Little time this week, unfortunately, for me to keep up with the Pussy Riot conviction (as promised here<\/a>) or anything else. But I recommend Charles Cameron’s series of posts (six so far, and counting) over at Zenpundit,<\/a> including his annotated summary<\/a> of their closing statements. The statements themselves<\/a> are very lucid and articulate, as one should expect from women who can quote Rosi Braidotti *AND* Nicolai Berdyaev.<\/p>\n

To get a sense of what the PR girls are up against, have a listen to radical traditionalist philosopher Aleksandr Dugin on the “holy war” Pussy Riot have started. “Geopolitician” Dugin’s political advice gets into Putin’s inner circles,<\/a> even if Dugin’s attitudes toward Putin himself have sometimes been ambivalent.<\/p>\n
