Description

Explore a powerful narrative of resistance and survival in modern Russia. Political Girl follows the journey of Maria Alyokhina during a period of intense political shifts. As Russia prepared for the 2014 Winter Olympics and the invasion of Crimea, the landscape of the country changed drastically under Putin's re-election. This book examines the life of a woman who faced imprisonment for her convictions. After performing the punk prayer 'Virgin Mary, Banish Putin' with her friends, Alyokhina spent two years in a penal colony. Her story provides a window into what happens when a nation moves toward an authoritarian state and how individuals respond to repressive environments. Described by Alpa Shah as witty, urgent, and unflinching, this biography explores the intersection of art and protest. It is a profound look at how creative expression can be used to confront and disrupt power. This is a must-read for those interested in Russian history, political biographies, and the human spirit's ability to face systemic challenges.
