In less than three years, Pussy Riot has morphed from a little-known feminist protest band to an international cause celeb-re. As its two jailed members are freed from prison under an-amnesty, we chronicle the group's story. Pussy Riot was founded in 2011. They shot to greater prominence after appearing in Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Savior in February of 2012 to perform an obscenity-laced song called "Punk Prayer", which attacked the Orthodox Church's support for President Vladimir Putin. The group caused a stir at the 2014 Winter Olympics when they interrupted the Sochi Winter Olympics.
