Pussy Riot reveals a clip against Vladimir Putin and the war in Ukraine

Russian singers denounce Vladimir Putin’s actions in Ukraine in a new title Mom, don’t watch TV.

The Pussy Riot are dedicated to singing against the war in Ukraine. The Russian feminist group, which has opposed Vladimir Putin’s policies for years, released the clip of Mom, don’t watch TVwhich collects in particular images of the Kremlin’s military offensives on Ukraine.

On YouTube, in the description of the video, Pussy Riot explains the origin of the song’s title (“Mom, don’t watch TV”, in French). While Russian state television regularly presents Ukraine as a “neo-Nazi” state, the singers write:

“The chorus is based on the words of a captured Russian soldier who, in a telephone conversation with his mother, told her: ‘Mom, there are no Nazis here, don’t watch TV'”, he explains when condemning “Russian newspapers”. . propaganda” that “poisons people’s hearts with hate.

Appeal to the international community

Those who call the Putin regime a “terrorist regime”, and “Putin himself, members of his government, his generals and those responsible for his propaganda” as “war criminals”, add:

“Russia has continued its military aggression on Ukrainian territory since 2014, when Russian troops annexed Crimea and began to occupy the Donbass region. Every day since then Ukraine has had to fight for its right to life and freedom, fight to guarantee its sovereignty. .”

Finally, they ask the international community for “an embargo on the purchase of Russian oil and gas, as well as on the sale of arms and ammunition to Russia”, to “freeze the bank accounts and assets of Russian representatives and oligarchs”.

They also demand that an “international court try Vladimir Putin, propaganda employees of the Russian state, army officers and anyone responsible for the genocide of the Ukrainian nation.”

The Pussy Riot have made a name for themselves through acts of highly political brilliance, from a prayer against Putin sung in a Moscow cathedral in 2012 to advocating for the gay community, harassed by Russian authorities.

In 2019, they played sold-out shows in Alabama to support abortion rights in the United States. Last May, they spoke on BFMTV to denounce “Russian state propaganda” and testify to their “horror” and “disgust” at alleged rapes by Russian soldiers of Ukrainians.
