Pussy Riot co-founder & activist Nadya Tolokonnikova speaks with CNN’s Jim Sciutto about the anti-war protests happening in Russia as Russian President Vladimir Putin mobilizes citizens for the war effort in Ukraine. #CNN #News
I'm amazed that Nadya is still alive. When she was in jail, she went missing for a month "between transfers" after going on a hunger strike to protest abuses in the prison. Many people believed she was killed but thankfully wasn't when she remerged at a prison hospital. God only knows what she endured during that time. A brave woman.
Absolutely amazing she made it! During her time in jail they tried to put Nadyia in the same sell with tuberculosis's patient, could you believe?!Just for reason to shut her down..
The standard Russian mental and physical torture plus... she's one of my heroes. Britney grinder would whoop 5 guards easy. They're scared around her 👌
Was it worth? I admire her sacrifice, but the same people she is fighting for think very bad things about her, thanx to non-stop propaganda of the regime machine
This girl is the most powerful presence I've seen in years. Nervous for the interview yet she risks her and her family's life with each sentence. Damn. Tough chick no doubt.
@@bobbobbing12 Are you talking about the Skripals? The elder Skripal was clearly engaged in some criminal cases and involved his children in them. You probably don't know, but Skripal's son was killed in Moscow about six months before the poisoning of Skripal Sr. and daughter in Britain. My version is that they themselves did something chemical and poisoned themselves. That's why Skripal lived near Porton Down. In this center, someone secretly sold some substances to Skripal. Skripal was released from a Russian prison. If our people wanted to kill him, they would have killed him there. By the way, Yulia Skripal's cousin Victoria has stayed in Moscow, no one touches her, no one needs her. They tell you scary fairy tales about Russia. And you wonder, like fools: "Oh, and how did this Tolokonnikova stay alive? Is this possible in Russia? Everyone is being killed there!" No one is being killed here. Even murderers, although the whole society wants the return of the death penalty.
@@sweety29may Did you see the interviews the two suspects gave? I saw how they inferred their unexplainable visit to Salisbury. as possibly a gay weekend! Which in Russia wouldn't be tolerated, So any further questioning by the west could possibly expose them to Homophobia by Russians. Very clever but very obvious.
I'm a old man and to see this young lady gives me faith the world will get through this horrible period. And when I'm gone young people can do a better job than my generation.
Wise words. Same with the blonde reporter. She held that paper which said no against the war. People like that, give all of us hope. I hope Russia one day will join Europe, as a friend. Not with that we 'are enemies kind of attitude'. Martin Luther king had a dream. Well I have dreams as well. Hopefully they will not stay dreams but become reality.
No words can describe what this incredible human is. She simply is too grand for words. I wish all the best for her and her family. I am just stunned and speechless. ❤️
I'm surprised this woman is alive now. I remember how much resistance she and her band presented against Russia. It is crazy how brave she has been over the years because she never stood down. She's truly the hope for Democracy across the World, not just Russia. She's a shining star. ✨
The lady is ridiculous and so are all the protesters, why protest you can’t change the man’s mind he’s the chief there and he’s made his decision it’s not like he’s gonna retract. And it’s disrespectful to say the least that they would even go into the church and do the things that they had done in there earlier protesting. There’s a time in a place for everything and the church is not a place for photos. What’s wrong with people you guys gotta straighten up. People need to be more concerned as to why America keeps selling weapons to Zelinski it’s none of their business what’s going on there America could be next. Everybody thinks that America is the strongest country but without the Lord watching over the country the watchmen watching band. Basically without the Lord America’s nothing and it has turned into a satanic country so I think America needs to worry about what they’re doing. You guys are all stick it out for America and America have alternate reasons as to why they think they should take over Russia America complete idiots. The only country that made Satan a religion, and are starting to put mental Health into the elementary school so that they can get the kids on drugs. And America’s a free country you can’t go and kill and rape first Nations children in the name of the Lord and think that the Lord is just gonna sit back and let America go unpunished. America needs to repent big time. America never stands up for right this is all propaganda you guys are idiots and more than likely will be destroyed. And rightfully so nobody ever stands up with the first Nations people you guys act like they don’t even exist when your churches raped and murdered all their children what a goddamn shame.
@@thatwatchtower2095 So you pretend to be a follower of Jesus' teachings?? Sure!! You've laid bare that pretention and hypocrisy right here, along with any notions of believing in freedom or caring for others in need. Thanks for playing!!
