Pussy Riot Whipped

The Cossacks have entered into the Olympic spirit at Sochi by seeing how hard and fast they can disperse a Pussy Riot peformance. They used horsewhips on the girls to disperse them. Shown is Nadezhda Tolokonnikova being dragged by a Cossack. Below she has been punched to the ground and is surrounded by Cossacks. Was it an Olympic record, lads? Will President Putin give the Cossack team gold medals? Or will you be disqualified for allowing world press to capture your brutal assault, which gave us these enduring images of the Russian Mafia's Winter Olympic Games 2014?
