After their arrest on Monday night, Russian police released two members of the female punk band Pussy Riot on Tuesday morning in Sochi. The two women, Maria Alyokhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, were accused of a theft at their hotel while at the Winter Olympics Games. After their release, the women donned their infamous ski masks and sang a protest song, “Putin Will Teach You to Love the Motherland,” while running down the street.

Alyokhina and Tolokonnikova previously made headlines for their arrest and two year imprisonment after a protest their band staged at a Russian Orthodox cathedral. They were convicted of hooliganism, and were released from jail in December.