@@thatwatchtower2095 This woman gave to the world so much so far! that you won't be able ever to comprehend. And speaking of church, Patriarch Kirill is a puppet of putin's, who as a former KGB agent now lighting the candles in church and cruising his hands after he and his party were blowing churches up. Kirill then wearing his $30.000 Breguet watch, for which he was shredded to pieces in media around the world, is then no surprise. Maybe he got it to remember, if he won't be obedient, his time is over. And he is. He endorses putin and Ukrainian aggression on daily basis. He could learn from this woman a lot, as well as you!
A woman with true courage, and willing to fight and suffer for individual freedom. The world needs more Nadya Tolokonnikovas. It also speaks for her moral courage that she is more willing to speak up for Brittney Griner than most Americans themselves are.
@@lukeGGlee - I am no fan of Brittney Griner. But that doesn't mean she should be thrown into some dungeon in Russia, unless she is a proven criminal. There are many people I don't like (and may even detest) for their ideas and what they represent, but that DOES NOT mean they should be thrown into jail, simply they are not agreeable people, or who I would associate with. That is what democracy and freedom is all about, where every individual has a right to be who they are, as long as they are not criminals and harming others. I hope you get my drift...
Vladimir Putin, is a bit like a re-enactment of the “Wizard of Oz” he wants everyone to fear and be in Awe of him. However, like the Wizard, behind it all he is just an ordinary little person, who is a bad wizard?
"From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matthew 4:17 "Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also." Matthew 5:38-39 "Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar's. And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's." Luke 20:24-25 "And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly." Matthew 6:5-6 "But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just." Luke 14:13-14||
This woman deserves to be part of the future democratic Russian republic parliament, together with Navalny, Kasparov and many other active members of russian democratic society.
what future democratic republic? the russian opposition is so weak and disorganised that it's almost funny. putin's power is not threatened by the russian people. if anything, he's threatened by other top political officials, but if those try to kill or depose him, they'll have lots of problems with the 50+% of russian people who support putin.
Um, no.. As a Ukrainian, I strongly disagree. Navalny is an imperialist, just like the vast majority of russians. For example, he thinks russia should continue to occupy Crimea (his famous "Crimea is not a sandwich" phrase).
Angelo, there will be no "future democratic Russian republic parliament". You should understand the mentality of Russian people. It is the same, like to wish "future democratic republic parliament" in Afghanistan, Iraq or Syria. Just impossible.
democratic russia is utopia, because russia is empire, that slaved dozens of nations during past hundreds years, thats why democracy in russia = breakup russia to the many small countries😉 someone need to study history of russia, before posting this wrong messages
My heart goes out to all of these young men in Russia, they do not want to fight for an egotistical man, who demands whatever he wants. Everyone in Russia should go on strike against this war. This young lady is extremely brave, I respect her immensely.
I was going to say that you don't know much about the situation in Russia, but I have to correct myself and say that you don't know at all. Russia is fighting for its very existence. More to it the future of the world is being decided in Ukraine. Pity but a lot of people in the world like you don't even realize that Russia is fighting against Ukrainian Nazis, the same, the USA and Britain were fighting side by side in the years of the second world war. Now Western countries chose the side of the Nazis which proves that they're Nazies themselves. Their war is not against Putin but against Russia and Russians, and they won't rest until they eliminate Russia completely. So Russia has no other option but to win. The nuclear country can't lose the war. I hope you understand what I mean. Don't let them fool you. Use your brains.
What a profoundly amazing woman ♥️ We all must stand against oppression and the sick tyrants of the world! Our future is peace and freedom! Not authoritarianism!
Lol you do realize the other side say the same thing about Nato, criminally invaded Iraq.. it's all monkey see monkey do.. even if you wanted peace uncle Sam order's your working class to go to war, they will go to war.. what if the world globally overthrew ANYONE who started wars or world wars, the profiteers?
She unironically said Western civilization. mask off moment for her as a disgusting cia op,western exceptionalist and a disgusting westoid,white supremacist, believing in fucking the 3rd world, imperial periphery nations for the luxurious lifestyle of labor aristocrats in the imperial core nations,disgusting anarchist(which is expected from any western 1st worlder anarchist no international working class solidarity) She is talking to a channel who were war mongering about the genocide of Iraqi people and other 3rd world nations people by the disgusting barbaric usa govt. Did she forget usa has the highest no. Of people under penitentiary even though usa has 4 times less population than china or india Or Guantanamo bay do I need to explain farther And yes this capitalist Russian govt is really bad too and they invaded Ukraine for to have a buffer zone between Europe nato and then also for resources and it is a proxy war going between the west and Russia
look at her actions and how she bravely fought the regime www.paparazzi.ru/upload/wysiwyg_files/img/1539204555.jpg and drop another tear. when CNN show such idiots they are truly support putin's regime
For all Russians stay strong with your president Puttin enough is enough Europeans and Americans always messing up Russia Two assholes pure evil NATO and USA created this war to hurt Russia reputation and Russia economy
Zelenski destroys everyone who speaks Russian, has relatives or other connections in Russia. He swore to destroy Russia, and the Russians should surrender to the knacker?
