... after the trial

The least we know about the other side of the Pussy Riot case, about the one where Masha, Katya and Nadia have been located almost six months. This side is filled with various unpleasant normal things: bars, handcuffs, convoy dogs, rudeness and humiliating officials. The present goal of the state is not at all the correction of a person who got there (sometimes erroneously), but the destruction of him as an individual, as a person. The whole system is configured to grind human dignity into "camp dust", which does not mean dust. Those who are stronger than a soulless bureaucratic mechanism, who are able to survive under pressure from people in uniform, the system begins to hate. Hate and be afraid.

Below I give a letter to Maria Alekhina about the events that occurred immediately after the sentence was issued by the Khamovnik court on 08/17/2012.

... after the trial

After the verdict was announced, we were accompanied by a convoy and dogs were lowered into the convoy, distributing through the cameras. A few minutes later, the convoy asked him to give him an extract from the sentence, and a couple of minutes later special forces flew into the camera and said in an obscene form to collect things, to give time, a reaction in the form of hands was wringing. I found it very strange, usually we did not deal with us so rudely, which means there was an order. There was an order to deliver us on a bus of complete special forces, surrounded by police cars and accompanied by two more buses full of special forces on the so -called "corridor" - specially "cleared" from traffic strips by half of Moscow. What is this? So they do not carry terrorists and people who committed crimes against the personality, but throwing such a resource on 3 girls means only one thing - fear. And it is amazing to see the scope of this fear. I would like to believe that everything will end well, although what is happening speaks the opposite.
