London is the place to be...because of the Olympics.
Even 2 topless Femen protesters were there...and so was President Putin.
Asked about the proper punishment for the 3 punk protesters from Pussy Riot on trial for hooliganism...Putin told Russian reporters that their punishment must 'not be very severe.'
But he called their stunt...'no good.'
Are Russians following the London Olympics?
Of course!
But many are also captivated by the ongoing Pussy Riot punksters trial.
Seating inside the Moscow courtroom is impossible to get...but the internet reports every word of testimony...against the 3 young women...arrested for their 51 second anti-Putin protest song inside the main Russian Orthodox cathedral in February
Originally...the trial was scheduled to be broadcast...but the judge suddenly pulled the plug.
A bomb threat interrupted testimony Thursday.
