From punk performance artists to labor camp prisoners to internationally renowned political activists, Nadezhda (Nadya) Tolokonnikova and Maria (Masha) Alekhina, the duo at the heart of the feminist protest art collective known as Pussy Riot, are without a doubt two of the most wildly controversial figures of the past several years. Sentenced to two years’ imprisonment following an anti-Putin performance in Moscow Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in 2012, the incendiary pair immediately attracted a great amount of international media attention and support from the likes of Peter Gabriel, Sir Paul McCartney, Madonna, and Aung San Suu Kyi. Now free, Pussy Riot use their global renown to proliferate their sobering political message, launching a number of initiatives such as a prisoner’s rights NGO as well as their own independent news service, Mediazona, which focuses on reporting on, and reforming courts, law enforcement, and the prison system in Russia.
