Riot Days by Maria Alyokhina

4.0

This memoir was really interesting. I learned a lot about Russia and Pussy Riot . Despite the dire conditions of the prisons Alyokhina lived in, she continued protesting and was able to publicize the human rights violations and win a court case against the prison guards. I'm really glad I picked this book up. It was a bit difficult for me to follow at times because the writing was disjointed at times, and I had to look up a lot since I don't know much about Russia. Overall, a pretty quick, engaging memoir by a very impressive woman.
