Russian Militia Attacks Punk Group

Members of the punk group Pussy Riot, including Nadezhda Tolokonnikova in the aqua balaclava, center, and Maria Alekhina in the red balaclava, left, perform next to the Olympic rings in Sochi, Russia, earlier today. Cossack militia attacked the punk group with horsewhips earlier in the day as the artists — who have feuded with Vladmir Putin’s government for years — tried to perform under a sign advertising the Sochi Olympics.