@@hurvineldon1825 Oh man you're right! That means 100% that Putin's actually a good guy and none of what you hear about him tossing people in jail and whacking people for having different opinions is true! The two things are mutually exclusive! 🤡
Nadya Tolokonnikova and Pussy Riot are among the true heroes. It is worth noting how often artists, writers, and journalists are as brave as any soldier!

Nadya Tolokonnikova is a brave advocate for Russia's future. The brutality shown in the video should be viewed by people in the U.S. who have a misguided desire for authoritarian leaders. Ms. Tolokonnikova speaks eloquently and from experience.
They wouldn't feel alluded. Trump followers see themselves as freedom fighters against totalitarianism. It just doesn't fit into their brains that totalitarianism may not necessarily be related to what they consider communism.
The ones who support the authoritarian movement, think "they" would never be assaulted by the current SS troops. They want the people and ideas they personally hate to be assaulted. They don't understand sooner or later it will happen to them too.
An amazing young lady who has already gone thru a lot!! Thank you for pushing toward peace thru-out both countries. GLORY TO UKRAINE GLORY TO GOD GLORY TO OUR HERO'S GOD BLESS
Thank you for a good interview. Intelligent and straight-forward. I agree the arts are important in the future. They may help us all get beyond where we are at now. Good luck to her.
She may be a hero, but using profanity in a place of Worship is still a pretty terrible thing to do and Pussy Riot used profanity in a place of Worship when they sang there protest song.
She is so brave that she fled her homeland and became a traitor. . . The FSB is doing its job, it will be easy to find her. Just like they found Navaly ;)

Now make sure you don't do your own research of what those colors you proudly displaying actually represents. Just keep believing Oopie and the rest of the $30 million a year talking heads tell you. What was it her Evil Traitor cohart said. "How dare you go against Communism"!? Should tell you Media "Sheep" something, but you are all to "Brainwashed" to think for yourselves! Nevermind these overpaid Traitor's are intentionally destroying the Country. The policies they are most concerned with is abortion and "grooming" your children. While calling those that oppose them EVIL?! If you believe these Child trafficking, Pedophile promoting FOOLS. There is Zero hope for you.
Love the strength of her to openly protest "Putins Russia". Also all the others who will put themselves in danger to protest, I can only praise them and their bravery.
Nothing will work ..all feminist will be killed and Russia and China will destroy America and west. Meanwhile aliens will land on earth . This is end of west and rise of east .
The PTSD response in the form of facial tics after responding the Russian prison question at the end is ... I dont know if there are words to describe that.

@@bhgirlhello3819 She was somewhat nervous the whole interview and flitting between recall and speaking to the camera. She was recalling (eyes up and to the left) when she came across the guards being able to do what ever they want. She stopped flitting between recall and speaking to the camera, she shut down her response in a pattern inconsistent with her speech pattern, and her face started twitching a.k.a a tic (there is no K by the way). You can repress traumatic stress but it will come out in other ways. At least one of the ways hers comes out is a facial tic -- there are other explanations such as tourette's -- but those other explanations are also associated with triggers which leads us back to the recall about the guards doing whatever they want.
It’s easier to fall into dictatorships now than ever before, because the ability of the state to surveil and disappear their citizens is only increasing
Dictatorships exists because the people doesn't stop it. Go on strike for your own sake. It is easier than you think! You just have to do nothing! Don't go to work, don't go to school, refuse military service. Until the dictator "resign" The dictator can not put all protesters in jail if there is a lot of them.
Such a brave young woman…she is a great role model for all girls across the world. I am so very sorry for all she and her family have breen put through by the evil of Putin. 🙏🏻💚☮️

Nadya Tolokonnikova - extraordinary woman. I respect you so much. Thank you for sharing your insight. I hope very much that you and your colleagues can be the furture of Russia
Nadya Kolokonnikova really impresses me! Most men (including myself) would be scared as hell to end up in a Russian jail...! You don't have any rights there and the big guards can do whatever they want with you! "Accidents" happen all the time. It really takes a HUGE amount of bravery and a huge ❤️ to do that! 💪👍🏻
I am so sorry 😞 for all that's happening. My heart goes to all the people that has the courage, to stand for what is right and deffendig our values as humans been. Surely this situation ,that we are living, should stop. No one can benefit from suffering. It's just a big mess for everyone. My prayers 🙏
