Pussy Riot mocks Putin on Colbert: ‘We don’t want a shirtless man on a horse leading us’

Colbert asked Nadya Tolokonnikova and Masha Alyokhina about their arrests and imprisonment for performing a protest song at a Russian Orthodox Church, whose leadership had supported Vladimir Putin’s presidential campaign.

“We sang a fun song in a church,” Tolokonnikova said. “Yes, and seemingly we broke [the law] many times before that because we had a lot of fun songs. One of them was called ‘Putin Piss Off.’”

........................

Colbert told the women they seemed nice, but he didn’t understand why they would oppose Putin, who he described as a “strong man” who was “just trying to preserve the peace and bring Russia into a brighter future.”


“We have different ideas about a bright future, and we don’t want a shirtless man on a horse leading us to that,” Tolokonnikova said.

They rode around on horses, occasionally without shirts, and they crushed all who stood in their path.

He had to have his desk specially designed - and he told me how hard it was to be a shirtless man on a horse. So I've always felt a bit of sympathy towards shirtless men on horses.

I am not keen on Putin, of course, but in general I wish shirtless men on horses well.

Don't suppose Tolokonnikova got round to discussing whether or not anal sex in a public is ok in the USA or not.

Can't post a link because they've all got graphic pictures - easy to search though for Tolokonnikova public anal sex museum
