Pussy Riot's powerful message to putin / You can’t stop the future with bullets, poison or prison
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 бер 2024
- Nadya Tolokonnikova's speech at the opening of the FEAR NOT exhibit at The Wende Museum, California. Follow-up to a last year TED speech.
This pop-up exhibit featured Tolokonnikova's works from "This art is a hammer to shape reality", "Middle Finger" and Pussy Riot's "Murderers" action done in front of the Russian embassy in Berlin two days after the murder of Alexei Navalny.
Nadya Tolokonnikova says:
This exhibit is an act of defiance. Darkness is engulfing my home country, darkness engulfing the world, darkness named authoritarianism. My colleague and a leader of the anti-Putin resistance, Alexei Navalny was murdered by Putin on February 16 in the "Polar Wolf" penal colony. Alexei left us a simple message: "I'm not afraid, and you shouldn't be afraid either". Ideas, unlike us humans, are immortal.
Every autocracy is based on two pillars. It breaks your body and it breaks your spirit. The first one - beatings, prisons, murders - primary goal of all these is to break your body. The second one is more hideous, and more dangerous in a way, it targets your soul and results in broken spirit, which manifests in self-censorship, learned helplessness, compliance, apathy ("What can I change", "Nothing can be done", "Everything is predetermined").
It's painful to see your country dissolve into the dark hell of autocracy. It's painful to see your friends and colleagues being murdered one by one. The first political death I witnessed was a double murder of two people close to me in 2009. I saw drips of their blood on Moscow snow and I will never forget it. Then Nemtsov in 2014. Then Navalny, 2 weeks ago.
We still can prevent the world crumbling into autocracy, but it takes determination and courage. Democracy is the most fragile form of human organization, and it's precious. It needs us to show up for it. Help Ukraine win. Help Russian dissidents to fight Putin. And maybe don't elect a Putin-loving authoritarian narcissist for your president again - trust me, you won't love it in Putin's Russia.

Quote in the title by Vladimir Kara-Murza, politician and political prisoner who serves 25 years in a Siberian penal colony for opposing putin and standing with Ukraine
I'm glad there are Russians who speak like that. There is hope in you.
She’s precious. One in a 140 million country. I’m Russian and I’m totally disheartened at the recent street polls that show overwhelming and well-articulated support and approval of Putin. My country is terminally ill 🤧
@@hughjass6646 They want people like you to feel disheartened. That was the function of this power ritual, jokingly called by the media as an "election." It's to terrorize people into solitude and apathy. But if you truly want to know how much people are willing to defend Putin, remember how Wagner rebellion was met with a total lack of resistance. That was the REAL ELECTION that showed how people of Russia love him.
Don't lose hope. There are other people in Russia who dream of government for people, and not the other way around. You may find them if you look around :)
Peace to Ukraine!
Freedom from pouty putin
They would have had peace if the U.S. had not started a coup many years ago.
Nadya has done more with her life than any of us. The truest version of a Public Servant. History will remember her, but a free Russia is her life goal. Much respect.
Russia is free you clowm
And her music Bangz
Russia is free you fool , has she rebuilt Russia ? Nope. So she hasn’t done anything that deserves merit over putin . She’s making a case for a clear cut self proclaimed racist , that’s a career ender straight away . We will see her career in 5 years and am betting she’s a nobody still.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Is the so called free world just ? Freedom and democracy is just another lie . We need justice. Our politics must be platonic .
Speaker Mike Johnson and his MAGA mob should hear this talk! Well spoken Nadya! May God be with you.
Hope karma gets Mike Johnson he has blood on his hands….
They might hear but they will not listen. Trump and his autocratic criminal friends are almost as distant from the message of freedom from Nadya as Putin and his criminal coterie. Two cheeks of the same @rse.
Johnson isn't interested in facts. He's a maga.
The greatest ally to Putin right now is the Republican Party. Traitors to civilisation.
@@APW554 well if there is a god, he will burn in hell at least
Wonderful wonderful young woman and soul. Thank you!
As an American I can't tell you how much I admire your courage. We could find ourselves in a similar situation. Most Americans stand with you.😮
You already are with the Republican party. Wake up citizens of the USA
какое мужество? вы о чём?
