- The Pussy Riot activist has fled Russia.
- The singer escaped from the penal camp.
- After escaping, she did not lose hope for freedom in her homeland.
Maria Alyokhina said that there will be no freedom in Russia under President Vladimir Putin. She will continue to protest against the Russian regime with Pussy Riot – also with a concert tour.
Despite police surveillance, Alyokhina managed to escape from Russia. With the help of friends, she arrived in Lithuania via Belarus, disguised as a food delivery service.
In April she decided to leave Russia: the police announced 21 days of concentration camps. An acquaintance brought her to the Belarusian border in a car and arrived in Lithuania a week later.
The Belarusian border guards pushed her away twice, but she succeeded the third time. A European country has issued a travel document that grants it a status similar to that of an EU citizen. This document was smuggled into Belarus. Despite everything, she hopes that at some point she will be able to return to Russia.
