From activist, Pussy Riot member & freedom fighter Maria Alyokhina, a raw, hallucinatory, passionate account of her arrest, trial & imprisonment in Siberian jail for standing up for what she believed in.` One of the most brilliant & 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!` @ Margaret Atwood` Once you begin reading, you are completely disarmed, unable to put it down until the last page` Marina Abramovic People who believe in freedom & 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 & 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.
