In sentencing one of the members of ***** Riot, the Judge

by Ziks511 - 11/17/12 6:47 PM

Marina Syrova "read aloud from a court psychiatrist's evaluation of the band's leader, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, whom the doctor had diagnosed with an affliction he identified as "mixed-personality disorder" and characterized as involving stubbornness, "inflated self-esteem," and a "proactive approach to life.""

A teenager or a twenty something with odd personality quirks like a "proactive approach to life". Alert the media !!

Judge Syrova sentenced members of the group which is a collective of artists and members of the counter culture in Russia, to two years in a prison camp for felony hooliganism. This for a performance criticizing Premier Vladimir Putin. Anybody else detect a hint of totalitarianism in this? And Felony hooliganism? Sounds like an average Friday and Saturday night in pubs around England, or most University towns in the US.

Ah, the Sixties, it only took Russia 50 years to get there.

a moron, a potential H bomb."

It ends "No future, No future, No future for you."

I walked into School Kids Records in Ann Arbor and said "Who the f!@# is that?" and bought the single.

An incredible oupouring of rage and anger at the social and political stagnancy of Britain at the time. It was brilliant. I later re-worked the Orson Welles radio broadcast from 1939? War of the Worlds, substituting Punk for the musical breaks, I think I slipped God Save the Queen just after the announcer said "And now Ramon Raquello and his Orchestra" BOOM. It was just so much fun.
