History
In February 2012, Diana Burkot and other members of the feminist punk band Pussy Riot protested inside Moscow’s Cathedral of Christ the Saviour against the church and its support for Russian president Vladimir Putin.
Some members were arrested and put on a trial which made the news inside Russia and around the world.
Diana kept her participation in the protest secret and avoided going to prison. She shares her memories with Alex Collins.
