

No I have never watched or heard PR.

Looks staged to me. I’m thinking performance art.

[meatloaf]

Slavic: thick legs, wide hips. Some of the best women in the world. Just don’t get them pissed at you.

Sorry... but I saw that HBO movie of them. They arrested one screaming pussy rioter (complete with mask) as she climbed up on a fence calling for men having sex with men privileges and other such nonsense. I thought it was funny as all heck.

There's a good candidate for a ski mask.
