They have made a scene at the altar, crashed the Sochi Olympics, and taken numerous lumps for taking on Putin's Russia.
Pussy Riot, the Russian punk rock collective of fierce Kremlin critics, is now going after the man that lords over Moscow's version of justice -- Prosecutor-General Yury Chaika.
"Now Pussy Riot also has its own movie about Chaika," lead Pussy Riot member Nadezhda Tolokonnikova tweeted on February 3.
None other than Tolokonnikova plays the role of Chaika, who was the focus of graft allegations made last year by Russian opposition politician Aleksei Navalny.
Following a lengthy investigation, Navalny produced a 43-minute documentary last year accusing Chaika's two sons of masterminding broad corruption schemes to enrich themselves under the cover of being subordinates to their high-ranking father.
Pussy Riot's latest track, recorded in Los Angeles with a video filmed in Moscow, clearly lends its support for Navalny's argument.
The lyrics of the song tell the story of a Russia where, as long as you stay loyal to the leadership, you can get away with practically anything, even murder.
"Be loyal to those in power, because power is a gift from God, son. I love Russia. I am a patriot," the chorus goes.
Tolokonnikova served time for her role in an anti-Putin protest in 2012 that entered Pussy Riot into the lexicon of news presenters across the world. The protest, turned into a video titled Punk Prayer -- Mother of God, Chase Putin Away featured images of five members of the group performing in their trademark multicolored balaclavas on the altar of Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Savior.
Tolokonnikova and fellow Pussy Riot members Maria Alyokhina and Yekaterina Samutsevich were convicted of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred and handed two-year prison sentences. Samutsevich was released just two months later on a suspended sentence.
Tolokonnikova and Alyokhina served nearly their full terms, and quickly made waves upon their release with Putin Will Teach You How To Love The Motherland, a music video targeting the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi. The clip showed images of Pussy Riot making a beach landing at the games and being whipped and beaten by baton-wielding Cossack militia.
Pussy Riot drew on their experiences in challenging Russian authority in creating their new song and video.
"This is an artistic tale of modern Russian and its target is citizens," Tolokonnikova said in an interview with BuzzFeed. "When we made Chaika I asked myself, 'Would my co-prisoners have understood this or not?' And every time I answered myself: 'Yes, they would have.'"
As Chaika, Tolokonnikova watches over as her "colleagues," all dressed in prosecutor uniforms, torture inmates. In some scenes Tolokonnikova is filmed at a large desk in a dark office with a portrait of Vladimir Putin hanging in the background.
As she sings, Tolokonnikova holds what seems like golden loaf of bread -- a symbol of corruption in neighboring Ukraine during the rule of Viktor Yanukovych.

And the clip is replete with fowl imagery. There is the wearing of seagull masks -- another swipe at Chaika (which means seagull in English) -- that activists have used to symbolize Chaika's alleged involvement in corruption.
And the Russian double eagle features prominently in the new clip, albeit obviously patterned after the Nazi eagle.
Finally, there are the frequent images of an actress feasting on a large chicken (arguably a turkey).
The scenes, Tolokonnikova told Vice.com, symbolize gluttony, which she calls the "core values of the Russian government mafia."
