Lesley Stahl Has a Hard Time Saying 'Pussy' During 60 Minutes Interview With Pussy Riot Members
Latest
One of the women from Russian feminist punk band Pussy Riot is living in hiding after she escaped prosecution for protesting Vladimir Putin on the altar of Moscow’s Christ the Savior Cathedral; last night she spoke with Lesley Stahl on 60 Minutes while in disguise, wearing a balaklava, the group’s trademark mask. She says she agreed to the interview to let the world know that the band still exists (60 Minutes shot B-roll of some of the members rehearsing), but that she also sees the interview as a form of protest, and hopes the government sees it that way too.
