Nadezhda Tolokonnikova: "Hunting season"

“It’s strange and scary when your own state opens a general hunting season for you. Despite the fact that you are not a murderer, not a thief, not a rapist, or even a drug dealer. Methodically setting Russian citizens against “national traitors” - the opposition, artists, human rights activists , Putin is not responsible if the incensed Kiselev, Kurginyan and our fellow citizens one day lynch one of us.

Of course, if you hammer into people’s heads day after day that enemy of the people No. 1 is, say, human rights activist Olga Romanova or young politician Vera Kichanova, some of the excited citizens may really want to deal with them “like a man.”
