Masha Ayokhyna

Masha Alyokhina, a member of the Russia anti-Putin group Pussy Riots was interviewed on BBC's Newsnight last evening.

 She spent two years in prison in Siberia, which she said had all the horror and cruelty of a Russia prison of 100 years ago.

 An impressive woman. 

 She put Putin and Trump on the one team and sees the Russian President as the face behind an oppresive Russia 'conglomerate'

I haven't seen the interview last night on BBC... but i definitely have seen a few videos about 'Pussy Riots' in action. One of the more 'harmless once' from that group is listed below, also an interview with Putin about them:
