I wished those ignorants, especially foreign musicians who applaud these prostitutes would know much better on their ugly affairs they performed. Here, in Russia, its so ridiculous to hear the voices of support of some filthy and blunt girls, coming from "celebrities" by which they just play their ordinary role - as they don`t know anything about them!!! Just the fun! Idiots! Please, don`t take their examples!

What's all the fuss about? We had the sex pistols. Johnny Rotten now sells butter on tv, so kids try and shock the establishment. Well, there's a surprise. Don't worry, it's just a phase.

"how long do the authorities get to hold you in russia without a trial?  this happened in february right?  wow am i glad to be an american"

In the USA, after having been charged with an offence, as have been the members of "P***y Riot"in Russia, one must be presented to a court on one's charge within 72 hours of one's arrest.

The above criteria having been met, the processing of a "speedy trial" begins, which trial must take place within 90 days.

HOWEVER, certain extenuating circumstances may delay this process. The prosecution may request, and be granted, additional time to gather the evidence in the case and prepare for trial; what is more likely to occur, though, is that the defence attorney requests a "continuance" (i.e. a delay in the proceedings) so that the defence can prepare for the trial.

As long as the defence attorney continues to request or, as the case may be, agrees to continuances, the trial can be postponed.

On condition that these requests and grants are made part of the court record, delays resulting from such requests for or grants of continuance may occur several times.

I really do hope that "jake", who is, apparently, extremely pleased about the accident of nature that has resulted in his being a citizen of the USA, does not find this answer to the question that he posed above too difficult to comprehend.
