About this listen
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Riot Days by Maria Alyokhina, read by Kate Lock.
From activist, Pussy Riot member and freedom fighter Maria Alyokhina, a raw, hallucinatory, passionate account of her arrest, trial and imprisonment in a penal colony in the Urals for standing up for what she believed in.
People who believe in freedom and 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 and 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.
We are all Pussy Riot
And actions break fear.
'To Back Down an Inch is to Give Up a Mile'.

fantastic book, dreadful voice acting
Was the appalling Russian accent necessary? No, it took me out of the story and ruined the narrative.
If you can, read the book it's really good.

Doesn’t work as an audiobook
Maria Alyokhina’s book is quite fragmentary which makes this a very disjointed listen. She has a good and important story to tell but the audiobook does it a disservice. Bought the book and read that instead!
