• • Read the following article and answer the questions:

  Three members of Russian punk band Pussy Riot have gone to prison for two years after they guided an anti-Vladimir Putin protest in a Moscow cathedral.

  Judge Marina Syrova convicted the women of vandalism motivated by religious hatred, saying they had "crudely damaged social order". The women say the protest, in February, was directed at the Russian Orthodox Church leader's support for Mr Putin. The US, UK and EU all criticized the sentences as "disproportionate". Prosecutors have sought a three-year jail sentence for the women. Judge Syrova said the singers offended the feelings of Orthodox believers and shown a "complete lack of respect"."Tolokonnikova, Alyokhina and Samutswich committed vandalism - in other words, a grave violation of public order," she said.
