Lusya Stein has been sentenced in absentia to six years in prison for ‘discrediting the Russian army’
Pussy Riot member and former deputy of Moscow’s Basmanny District, Lyudmila (Lusya) Stein
A member of the anarchist punk group Pussy Riot, Lusya Stein, has been sentenced in absentia to over six years in prison for spreading fake news about the Russian army, according to a verdict handed down by Moscow’s Basmanny District Court on Wednesday.
insert comment: Although there is still no Martial Law or General Mobilization in Russia draconian repressive laws have been introduced in the context of the ongoing war with Ukraine/NATO. The latest sentences shows how repression continues, for instance against the Pussy Riot artists’ effective agitprop actions exposing to Russian youth the authoritarian, machista and ridiculous culture of their elite political and religious rulers. – With the Russian State presently uniting people in a ‘fight for existence’ any positive criticism of dangerous centralized state power is seen as subversive and traitorous and much longer prison sentences are being handed out. Both Lusya Stein and Maria Alyokhina fled Russia just in time, but when the war is finally over Pussy Riot’s ideas may well triumph.
In addition to having to serve “six years and 15 days” in a general population correctional colony, Stein is also to be barred from administering websites or posting anything on the internet or other “information and telecommunication networks” for a period of 3.5 years, the court ruled.
State prosecutors, who demanded 8.5 years in prison for the activist, noted that Stein’s term includes the time she has yet to serve under a previous conviction from August 2021. The sentence will come into force as soon as she is extradited to Russia or is detained on Russian territory.
Stein is believed to have left Russia in April 2022 together with another member of Pussy Riot, Maria Alyokhina, after they were sentenced to one year in prison for taking part in protests in violation of coronavirus restrictions.
‘What do you want your world to look like?
What do you want it to be?
Do you know that a wall has two sides?
And nobody is free? ….‘
The latest case against Stein was opened in 2022, charging her with discrediting the Russian army online. At the time, she was placed on the national wanted list. In November 2023, the Basmanny court ‘arrested her in absentia’ for two months and she was placed on the international wanted list.

In August 2022, Stein was arrested in Switzerland along with several other members of Pussy Riot for trying to spray paint graffiti on a wall in the town of Koeniz. They were eventually released and slapped with a $400 fine. The group left vowing to “spread our message to other countries,” and stated they were willing to “face further arrests” if needed.

Did your mama come from Mexico
Papa come from Palestine
Sneaking all through Syria
Crossing all the border lines
Let other people in
Listen to your women
Stop killing black children
Make America Great Again
Could you imagine a politician
calling a woman a dog?
Do you wanna stay in the kitchen?
Is that where you belong?
How do you picture the perfect leader
Who do you want him to be
Has he promoted the use of torture and killing families
Let other people in
Listen to your women
Stop killing black children
Make America Great Again

Be Pussy Riot. It’s fun.
In the video, America’s new leader relies on muscled thugs to enforce his values, often by branding people he doesn’t like with hot metal. As Trump’s stormtroopers engage in various forms of torture, Pussy Riot sing a simple refrain: «Let other people in/ Listen to your women/ Stop killing black children/ Make America great again.»
The jaunty, carefree music contrasts with the brutal events depicted on screen. The track came together with help from Ricky Reed, who has written and produced hits for Jason Derulo, Pitbull and 21 Pilots. Jonas Akerlund, who has helmed clips for Beyoncé and Taylor Swift, directed the clip.
«Make America Great Again» is the third video that Pussy Riot released this week, following «Straight Outta Vagina» and «Organs.» Both those songs featured production from TV on the Radio’s Dave Sitek, with all three songs appearing on the band’s new EP, xxx