We could very well be in a similar situation. Already started with overturning Roe.. That is just a mere molecule of the tip of the iceberg.
@@meredithheath5272 People in the US need to hear this more. Putin did not become a dictator over night, he did it one step, and one less right at a time.

Very well spoken. Beautifully said Nadya, you are Russia's future not Poo-tin.
Какая будущее России!??? 🇷🇺 А в храме Господнем такое устроила!!! А сейчас не понятно для чего надела крест!!! Это лукавый 😈 человек ☝️!!!
@@Vanya_Minecraf Она и ее друзья сделали то же самое в храме в Иерусалиме. Он видел лицемерие торговцев в храме, так же, как Надя Толоконникова и ее друзья видели отвратительное лицемерие Русской православной церкви и путинского фашистского Кремля.
Слава Украине
Слава свободной России
Down fall of Russia.
The same church that supports an unprovoked invasion? You think Pussy Riot in the church was bad? I shudder to think what would happen when Jesus Himself visits that church. Remember what he did to the dealers in the temple court... What more would he do to those defiling God's love with their Satanic hate... The Russian Orthodox Church has become an oxymoron.@@Vanya_Minecraf
No,she isn't our future.Keep her for yourself))We don'd need this creature in Russia.
As a man I am super proud of you ladies standing up for your rights and others in Russia
Absolutely remarkable! What courage!
Very moving. What a brave bright woman.
Nadya is awesome in strength of will and her strive for a free Russia...so inspiring !!! Her perseverance so wonderful, so mighty !!! We all need to make sure Putin doesn't get to hurt her anymore !!!
Publicity and lots of it are probably Nadia's best protection from now on. We can only hope that Putin, coward that he is, will hesitate to pull the same stunt with Nadia that he pulled on poor Alexie by hiding him from public view in a Siberian gulag! If he were to try that one on Nadia hopefully the Western media could, for once make themselves useful by posting a dawn to sunset vigil over her so to protect her from another case of 'sudden death syndrome'!
We shouldn't try to dissuade the dear girl from returning to Russia, much as I long to, firstly because we won't be successful anyway and second in respect of who Nadia is. She is one of very few special people who are predestined for their own special role in history. It is people like Nadia and Alexie who will lead Russia out of the darkness into the light. We will love them.
OUTSTANDING ! WELL! SAID NADYA TOLONNIKVA. BLESS ! FROM, U.K. (2024).
Nadia, a ray of light in dark days. At least with courageous people like her there is real hope - inspiring.
Надежда - ум, честь и совесть нашей эпохи! Спасибо за честность, смелость и борьбу с путинским фашизмом!
Nadya says it like it is. Thank you for your voice, Nadya.
Dear Nadya
I hope will continue public speaking like this around the free world and hope to see you in Australia. 🇦🇺🇺🇦🌻
Oh yes.
Same 🇦🇺 I have followed Nadya and Navalny for over a decade. They are true Russians.
This Band should be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize
Nora Guthrie presented Pussy Riot with the Woody Guthrie Prize last year. :) The great turnout was heartening, especially in Oklahoma. Nadya wasn't with them, unfortunately. Their performance was profoundly moving.
Respectful salute to Nadya for truth well spoken 🎉🎉🎉
May God protect you, Nadya, from the darkness of this world.
From putin you mean...
May your light outshine the darkness,
Such a beautiful woman with so much courage and humanity!
Impressed beyond explanation. Share the love
See you in WINNIPEG, CANADA on March 10! Brave young women. Courage is contagious. Slava Ukraine.
is she comming to Vancouver ??? i can promote it !
@@CanadianMilitaryVet And what about Edmonton! Please let me know if you hear, but I will also Google for it. You should too. ❤❤❤
A beautiful soul and a role model for many young Russians ❤!
This is so moving. So beautifully said. Thank you, Nadia. You too are a light.💖💜🌹🌹
Beautiful speech, in a language not her own, made under the constant threat of violence, this young woman is a creative soul, a brilliant activist for human actualization, and a model for young people who consider political participation to be beneath them or, alternatively, hopeless. Politics becomes hopeless when we accept passivity or idle complaint as a substitute for engagement and the courage to be better people. We need not slip into hopelessness. We are all in a position to help Ukraine, Russia, everyplace under assault or states of oppression, ourselves, and humanity, each in our own ways.
