Riot Days

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.`One of the most brilliant and inspiring things I`ve read in years. Couldn`t put it down. This book is freedom` Chris Kraus, author of I Love Dick`A women`s prison memoir like no other! One tough cookie!` @MargaretAtwood`Once you begin reading, you are completely disarmed, unable to put it down until the last page` Marina AbramovicPeople who believe in freedom and democracy think it will exist forever.That is a mistake. What happened in Russia – what happened to me – could happen anywhere.When I was jailed for political protest, I learned that prison doesn`t just teach you to follow the rules. It teaches you to think that you can never break them.It`s inevitable that the prison gates will open at some point. But this doesn`t mean that you leave the `prisoner` category and go straight into the category of `the free`.Freedom does not exist unless you fight for it every day.This is the story about how I made a choice.
