Feminism in Russia less pay than men doing the same work. In 2003, 43 percent of local administrators in St. Petersburg were women. In 2012, the feminist punk rock band Pussy Riot performed publicity stunts to show their opposition to Vladimir Putin, and have faced criticism from the Russian Orthodox Church and the Putin administration. Three members of the group were arrested in March 2012 after performing a "punk-prayer" against Putin in the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow. During their trial for hooliganism, they talked about being feminists and stated that this was not incompatible with Russian Orthodoxy. However, Larisa Pavlova,
Vladimir Putin and his press-secretary, Dmitry Peskov, said the leak was a conspiracy aimed at Putin. As president and prime-minister, Putin has lived in numerous official residences throughout the country. These residences include: the Moscow Kremlin, in Moscow Oblast, the White House in Moscow, near Moscow, Bocharov Ruchey in Sochi, in Novgorod Oblast, and Riviera in Sochi. In August 2012, critics of President Vladimir Putin listed the ownership of 20 villas and palaces, nine of which were built during Putin's 12 years in power.
