Pussy Riot play in Moscow disrupted twice
The performance of a play about the embattled Russian protest group Pussy Riot was interrupted in Moscow when immigration officials approached the Swiss director to demand his travel documents.Immigration authorities confirmed they had entered the Andrei Sakharov Museum, where the play was being staged, and determined that director Milo Rau was holding a business visa that did not allow for work activity. The play was later disrupted again when Orthodox activists and Cossacks gathered outside the venue to protest what they claimed was the plays antireligious content. The play, called The Moscow Trials, portrays the story of last years trial of three Pussy Riot members for hooliganism after staging a protest against Vladimir Putin in Moscows Christ the Savior Cathedral.
