"Anyone can be Pussy Riot," read the screen as two representatives of the Russian collective, wearing their characteristic colorful balaclavas, filled the night with rage. On the first night of concerts during the Fiestas de la Mercè, Pussy Riot filled the Plaza de Catalunya with an audience that was initially mostly expectant and gradually became more and more involved in a stage and musical proposal that has been engaged in a direct fight against Vladimir Putin's government since 2011. The reaction was especially loud when it came to freedom. Below, in the audience, a banner demanded freedom for Vladimir Bolobolov, currently in pretrial detention in Russia.
