Riot Days Audiobook (Free)

Penguin presents the audiobook release of Riot Times by Maria Alyokhina, read by Kate Lock.

From activist, Pussy Riot member and freedom fighter Maria Alyokhina, a fresh, hallucinatory, passionate account of her arrest, trial and imprisonment within a penal colony in the Urals for standing up for what she believed in.

‘One of the very most brilliant and inspiring things I’ve go through in years. Couldn’t put it straight down. This book can be freedom’ Chris Kraus, author of I Love Dick

People who believe in freedom and about Riot Times democracy think it’ll exist forever.

That is a mistake. What occurred in Russia – what happened certainly to me – could happen anywhere.

AFTER I was jailed for political protest, I found that prison doesn’t just teach you to follow the guidelines. It teaches you to think that you can under no circumstances break them.

It’s inevitable that this jail gates will open sooner or later. But this doesn’t mean that you keep the ‘prisoner’ category and go straight into the category of ‘the free of charge’.

Freedom will not exist if you don’t fight for this every day.

This is actually the story about how exactly I made a choice.

We all have been Pussy Riot.

And actions break fear.
