They were released from Russian prison in December, after nearly two years in jail following a conviction for hooliganism when they staged a protest in a Russian church, in what was widely seen as a public relations move ahead of the Olympics by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Maria Alekhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova made their first public appearance in the United States at a press conference in New York on Tuesday. They're scheduled to take part in Amnesty International's "Bringing Human Rights Home" concert in Brooklyn on Wednesday.
The women were released in December after nearly two years in jail following a conviction for hooliganism when they staged a protest in a Russian church. They've been critical of Russian President Vladimir Putin and political conditions in their homeland.
The 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia begin Friday.
