Speaking Punk to Power
Borenstein, Eliot
Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, 152 blz., paperback, 2024, ISBN 9781350113534

'Building off the interplay between political protest, language taboos, parody, dissidence and much more, Eliot Borenstein succinctly explains what made Pussy Riot a global phenomenon' - Elena Gapova, Professor of Sociology, Western Michigan University, USA

Both more and less than a band, Pussy Riot is continually misunderstood by the Western media. This book sets the record straight.

After their scandalous performance of an anti-Putin protest song in Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Savior and the imprisonment of two of its members, the punk feminist art collective known as Pussy Riot became an international phenomenon. But, what, exactly, is Pussy Riot, and what are they trying to achieve? The award-winning author Eliot Borenstein explores the movement's explosive history and takes you beyond the hype.

Eliot Borenstein is Professor of Russian & Slavic Studies, Collegiate Professor in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, and Senior Academic Convenor for the Global Network at New York University, USA.
