"Americans who will be at the Winter Olympics should look beyond the facilities created for the games and take a hard look at the host country," says Pussy Riot in a report by The Moscow Times.

Pussy Riot, a self-proclaimed feminist punk band, through two of its seven members, urged US citizens participating and witnessing the Winter Olympics at Sochi to critically observe the host country.

Specifically, members Maria Alyokhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova calls on Americans to "look past the buildings erected for the games," says The Moscow Times report.

"These objects have no relation to Russia, they are foreign objects in Russia," Alyokhina said in The Moscow Times report. "The only thing which connects these objects to the country is taxpayer money which has been stolen and which has been used to build these Olympic objects."

Alyokhina and Tolokonnikova have both recently been released after being put behind bars for "hooliganism motivated by religious hatred," reports BBC. According to the BBC report, Pussy Riot "staged a flashmob-style performance of their song close to the altar in the cathedral" on February 21, 2012, leading to the pair's arrest a month later in March.

But the Pussy Riot members are not exactly fearful about serving jail time the second time around. According to The New York Times, Tolokonnikova remarked that now is not the time to be afraid.

"In these two years since the act for which we were imprisoned, the situation in Russia has gotten so much worse. And if we couldn't keep quiet about it then, then we certainly won't keep quiet about it now," Tolokonnikova said in The New York Times report.

Both members of the feminist punk band pledge to "promote feminism, gay rights, improved treatment of prisoners and more transparency in the Russian political system," says The New York Times.

Maria Alyokhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova are in the US for Amnesty International's 'Bringing Human Rights Home' concert on Wednesday in Brooklyn, remarks The Moscow Times.

The two Pussy Riot members will be performing alongside Madonna, Lauryn Hill, Imagine Dragons, the Flaming Lips, Peter Gabriel, Bob Geldof, Yoko Ono, Susan Sarandon, Sting and others, notes The New York Times.
