Natasha Lennard writes about the process of the polemic issue of the Pussy Riot's members imprisionment after their guerilla performance on February. She opens the article informing the reader about the court appearance that will happen next Monday. Lennard then informs the reader with some background of the women's arrest. Following the background information is the perspective of the world toward this imprisionment: "as a symbol of repression and authoritarianism in Putin’s Russia." She closes the article with a hopeless tone, mentioning one of the women's father and his opinion and expectations for Monday's trial.

Lennard's intentions with this article are to inform the reader not only about the court appearence the Pussy Riot members will attend on the first of October, but also to call attention to these antique, non-democratic Russian way to deal with modern issues. Although the author doesn't explicitly shares her opinion on the author, the hopeless, critical tone along with testimonials from the victim's parents and the sharing of the world's "not-so-positive" wordlview show her disapproval of the Russian government's attitudes.
