From altar to oil rig, protest group Pussy Riot have released a new video in which they turn their sights on the Russian oil industry and how it’s run by the country’s president, Vladimir Putin.
Wearing their trademark bright masks, the members of the punk band can be seen taking over oil rigs, dancing on pipelines and performing on top of a petrol station.
It is the band’s first official upload in nearly a year, with four members of the group appearing, with two of the members remaining in jail following their famous Church protest back in February 2012.
