- D4 X: |7 a# D2 K4 F& y《衛報》的評論員SuzanneMoore說，Pussy Riot提醒我們革命永遠由文化開始，觀念是難以抵擋的。許多年前讀張鐵志的《聲音與憤怒》，總是記得其副題「搖滾樂能夠改變世界嗎？」就如從前捷克的PlasticPeople of the Universe，搖滾樂能改變世界——當它走出搖滾樂的範圍，從將（表演）藝術變成抗議，到將抗議轉化成藝術形式本身。記者也會問PussyRiot她們幹的是藝術或是政治，她們就回答﹕對我們而言兩者是同一回事。她們也說所有的演唱將成為純粹的異見，告訴人們戴頭套穿緊身褲的漫畫英雄在莫斯科的公共空間出現。不知為何，Pussy Riot的藝術文化能量，總是讓人想起近日上映的一齣香港電影。Pussy Riot打正旗號用上女性生殖器的俏皮名字，相對於那電影中出現無數次的女性生殖器，讓人發現，所謂「低俗」本來可以是一種武器來，文化既能是所謂喜劇也可以是英雄片。 7 W1 G T6 j+ m" {TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。 ( Z, m7 t( K& x- J, m8 a: Bos.tvboxnow.comTVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。9 G# D* P& b' |8 k

You pride yourself on your popularity, your sense of history, and the fact that you personify the destiny of your country (or so you keep telling yourself). A criminal court sentences three young women, two of them mothers, to two years in prison for staging a 40-second punk feminist stunt inside your country's official church and the world's social network sites go mad. Two years of gulag for Vladimir Putin's enemies, they scream. Demonstrations erupt on the streets outside your embassies. Ageing celebs queue patiently to condemn you. There is even someone offering knitting patterns for Pussy Riot's balaclavas. The punk feminist band becomes a global brand before it even releases its first album and you a pariah so sullen that not even botox conceals your scowls. Mr Putin did not so much shoot himself in the foot on Friday, as fire a Kalashnikov into his size 8s.; f: j* g m# b2 I% F

An opinion poll released by the independent Levada research group found that only 6% of Russians polled sympathised with the women and 51% felt either indifference, irritation or hostility. Similar umbrage would have been taken inside St Paul's or the Vatican.And those who doubt that may well wonder what tension would have been caused by a flash-mob invading a mosque at Friday prayers.公仔箱論壇+ ~8 D! |" B7 u7 Y8 V; s

) M& A2 t$ t& tBut the wish to crush political dissent, in this way and at this time, is Mr Putin's alone. Pussy Riot had two points to make, both of them valid: that the Orthodox Church provides intellectual and religious cover for Mr Putin's increasingly messianic political brand; and that this man is driving Russia straight up a cul de sac.The agent of stability is becoming the obstacle to change. The omens are not good. Mr Putin has no policies to offer a generation that has been politically awakened. He is not ready for dialogue with any part of country,and he is all about reinforcing central control. He has lost his grip on his popular image so he is forced back on an essentially conservative base. The result is that in his third term as president, Mr Putin has a real problem re-establishing himself as a leader for Russia as a whole.. ^& W- V6 }. U; t

The Pussy Riot trial will not be the last. Criminal prosecutions will become the weapon of choice against political activists like the anti-corruption blogger Aleksei Navalny, journalists who face stiffer penalties for libel,websites, or foreign-funded NGOs. Of course the world reaction is selective and partial. Would that Sergei Magnitsky, the lawyer whose corruption investigation led to his death in prison, have produced the same reaction as the Pussy Riot verdict. That does not change the verdict that all Mr Putin has to offer the next demonstration, called for September, is a bigger stick. . f7 h0 g; t!

It need not be this way. Mr Putin still has time to climb out of the hole he has dug himself into. He could call early parliamentary elections, because it was the rigged Duma elections last year that triggered the current crisis. He could let a popularly elected prime minister run the country. He could retreat from the political frontline, and still fashion a role for himself as father of the nation. To continue as he is doing, as the only and increasingly unsteady hand on Russia's tiller, spells disaster.作者: aa00 時間: 2012-8-19 08:22 PM
