Madonna performs Moscow concert despite protests

Madonna defied religious leaders, on-the-street protestors, the Russian mafia (allegedly) and, if some are to be believed, God himself, by proceeding with that good old crucifix routine when she played at Moscow's Luzhinski Stadium earlier in the week. Despite the many protests and various security concerns surrounding Madonna's first ever performance in Russia, the event passed pretty much without incident - although security measures on the doors at the venue were reportedly pretty severe.
