Bolshoi embroiled in 'pornography' protests

Russia’s prestigious Bolshoi Theatre was embroiled in protests today as a pro-Kremlin youth group picketed the premiere of an opera written by a Russian writer it has branded a pornographer.

Moving Together, a nationwide youth movement devoted to President Vladimir Putin, has in the past publicly burned books by Vladimir Sorokin, who was commissioned to write the libretto of the new opera.
