pussy riot

[E Wayles Browne]

Amnesty International (www.amnesty.org<http://www.amnesty.org>) and in particular Amnesty International USA (http://www.amnestyusa.org/) have devoted a lot of attention to the Pussy Riot case, and have in fact enlisted a great many musicians and celebrities to make public statements in support of the three women. You can see the list (from Sting to several anonymous cats, with links to audio-visuals) at http://pussyriot.amnestyusa.org/join.php .

Dear Pusseelangers,


We are about to have a symposium on Pussy Riot at Vanderbilt.  There's going to be a round-table with academics from various disciplines discussing the significance of the phenomenon and its implications:  cultural, political, ethical, etc.

The Russian department is responsible for providing the specifically Russian context and we are responsible for organizing a number of events around the round-table.  And here I would love to get your advice. I know that there's a new film on Pussy Riot but it's not available just yet to be screened.

Do you have any advice on a good documentary film that illustrates the contemporary political situation in Russia?

Perhaps you could direct me also to interesting writing, discussions, or articles that were produced after the infamous incident?

In short any direction towards secondary sources (in any media) would be greatly appreciated.

Much obliged,
Sasha.
