Pussy Riot Members Attacked…in a Russian McDonalds

March 8, 2014 Alan Cross 0 Comments

Nadya Tolokonnikova and Masha Alekhina, who may or may not be members of Pussy Riot (there’s some dispute), are still stirring up shit at home in Russia. While in a McDonald’s in the city of Nizhny Novgorod, they had green paint and trash thrown at them.

I don’t have a translation for this video, but according to an article in The Guardian, the two claim that the attack was instigated by Russian police and that they both suffered chemical burns.
