Marsha, hello and welcome to 7am. voice-verified

You're here in Australia right now, and it's been several years since you left Russia. voice-verified

To begin with, could you tell us about why you left Russia? voice-verified

I've heard you talk in the past about how a country is not turned into a fascist state over one day or even one event, that it's a slow, patient, payful process of getting people used to living a certain way. voice-verified

Can you tell me about some of the ways you saw that happen in your own country? voice-verified

A lot of uh Putin's power relies on convincing people that resistance is impossible. voice-verified

When Pussy Riot first began, what were you trying to awaken in other Russians? voice-verified

How do you break that belief that change will never come? voice-verified

Marsha, the war against Ukraine has now been going for more than four years. voice-verified

Tell me about the impact that you're seeing and hearing that it's having in in Russia. voice-verified

Is it making people in Russia angry at Putin, or is it making people in Russia angry at Ukraine? voice-verified

Do you think that this voice-verified

Kleptocracy in in Russia will end when Putin goes or dies, or are are the conditions still gonna remain in Russia for this sort of oppression to continue on beyond him? voice-verified

Marsha, you said that everything is political, even doing nothing, choosing to do or say nothing is political, and that it's a choice to be indifferent or apathetic, and it means that you're essentially voting for the status quo. voice-verified

Are you concerned that there's a growing apathy across the world that is allowing authoritarianism to take hold both in the East and in the West? voice-verified

Well Marsha, thank you for speaking with us on seven AM. voice-verified
