"In Russian territory, freedom of expression, a treasure that does not tolerate restrictions or rash judgments, far less the imposition of moral or social standards, is disappearing bit by bit. The story of the three members of the punk group comes at just the right time to shake up the constraints of a totally rigid Russian society. The three seeds of rebellion are, above all, three seeds that are putting pressure on Vladimir Putin’s apparatus of power. Activists, resistance fighters, agitators, militants: the photo of these women locked up in a glass cage was beamed around the world, reflecting the rejection of a judicial system that is reminiscent of the dark times of Stalinist trials. At that time, it took a great deal of courage to dare criticise the dictator in the Kremlin. The Russian poet Osip Mandelstam did not lack any such courage when he wrote, in 1934, an epigram against Stalin, a text that resulted in the writer being exiled to Siberia, where he died in 1938. The band members have received two years’ hard labour for having protested against the authorities. We should probably be more vigilant about respect for human rights when signing trade agreements that are binding on Europe."@en1
