## Resource

Pussy Riot's 2012 "Punk Prayer" was a global flashpoint - a defining test of free expression in Putin’s Russia. When co-founding member Masha Alyokhina was arrested, she told her son she would be back the next day. She was gone for two years. In 2022, she fled the motherland, but continues to fight Putin from afar. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
