Moscow, Sept 3 (ANI): A member of the feminist Russian punk band Pussy Riot has said that she regrets nothing about the group's anti-government performance that got them sentenced to two years behind bars.
During an interview with Germany's Der Spiegel magazine, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova said that her conviction with her two band mates was President Vladimir Putin's 'personal revenge' which served to put a global spotlight on his government.
"I think the bottom line is that the trial against us was important because it showed the true face of Putin's system," CBS quoted Tolokonnikova, as saying.
She said Pussy Riot's goal remains 'a revolution in Russia.'
According to the report, Tolokonnikova's answers to the magazine's questions were provided through her lawyer, who is allowed to visit her in prison.
Pussy Riot was convicted of ' hooliganism ' after they had briefly taken over the pulpit at Christ The Savior Cathedral, in February, chanting 'Mother Mary, drive Putin away'. (ANI)
