Although they’re not the imprisoned women, they don’t have to be. That’s the intention of the balaclavas – they’re meant to be anonymous, indivisible, representative. It doesn’t matter which of them got arrested. That’s the point – that they’re not individuals, they’re an idea. And that’s the thing that has gripped Russia and caught the attention of the rest of the world, too: that the Russian government has gone and arrested an idea and is prosecuting through the courts with a vindictiveness the Russian people haven’t before seen.
— Amazing article on Pussy Riot in The Guardian. Highly highly recommended reading.
