Anyone else shocked at the sentence handed out to Pussy Riot?

Maybe I am naive, but I kind of thought that the amount of very high profile international attention that was being focused on this case would make the Putin regime back off a bit.
Two years in prison for performing a protest song in the church?
Wow. If this is Putin going easy on them, I am not sure I want to know what else goes on.
What brave women.

I wasn't shocked, i expected worse actually considering its Russia and Putin.
They like to make an example of things.
