The Battle of Sochi
A squad of Kazaki took on the Pussy Riot performance artists for annoying Prince Vladimir of Moscow at his Olympic Games. A Kazak second lieutenant managed to get his picture spread around the world using a horsewhip on members of the group which happens to be almost totally female.
This resulted in a public relations problem for the Prince, so one of his ministers stepped up to announce that the lieutenant has been punished [an administrative fine, probably for being out of uniform as he lost his hat] and to say that there were no charges filed against the members of Pussy Riot for being beaten by a horsewhip in public.
I’m sure that the Kazak Ataman will complain that the problem was that the Kazaki weren’t allowed to deal with this in their traditional fashion – a mounted charge with shashki [sabers] to wipe out the protestors and anyone taking pictures.
