The Russian feminist collective Pussy Riot, which was sentenced to prison for his provocative messages in favor of LGBT rightsfeminism, freedom of expression and against repression in Russia, chose today, Christmas Eve in the Christian world, to protest against the war in Ukraine.
On this occasion, Pussy Riot released a music video with the staging of what they call their “anti-war statement started by Vladimir Putin in Ukraine.
“Since the beginning of the war on February 24, military censorship has been introduced in Russia. It is forbidden to call war a warpublication of materials about the war that has not been verified by the Kremlin is forbidden,” the activists said in a statement sent to the media.
cry of reproach
“Go to hell, we’ll tell you the truth!” add the punk-rock interpreters, who on this occasion protest to the rhythm of rap, in a theme symbolizing his “anger, indignation and discontent”.
It is “a desperate cry of rebuke against Putin’s bloodthirsty puppets, led by a real cannibal monsterwhose place is in the infinity of fierce hellfire on the bones of the victims of this terrible war.”
In the video they splash images of suitcases dripping with blood strategically placed on terraces where the rich drink sodas or coffee, they intertwine with sequences of attacks in Ukraine, war wreckage, broken dolls and soldiers who force people to walk hunched over, while a chorus is heard: “Mom, there are no Nazis here, don’t watch TV.”
The phrase, which Pussy Riot interprets from the bottom of a cellar dug into the ground to which they descended by narrow and dimly lit stairs – covering their face with the characteristic three-hole, eyes and mouth wool mask – is from a Russian recruit soldier caught that, in a telephone conversation with her mother, she told her exactly that.
face uncovered
“Russian propaganda poisons people’s hearts with hatred every day. The foreign agents law is being used to silence opposition activists and journalists, to stop the activities of the last few independent human rights organizations,” the activists denounced.
The singers also appear in the video face uncovered in concerts with the public or in the interpretation of texts. With them, opposition figures from anti-government movements who have suffered poisoning, such as Alexander Litvinenko or Alexei Navalny.
“We are against this shameful war waged by Putin, e to stop this war we must uniteunite against Putin’s fascist regime”, declare these young women, who promote an active protest, starting with the embargo on the purchase of Russian oil and gas, on the sale of police weapons and ammunition to Russia.
“With this money – they say – Putin beats us, imprisons us, attacks us with military poison and kills us. With this money he makes war”.
They also call for the freezing of Western bank accounts and the property of Russian officials and oligarchs and the introduction of personal sanctions against them and Let an international tribunal try Putin“to employees of Russian state propaganda, army officers and all those responsible for the genocide of the Ukrainian nation.”
There is also a message for the Russian population: “Please don’t participate in this war! Don’t take mobilization notices, don’t go to military police station, don’t listen to propaganda!”
And they finish it “every action against this war is important”; in fact, as a symbol of that struggle, one of the Pussy Riots wearing a fuchsia mask that reveals her blond hair closes the video with an image in which she lifts the black tunic she is wearing and, standing, urinates on a photo of Put in.
