Pussy Riot is free! The western world has poured out support for these daring punk rock feminists in their pursuit for life, liberty, and so on and so forth in their underdog fight against Soviet Premier Bond villain Russian President Vladimir Putin, and you should be overjoyed. At least, that's the narrative dominating American media. Unfortunately, says Zenon Evans, this reductive view of the affair overlooks the damage groups like Pussy Riot may do to the cause of freedom—and the group's own disregard for liberal values.
