From activist, Pussy Riot member and freedom fighter Maria Alyokhina, a raw, hallucinatory, passionate account of her arrest, trial and imprisonment in Siberian jail for standing up for what she believed in. Freedom doesn’t exist unless you fight for it every day. Revolution is history. If we decided to fall out of it, to disappear, that would mean it would not be our history, but theirs. Not our country, but theirs. In this sense, we didn’t take off our masks. We never left the church. On a T-shirt, I had written ‘To Back Down an Inch is to Give Up a Mile’. I felt there was no sense in wearing a T-shirt with those words if you didn’t hold yourself to them. We have the right to refuse. This is our right, yours and mine. You can’t know all the laws by heart; you don’t know what will happen if you refuse. But you have to try.
