Maria Alyokhina of Pussy Riot In Conversation with Edward Goldman

Vegan Maria Alyokhina
Members of Russian feminist punk protest group Pussy Riot have risen to global visibility over the last several years.
 
Their provocative guerilla performances in unusual public locations center around themes of feminism and LGBT rights, primarily in opposition to the policies of Russian Pres. Putin, whom they regard as a dictator.
 
The Pussy Riot approach to protest and the much-publicized jailing of two members, founder Nadya Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina, was recently dramatized in the hit Netflix drama “House of Cards,” with Tolokonnikova, her husband Pytor Verzilov, and Alyokhina guest starring as themselves.

(Pussy Riot) "Putin Will Teach You How to Love"/Путин научит тебя любить Родину. Свободу политзаключенным по делу 6 мая, экологу Евгению Витишко и всем политическим заключенным! Приходите в Замоскворецкий суд Москвы 24 февраля в 10:30—когда будет читаться приговор Болотного процесса.
 
An HBO documentary titled “Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer” was released in 2013.
 
Alyokhina shares their story with us through a conversation with KCRW’s Edward Goldman.

Since 1988, Goldman has been the host of KCRW’s weekly art review, “Art Talk”. Both fearless and fun, Edward offers a unique accent on art. Formerly employed by the famed Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, and a favorite on-air presence, he offers impassioned views on what he sees in the galleries and museums and at events throughout the world, and isn’t afraid to “speak truth to power.” Supported by the George C. Perkins Fund.

AFP news agencyAFP) The women's activists and topless protesters FEMEN.org and the punk feminists Pussy Riot have achieved fame -- or perhaps infamy -- around the world for their provocative protests. But is there more to the Ukrainian and Russian groups than mere shock tactics?
