Pussy Riot participants will soon be released
Maria Alekhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, after the arrest of the Punch Riot Pussy Riot, after the arrest of Punk-Group-I want to believe-they will meet at home: both girls fell under the State Duma in honor of the 20th anniversary of the Constitution. Three months before its term
In August 2012, the Khamovnican Court sentenced three participants in Punk-Molebne in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior "The Virgin, Putin of the run!" - Nadezhda Tolokonnikov, Maria Alekhina and Ekaterina Samutsevich - to the two years of the colony of general regime. Subsequently, the Moscow City Court changed Samutsevich punishment to conditional. Alekhina and Tolokonnikov - both mothers of young children - went to serve his sentence in a general regime colony.
Over the incomplete two years of stay in prison, Nadia and Masha, recognized by the “international amnesty” of the prisoners of conscience, were replaced by two colonies, received refusals in Udo and told the world about the slave work of prisoners and the conditions of the detention of convicts for barbed wire.
More than a year, that Nadia and Masha were behind bars, they not only fought for their own rights and rights of their friends in misfortune, they actively cooperated with The New Times magazine. Masha Alekhina sent her articles-colonies, and Nadia corresponded with a famous philosopher with the glory of Zizhek. This correspondence was published on the pages of the magazine.

| Maria Alekhina from IK-2 of the Nizhny Novgorod region: “I would not want to go out on an amnesty. I still have a lot of things in the colony. I did not have time to help all the prisoners and collect the material about what conditions and how women work there. ” | Nadezhda Tolokonnikova from the Krasnoyarsk Tuberculosis Hospital: “What amnesty? I actually have a New Year's concert that I am organizing. ” |
“Society is not very interesting to the topic of prisons, although society regularly pays taxes for them. Despite this, any public mention causes fear and a thrill among the current bosses.
The Russian stateist - extrapolation of the prison system - is afraid of laughter. The current government officials were frightened by jokes, having planted us, the same ranks with smaller stars continue to repeat to me in the colony that "we have a serious institution."
Letter of Maria Alekhina from the stage. 19 July 2013
“Two years of conclusion for Pussy Riot is our tribute to fate for the acute hearing presented to us by it, allowing us to reproduce a note of la, although according to a long-established tradition, everyone is used to listening to salt-Bemol.
How to settle the confrontation of experts and babies? Don't know. But one thing I can say for sure: a batch of infants, as in the time of Herod, will resist; We will find our basket and daughter of the pharaoh, who will help us. In the life of those who childishly believe in the triumph of truth over the lie, in mutual assistance, who lives according to the economy of the gift, a miracle always occurs at the right time. ”
