Live from Moscow
My source:
Opinion here very divided. Lots upset with what PR did. Immature, disrespectful. Don’t appreciate foreign busy bodies showing off.
While PR act condemned, think govt over-reacting. Sympathy for young girls, especially those with kids.
Rolls together with overall sense of Putin becoming imperial, plus general crack down on free expression. Although, press here very candid.
While lots of bar chatter about this, talkers are cautious. Want to know where you stand before they talk.
In the car. Lots of streets blocked by police.
Heavy police presence, chanting crowd (free pussy riot), lots of media.
