Words Will Break Cement: The Passion of Pussy Riot

When Pussy riot burst into a Russian cathedral in 2012, their country's leaders weren't ready for their critique, but the world was. Journalist Masha Gessen tells their story, drawing on exclusive interviews with members of the band and their families and friends. She shows how each young woman came to be involved, the rise of their artistic and political project, and the consequences they faced, from intimidation and violence to prison camps, as a result of their courageous expression that has inspired millions. The human story behind one of the greatest phenomena of the 2010s is worth reading.
