Pussy Riot’s new video, called “Putin will teach you how to love the motherland” includes footage of the band’s protests.
The band told a news conference their treatment in Sochi is symptomatic of dissent being stifled in Russia:
“The Olympics has turned the police state into a total police state and the authoritarian regime into a totalitarian regime with preventive arrests,” Tolokonnikova said. “The Olympics has created an environment of sweeping violations of human rights in Russia. We are banned from speaking out here.”