Thank you, Nadya.
Russia don't need help from you:)You better mind your own business.
@@VovaHCK.Russians do. 😢
@@ehawolczecki8759 No,we don't😁
@@VovaHCK You need a lobotomy.
@@VovaHCK Russia needs all the help it can get. Wiseguys like you will bring you all down for generations if the better people do not make things right - and soon. Wake up and smell the crooks robbing you blind and shipping the money to private accounts in the west, lying to your face whenever they open their mouths (like their right-wing buddies in the U.S.), and keeping 90% of Russians poor and - to avoid the ugly reality - too often drunk.
Yes, I know, that's a lot of words.
One of the world's most badass punk rockers. Respect
Thank you so much! You're a courageous woman. The world needs you now more than ever. Bless you!
Děkuji z ČR / CZ. Dohromady jsme silnější, citlivější, chytřejší a inovativnejsi než včera a učíme se každý den společně vytvořit lepší celosvětovou humánní civilizaci. Jen to musíme stihnout zrealizovat a být o krok před těmi, kteří mají srdce mrtvé ještě zaživa. Obětí diktatoru bylo dost. Let s stay strong and united across the artificial borderlines. Stay safe and tuned. Love.
The world is with Nadya, Alexei, Yulia, Ukraine, and the brave Russian people who came by the thousands to show their love for Navalny and their country.✌️❤️🙏🗽
Navalny supported annexation of Crimea.
Terrorist State Russia can’t smear Navalny.
No we are NOT. Get out of your bubble and open your eyes and ears! You are supporting a criminal cartel and a bunch of war pigs.
The civilized world.
@@oneshothunter9877He advocated for many things, and then changed his mind on most of them when he learned more about the facts involved.
What a wonderful woman. She speaks truth in perfect English.
Thank you for such powerful speech!
Nadya Tolokonnikova is the very definition of a beautiful soul. She's strong, defiant, brave, and brilliant. All Americans should strive to be a fraction of what Nadya Tolokonnikova has proven to be. Putin is no doubt, spending millions trying to figure out how to shut her up and she just keeps fighting, talking, defying all odds. Viva Pussy Riot! She and the Russian people will prevail against the DICTATOR PUTIN.
strong, defiant, brave, and brilliant.
👎/ Dicktator Poo-tin
There are more Americans like Nadya than all of Russia , we all need to be strong.
Majority of Russians trust and are satisfied with the current leadership and know what Napoleon and Hitler did to our country
The cross on her chest is another Pussy Riot performance.
Putin needs to be dealt with.
You mean putrid
And Trump, and orban, and bin Salman, and...
Brilliant, beautiful, thoughtful, truthful, captivating, Moving.
Nadya Tolokonnikova, A wold treasure.
May her words be hear by all of Russia and beyond.
Thank you for speaking with courage and honesty. Much respect! 🙏🕊️
Надя, ты Душа! Спасибо тебе за стойкость в позиции и за крутой акционизм! Алексей не сдавался и нам не советовал.
Алексея спонсировали и направляли ЦРУ.А вас и таких как вы он просто подставлял под систему.А вы к сожалению повелись на это.И Толокно ничем не лучше него,продала родину за 30 серебренников.Попробуйте поразмыслить вот над чем-Все что делал Навальный сводилось к рассказу про дворцы олигархов,про которые и так всем известно.А вот никакой конкретной программы он никогда не публиковал,с чего бы это,если он так болел за Россию.
What a speech !! Brave people ! This is so true !!
What a beautiful speech. So articulate. So well-spoken!!!
Wow brave lady. Please god help all these people break free.❤️
NADYA, I HEARD UOU FOR THE FIRST TIME. PRAY TO ALMIGHTY GOD TO PROTECT YOU, AND GIVE YOU DIVINE WISDOM IN THIS WICKED WORLD. I AM SO SORRY THAT YOU WERE PUT IN PRISON FOR SPEAKING FOR FREEDOM... GOD BE WITH YOU NADYA...
