Pussy

What is it like to live in constant fear of attack or imprisonment by the Russian state? The very harsh reality is described to Kathimerini by the creator of the Russian feminist protest art collective Pussy Riot, Nadya Tolokonnikova.

MOSCOW — Taking turns sliding across the rain-soaked turf holding the World Cup trophy tight, teenager Kylian Mbappe and the rest of France's players acted like the youthful bunch they are.

Nothing, not a Pussy Riot protest nor a postgame downpour that soaked Russian President Vladimir Putin, was going to stop the party.

Members of Russian punk band Pussy Riot are in Bulgaria for several days, media outlets report.

A photo has meanwhile appeared on social media, uploaded by blogger and activist Ivo Bozhkov, which shows Tolokonnikova against the background of the Soviet Army Monument in downtown Sofia, Bulgaria.
