Members of the punk group Pussy Riot have released a new song and video where, wearing bright-coloured ski masks, they dance on an oil tanker.

The new song compares President Vladimir Putin to an “ayatollah in Iran”. It is their first performance in almost a year since three band members were jailed for performing a “punk prayer” in Moscow’s main cathedral.
