    3. @Johan Simpson Nadya was protesting the invasion of Ukraine and raising funds for Ukrainians long before the mobilization yesterday. Nadya and her bandmate Maria won the Hannah Arendt Prize for Political Thought a few months ago.

      What maķes her so courageous is she got sent to the gulag, she knows exactly how inhumane and hellish it is–you can see it in hèr eyes–and yet she keeps speaking out.

      Do not disrespect her braveryby lumping her ìn with others with less noble motives

  2. This woman deserves to be part of the future democratic Russian republic parliament, together with Navalny, Kasparov and many other active members of russian democratic society.

    1. @nyqan nyqansson it’s not just russia that’s brainwashing their people lol The states is doing it at a larger scale 🙄 uk has its ways of getting ppl in line also.. any country can have disgruntled nationals from any country to talk bad about that country. When you people say things like “rest of the world” its mainly America and the little side of Europe and a few Asian countries. I mean comon we can all get along but in 2022 noone wants to hear lectures from the west about how to live morality etc we have different CULTURES AND TRADITIONS.. the diff is the west don’t respect anyone else’s culture so here we are a DIVIDED world and will stay divided as long as one side still thinks they can tell other countries how to govern, behave and who to elect lol some countries don’t want to elect politicians every now and again they have other big problems to deal with. Putin is hated by you but he ain’t your president and bringing in a few faces on TV to talk about how bad he is ain’t gone change the fact majority in his country love him… as far as this war it needs to end but Ukraine need to make concessions because whether you like it or not you will not win this war and Russia ain’t gon back down.. we will send you weapons not because we care about your country but because we ant to see Russia fall that’s all… but Ukrainians will have to die to achieve this that’s why we made you sign that agreement in the past years buying time while we prop up your military to fight.

    2. I agree. The iron is that Putin has passed a law that anyone who mentions the word “war” gets a 15-year prison sentence, but now he is drafting 300,000 and has said this is no longer a military operation, but a war. Will they abolish that law that punishes those that use the word “war”? I doubt it. Someone please take out Putin. His madness has caused enough death and destruction.

  3. Nadya Tolokonnikova is a brave advocate for Russia’s future. The brutality shown in the video should be viewed by people in the U.S. who have a misguided desire for authoritarian leaders. Ms. Tolokonnikova speaks eloquently and from experience.

    3. @Nebo na ladoni real hero’s are often not appreciated during their lifetimes, especially not by those still blinded by their chains. I doubt she cares for your approval.

    5. @All good with me! yes, this is real. Do a bit of research as you’re probably too young to remember Ms. Tolokonnikova.

    1. It was a lot of protests against Vietnam war.
      This is a beginning of BigWar in Europe as Russian wants 500k youngster move to front till Christmas and next 500 k up to Easter. Think about what for these extra millions military untrained young males in primitive Army.

    2. For what? Biden isn’t an authoritarian monster. And his time will end and a new President will come through. At least your US system supports and instigates regular changes. Just don’t let the Woke and the Far Right take over.
      I hope to see many more younger adults like Zelensky’s age take ages he helm.

    5. @Kiki Well, the vote will only carry us so far. Ideally they’d all just be arrested for their crimes and the party would either be disbanded/replaced or reinvented.

  5. As a musician I don’t like her music, as a human being I deeply admire her and her colleagues. I hope I could be as brave as she is, I wish I had friends as her, I wish all the countries were full of people like Nadya.

    2. It’s great when protest songs are both socially and musically inspirational, but the social bit is the more important, of course!

    3. She unironically said Western civilization. mask off moment for her as a disgusting cia op,western exceptionalist and a disgusting westoid,white supremacist, believing in fucking the 3rd world, imperial periphery nations for the luxurious lifestyle of labor aristocrats in the imperial core nations,disgusting anarchist(which is expected from any western 1st worlder anarchist no international working class solidarity)
      She is talking to a channel who were war mongering about the genocide of Iraqi people and other 3rd world nations people by the disgusting barbaric usa govt.

      Did she forget usa has the highest no. Of people under penitentiary even though usa has 4 times less population than china or india
      Or Guantanamo bay do I need to explain farther
      And yes this capitalist Russian govt is really bad too and they invaded Ukraine for to have a buffer zone between Europe nato and then also for resources and it is a proxy war going between the west and Russia

  11. I’m amazed that Nadya is still alive. When she was in jail, she went missing for a month “between transfers” after going on a hunger strike to protest abuses in the prison. Many people believed she was killed but thankfully wasn’t when she remerged at a prison hospital. God only knows what she endured during that time. A brave woman.

    1. Absolutely amazing she made it!
      During her time in jail they tried to put Nadyia in the same sell with tuberculosis’s patient, could you believe?!Just for reason to shut her down..

  13. That last comment by her, “She needs to get out as soon as possible. The guards can do whatever they want.”, ending in her nearly crying. Brutal.

  15. How she held it together right at the end though, so many emotions. Much respect and admiration to her and the bravery 👏🏼

  17. I am moved by this woman. She elicits compassion and respect. I have someone to believe in. A strength of spirit and a unflinching courage.
