New, politically charged Pussy Riot video attacks government corruption

Russian activist group and former political prisoners Pussy Riot don’t appear to have been cowed by their headline-making two-year prison stint. The art collective has just released its most withering public condemnation/pop-rap track yet, “Chaika.” A reference to Yuri Chaika, Russia’s current prosecutor-general, the video sees the group dress in totalitarian regalia, dance-torture bag-headed prisoners, and deliver lyrics about how to succeed in Russia (“You wanna get away with murder? Be loyal to your boss”), all while miming hand signals that reference a homophone (seagull) for Chaika’s name.
