What's in a name? What is the exact power of words? These questions come to mind when contemplating this band of Russian women who were arrested and imprisoned by Vlad the Mad for staging a protest/songfest in a church. Mr. Putin does not take kindly to protesters. After all, when your roots are with the KGB, any challenges to authority must be dealt with harshly and quickly. After significant bad press worldwide, the chest-baring narcissist Putin released the girls who immediately started badmouthing the government.
Where are they now? Two of them have taken their act on the road: that would be the US of A. In Vanity Fair to be exact. In a feature page, Nadya Tolokonnikova and Masha Alyokhina grace the current edition in bold colored gauzy costumes: pink and claret red, and lemon and lime. They look great: very Russian, very hip, and comfortably feminine.
They are onto something and are getting good old American advice. Keep up the good work, it's driving Vlad the Mad to the frozen vodka bottle.