Nadya a modern heroin - hugely courageous person.
heroine
She's a good old traitor who sold her country for a fistful of bucks.
As a Finn, i hope one day all our eastern neighbors will have your mindset.
For being proud of one's country or nationality - this very idea is something i cannot comprehend. Why should one be proud of one's country of origin? Every nation's history is a collection of collective oppression and bloodshed. Every tiniest good deed is countered by two deeds of immense evil. I sure can applaud an individual, who can aide in turning the tide for the better, but will only despise the flock reveling in the "achievements" of bygone tyrants.
It's nice to be humble & address the people with politeness. Food for thought
Thank you wonderful person. Proud of you and the hope you give.
It’s just a matter of time for a Free Russia. The good always Win.
Hope so and have to believe so.
The arc of the moral universe doesn’t bend in the direction of justice by itself, I am afraid, neither in Russia nor in these United States.
@@MarkMarkno question about that, brother. The real question is:What are we doing to build a better world today? Each of us has personal responsibility, both for what we do, and for what we failed to do when we could.
We don't need such a shitty freedom wich you have there in US,were LGBTQ,vegans ,oil ,climate protesters get in the way of life of average people and were trans women (with remnants of their former sex between their legs)using same locker room with young girls.We quite content with our own freedom.
No they don't. Example: Trump.
No justice but what we fight for.
Power to the people united you stand ❤
I wonder how the Belarusian flautist Maria Kharkova is? She stood up to Lukashenko as an activitist and has not been heard from since 12th February 2022.
✒️📃 😈
Highfive and support here from Denmark! Well spoken Nadya💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🔥❤️
Mike Johnson should be made to hear Nadya and then tell us all why we should leave her alone to Putin's tender mercies!?
Mike Johnson needs to disappear like his mystery bank account that is suspiciously not transparent so we can't see who's paying him off.
As long as he and his mates are paid by Putin, he will do russia's bidding.
@@OuterGalaxyLounge Agreed.
He is about as Christian as those fake evangelists
Please,don't leave her alone and keep here in US,cause we,in Russia don't need traitors.:)
Thank you!
Bravo Nadya💪🙌very well spoken❤️ you are such a brave woman, i‘m so proud of you😊
And today we say Friendship is sacred.
I didn’t think I would stay for the entire speech. I’m extremely glad I did!
Same here she is amazing and hope she runs for Russia President
Красивая, умная молодая женщина ❤
очень талантливая, особенно талант надюши раскрылся в перфомансе в музее, где её чпокал её бывший бойфренд верзилов. 🤣
RESPECT!!
Courageous soul💫
Much Love & Respect from the States.!!
Keep up the Pressure Nadya,
Ur an Amazingly Strong Woaman & Activist .!! Love is Love, Love..!! ✌️
Pray. America is a heartbeat away from an autocratic criminal who will let the Ukraine suffer. And he promises to inflict horror on his perceived American enemies. Love to Pussy Riot. Love to brave people who rise up for freedom.
That's weird. Putin didn't have the balls to attack Ukraine under Trump but the brainless potato in charge now handed it to him. Weird huh
Defendant/Debtor Trump will never win - The People will not allow it.
British here. Our prayers with America. I’m a lifetime conservative, and I’m confident that no right minded conservative will ever vote for Trump anymore. He’s made his bed and filled it with shit, now he must lie in it. He has stirred the pot with his lies and hate speech, but now he must lick the spoon. We are waiting calmly until Jan 2025. In the meantime we and our European, Aussie, Canadian, and Baltic allies will hold back Russian expansion by supporting Ukraine until dems get the house and senate back in their hands ✊🇺🇦🇬🇧
Vote
Nadya is everything that Trump has never been nor ever will be. Surely the American people can't be serious?
Amazing speech 🙏🌐👍
Nadya is not only a rock 🎸star she is a brilliant, courageous and amazing person who gives me Faith in Russia and in the world. EVERYONE needs to listen to Nadya in Russia and in the world defiantly here in America. Nadya rocks ! Slava Ukraine ! LONG LIVE FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY. ! RIP Alexis Navalny !!!!!!!!
