Speaking about the Pussy Riot trial with Sky News, Carnegie Moscow Center’s Maria Lipman said that there is absolutely no chance of a verdict of acquittal or not guilty. She explained that the verdict in this trial will not be reached in the courtroom. It is reached “outside the courtroom,” as in case of politically sensitive cases in Russia, she concluded.
