Nadia and Masha in Vanity Fair (<--- link)
I accidentally got a lot of hits to this blog, seems like such a long time ago, when I posted something about these women who had done an un-permitted performance piece in St. Basil's Cathedral. I don't think they'd been imprisoned at that point. The theme of feminine power and vulnerability in this blog started with that post. It hasn't really been my bailiwick. In my reading of the situation, they aren't doing any of this to demonstrate their own worth, innocence or great talent. They are doing this because their self worth is unrecognizable without the worth of the prisoners who are not gorgeous to look at; who don't generate wealth but do generate grace.
