 Olga Kurnosova said city officials had tried to force her to stop Sunday's show in St. Petersburg _ President Vladimir Putin's hometown _ and firefighters had threatened to close down the Glavklub hall, claiming safety violations ahead of the concert. 
  
 About 1,000 people attended the "Free Pussy Riot Fest" headlined by the Russian rock protest bands DDT and Televizor, whose songs have long riled Soviet authorities and Putin's Kremlin. 
  
 Last month three members of Pussy Riot were sentenced to two years in jail for a "punk prayer" against Putin in Russia's largest cathedral in a trial that provoked an international outcry. 
  
 On Sunday, DDT frontman Yuri Shevchuk compared the spiraling Kremlin crackdown on political protests to Soviet-era repression of dissidents. 
  
 "In 1992, we participated in a festival against political repression," he told the audience. "Twenty years have passed, but it seems almost nothing has changed." 
  
 Several younger rock bands and rappers voiced their support for Pussy Riot from the stage Sunday, and some spectators were wearing balaclavas _ the feminist band's trademark headwear. 
  
 Dozens of riot policemen surrounded the festival venue and detained four people afterward for alleged jaywalking, Russian media reported. 
  
 Proceeds from the show will be donated to Pussy Riot and other activists in jail under Putin, organizers said. 
  
 One such activist is Taisiya Osipova, who was sentenced to eight years in prison after supporters say police planted heroin in her home for refusing to testify against her husband, a senior opposition figure. 
  
 More than 100 Russian intellectuals, including rock musicians, writers and film stars, signed an open letter to the Kremlin in July saying the Pussy Riot trial would divide Russia. But other Russian celebrities, including pop stars often seen on Kremlin-controlled television networks, have condemned the band's performance as disrespectful to Russia's dominant Orthodox Church. 
  
 Pussy Riot grew from a controversial art-protest group based in St. Petersburg. Among the group's most noted acts was the drawing of an enormous phallus on a drawbridge in St. Petersburg opposite the headquarters of the FSB, or Federal Security Service, the main KGB-successor agency. 
  
 Putin, a former KGB spy and FSB head, has compared Pussy Riot's stunt to a "witches' Sabbath." 
  
 In a video made public last week, the members of Pussy Riot who have remained free said they were "going on with their musical fight" and burned a portrait of Putin.

 Lawyers for the punk-band Pussy Riot have been summoned for interrogation over their role in May 6 clashes on Moscow’s Bolotnaya Square, during the March of Millions protest rally. 
  
 Investigators say that lawyer Yelena Lukyanova will be questioned as a witness in the case since she was among the organizers of the protest action held on the eve of Vladimir Putin’s inauguration for his third presidential term. 
  
 According to the spokesman for the Investigative Committee, Vladimir Markin, another advocate for the female band – Mark Feygin – addressed protesters from the stage during the May 6 rally and urged them to join a sit-in in downtown Moscow. 
  
 The so-called March of Millions was agreed with authorities, but ended with clashes between protesters and the police. Dozens were injured and over 400 people were detained. The opposition claimed police officers were hampering the event, while the police accused the protesters of an intentional provocation. 
  
 Feygin considers the summons as “pressure” upon him in relation to the Pussy Riot case. 
  
 “If it really was somehow connected to the events on Bolotnaya square, I would have been summoned to the Investigative Committee in May or June, when opposition activists were interrogated,” he told Interfax. 
  
 The lawyer denied accusations against him and labeled the move as politically motivated, writes RIA Novosti agency. Feygin admitted he addressed the crowd on May 6, but only to try to prevent any clashes between law enforcers and protesters. 
  
 Feygin said he would go to the interrogation with his colleagues – other lawyers for Pussy Riot – Nikolay Polozov and Violetta Volkova. According to the Investigative Committee, Volkova was also present on Bolotnaya Square on May 6. 
  
 On October 1, the Moscow City Court will hear an appeal against the two-year sentence handed out to the three young women from the Pussy Riot band last month. |||||
Output:
St. Petersburg officials warned against it, but supporters of Pussy Riot held a fundraising concert in the band's honor anyway. Some 1,000 people attended the "Free Pussy Riot Fest" in Vladimir Putin's native city, even after firefighters said they'd shut down the hall over safety violations. Two other Russian protest bands, DDT and Trevizor, headlined a show surrounded by riot police. "In 1992, we participated in a festival against political repression," said DDT's frontman. "Twenty years have passed, but it seems almost nothing has changed." Four people were detained after the gig for jaywalking, the AP reports. Pussy Riot and other jailed activists will receive the proceeds from the show. Meanwhile, a new batch of activists are in trouble with Russia's government: Pussy Riot's lawyers. Two are set to be questioned by officials, RT reports. Authorities say the interrogation is over their involvement in a protest on May 6 that resulted in 400 people being detained. But other activists were interrogated earlier, says one of the lawyers; this summons has more to do with his work for the band, he says.
