 On February 21 , 2012 , as part of a protest movement against the re @-@ election of Vladimir Putin , five women from the group entered the Cathedral of Christ the Savior of the Russian Orthodox Church in Moscow . There was no church service in session at the time , and only a few people were in the cathedral . Removing their winter clothes , they put on colorful balaclavas , walked up the steps leading to the altar , and began to jump around , punching the air . After less than a minute , they were escorted outside the building by guards . Film of the performance was later combined with footage shot at a different church , identified by Russian Orthodox Church spokesman Vsevolod Chaplin as the Epiphany Cathedral in Yelokhovo , to create a video clip for the song , which they entitled " Punk Prayer : Mother of God Drive Putin Away " .