We don't wanna hear this peace of trash here in Russia.So it's for you to listen her:)
I even dont believe shes a rock star but a great human being.
I wouldn’t put her on rock star status…I’m an America that’s something different than this
So powerful Nadya !!! Heartbreaking beautiful sad but ultimately powerful and rousing - God Bless 👍🙏👍
I am really sorry for the loss of your friend. With so much hypocrisy, it is beautiful and liberating to hear someone who is speaking from their heart
Such bravery and deep commitment. Very beautiful. The world desperately needs people like you. Thank you.
Thank you for your endless bravery
Very well said..respect !!
a courageous woman...respect
Thank you for sharing Nadya!
I can’t wait to see you guys this Wednesday!!!
Y'all are legends
Namasté Nadya 🙏 You're a brave woman♥
A message From Russia with Love . We see the Russian people not Putin . Do not be ashamed for being Russian . You love your country you love your people .
Putin talks of history but he doesnt see the future . Thank you for such eloquent but powerful words .
Problem is that lot of the Russian people are in fact pro Putin. The Russian people is not an innocent bystander.
Her Eternal Soul will prevail. Poo Tin will taste of the lowest Hell.
The very definition of "heroine". What a contrast with the cowardly bully Putler.
The strongest pillar is made from hope, belief, and solidarity.
I believe in liberation, elves, and toy stories. In party's long into the cold nights, dancing in the streets, and free people chashing each other gaily through the woods in jest and play.
A world where my children are free, can live, and play. Where none grow up, but we all grow old in peace.
I know the future because I just have to write what I know people are capable of.
I know we are capable of stopping.
I know we are capable of marching.
I know we are capable of caring.
And most of all I know; nothing but peace and liberation for all is substainable, and all else is a deficit. And anyone who reads this can agree, will agree if they do the math.
Because for every freedom fighter who passes on, from violence, from poison, from earth before thier time ten more are made.
The math was never in favor of those who dont believe.
Let us all march together. Let us bound our soldarity.
Let us accept our diffrence and enjoy our commonalities.
This is how the world survives.
The only way left for the world to survive.
And I have hope it does.
We live in momentous times.
Truth! Thank you very much for your important cultural & socialpolitic works and your couraged engagement, and special thanks for this brave & excellent statement.
Надя красивая ❤

Thank you, thank you for such a beautiful speech, its heartwarming 💖 to know that there are Russians who believe in a new russia and one where peoples freedom, democracy and freedom of speech will prevail ❤ again thank you 🇬🇧
Wow ! Nadia. Well said. Peace and Love. X
Democracy needs us!!!
God bless you and keep you safe 🙏
Very powerful.
I hope this speech is also available in Russian.
I think only a miracle if that happens. Putin needs to keep his followers believing him. Some older Russians are too brainwashed sadly.😢
See you in canada
thank you for your courage. may you be protected, supported and victorious
Keep fighting and never ever give up!!!!
Thank you
Good to see the Pussy Riot movement, alive and well. The power is always with the people.
Thank you for what you have done and please keep spreading your messages of truth. Freedom for russians like you and Slava Ukraini!
Wow ! ... I've nothing more to say.
Grandi ragazze... 💯🔝
You are the pride of the human race, all people on Earth should pay tribute to you, for your courage, determination to overcome evil, even sacrificing your lives, may humanity one day give you all the honors, true warriors of good against evil.
Well said! I remember being so happy for Russian people in the era of peristroika, good to know some of you are still brave enough to fight for the future that Gorbachev longed for. Now I pray for freedom first of all for Ukraine but swiftly to follow with life and future for young Russians who oppose war. It's a shame that your elders won't stand with you...like Putin they are Russian failures
You are the best of us….
So POWOLERFUL!
I have watched this video 3 times and can't get over Nadya's Bravery❤
Nadya for Presidente, now ❤
I have a gut feeling that Putin's days are numbered!
We all hope so. Praying for a miracle.
This breaks my heart so completely Cxxx 💚💐🌹 hedgmoon witch fairy 🇬🇧
