Dialogue: 0,0:00:08.87,0:00:14.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if that was the case then the proceedings here would be irrelevant
Dialogue: 0,0:00:14.21,0:00:18.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It is the entire state system of the Russian Federation which is on trial
Dialogue: 0,0:00:18.95,0:00:24.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and which, to its own detriment, takes such pleasure in inflicting cruelty on people
Dialogue: 0,0:00:24.50,0:00:27.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and indifference to human respect and dignity.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:27.31,0:00:30.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,As bad as the very worst of Russian history.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:30.88,0:00:35.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The simulation of a court process comes close to the standards of Stalin's "troikas" [extrajudicial panels]
Dialogue: 0,0:00:35.06,0:00:37.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to my deep regret.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:37.55,0:00:40.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thus, we have our investigator, lawyer and judge.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:40.06,0:00:43.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then, what’s more, what all three of them do and say and decide
Dialogue: 0,0:00:43.54,0:00:49.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is determined by a political demand for repression.

Dialogue: 0,0:00:51.46,0:00:53.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the performance at the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour
Dialogue: 0,0:00:53.85,0:00:56.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the trial which followed our concert?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:56.66,0:00:59.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The authoritarian political system is guilty.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.58,0:01:03.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That which Pussy Riot does, is opposition art
Dialogue: 0,0:01:03.30,0:01:07.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or even politics, taking on forms developed by art.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.50,0:01:10.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In any case it is the kind of civil activity
Dialogue: 0,0:01:10.26,0:01:14.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,under conditions of pressure from a corporate state system
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.19,0:01:16.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on basic human rights
Dialogue: 0,0:01:16.46,0:01:19.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on civil and political freedoms.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.25,0:01:24.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Many people, who have been methodically robbed of their freedoms
Dialogue: 0,0:01:24.73,0:01:29.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are now rebelling.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.72,0:01:32.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We are looking for sincerity and simplicity
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.46,0:01:35.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we found both in our punk performances.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:35.23,0:01:46.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Passion, sincerity, and naivety are above hypocrisy, deceit, feigned modesty, and hiding your crime.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:46.21,0:01:50.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The country's top brass stand in cathedral with righteous faces
Dialogue: 0,0:01:50.78,0:01:54.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but they are sly, their sins are far greater than ours.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:54.17,0:01:57.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We do our political punk concerts because
Dialogue: 0,0:01:57.87,0:01:59.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the Russian state system is ruled by such
Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.93,0:02:02.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,stiffness, opacity, and class
Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.63,0:02:07.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and policies are subject only to narrow corporate interests
Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.39,0:02:11.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so much so that Russian air makes us ill.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.50,0:02:13.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Against our wishes, we are made to act and live
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.96,0:02:18.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with the politically coercive and violent techniques
Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.07,0:02:22.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to control social processes.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.22,0:02:25.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The situation, when the most important political institutions
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.45,0:02:28.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are the state's disciplinary structures,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.31,0:02:31.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,law enforcement, the army, the police, the security services
Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.72,0:02:35.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the corresponding means for achieving political stability involve
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.06,0:02:41.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,prisons, preventive detention, mechanisms of strict control over the behaviour of citizens.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.17,0:02:46.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We also do not like the forced passivity of most of the civilian population
Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.58,0:02:50.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and also the complete domination of executive branch
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.67,0:02:53.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,over the legislature and judiciary.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.01,0:02:55.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In addition, we are sincerely annoyed
Dialogue: 0,0:02:55.43,0:02:59.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at the scandalously low level of political culture, built on fear
Dialogue: 0,0:02:59.21,0:03:02.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a level which consciously supports the state system and its cronies.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.79,0:03:05.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Just look at what Patriarch Kirill says
Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.20,0:03:07.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that Orthodox believers do not attend the demonstrations.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.39,0:03:11.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We are annoyed by the scandalous weakness
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.08,0:03:14.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of community connections within society.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:14.31,0:03:17.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We do not like the state's manipulation of public opinion
Dialogue: 0,0:03:17.74,0:03:23.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,easily carried out thanks to tight control over most media
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.01,0:03:26.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by state agencies, and for example,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:26.57,0:03:32.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the exceptionally arrogant and base distortion of facts and words in the campaign against Pussy Riot,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:32.53,0:03:35.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,launched in almost all Russian media,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.34,0:03:40.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,except for independent ones, a rarity in this political system.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.54,0:03:44.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Nonetheless I now state that
Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.98,0:03:51.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,even though this situation is authoritarian
Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.30,0:03:54.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and even though the political system is authoritarian
Dialogue: 0,0:03:54.99,0:04:02.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I still see the collapse of this political system
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.42,0:04:06.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in its response to the three members of Pussy Riot
Dialogue: 0,0:04:06.58,0:04:10.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because that which the system depends on, was wrong.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.22,0:04:17.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Unfortunately for the system, Russia as a whole does not condemn us
Dialogue: 0,0:04:17.05,0:04:20.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and with every day more and more people believe us and believe in us
Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.67,0:04:24.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and think we should be free rather than behind bars.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:24.11,0:04:26.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I can see this from people I meet.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:26.57,0:04:34.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I meet people who represent the system, who work for the relevant agencies.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:34.53,0:04:42.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And every day there are more and more people who wish us well
Dialogue: 0,0:04:42.52,0:04:46.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who hope for our success and especially for our release
Dialogue: 0,0:04:46.77,0:04:49.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who say our political act was justified
Dialogue: 0,0:04:49.97,0:04:52.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,More and more, people tell us
Dialogue: 0,0:04:52.90,0:04:58.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,At first, we weren't sure you could have done this
Dialogue: 0,0:04:58.42,0:05:03.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but every day there are more and more people who say
Dialogue: 0,0:05:03.49,0:05:10.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Time is proving to us that your political gesture was correct.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:10.20,0:05:21.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You have exposed the cancer in this political system and dealt a blow to a nest of vipers, which then turned on you.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:21.46,0:05:26.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,These people are trying to make life easier for us in whatever way they can
Dialogue: 0,0:05:26.87,0:05:29.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we are very grateful to them for that
Dialogue: 0,0:05:29.26,0:05:32.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We are grateful to all those who, free themselves, speak out in our support.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:32.72,0:05:35.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There are a vast number, I know.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:35.07,0:05:39.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I know that a huge number of Orthodox people are standing up for us.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:39.36,0:05:43.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They are praying for us outside the courtroom
Dialogue: 0,0:05:43.56,0:05:48.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for the members of Pussy Riot who are incarcerated.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:48.35,0:05:53.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We’ve seen the booklets Orthodox people are handing out
Dialogue: 0,0:05:53.76,0:05:58.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with prayers for those in prison
Dialogue: 0,0:05:58.31,0:06:05.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This shows that there isn’t a unified social group of Orthodox believers
Dialogue: 0,0:06:05.81,0:06:09.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as the prosecution is claiming.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:09.34,0:06:11.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,No such thing exists.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:11.34,0:06:17.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,More and more believers are starting to defend Pussy Riot.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:17.02,0:06:24.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They don’t think what we did deserves even five months in detention
Dialogue: 0,0:06:24.90,0:06:31.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,much less the three years in prison the prosecutor would like.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:31.75,0:06:34.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And every day, more and more people realize
Dialogue: 0,0:06:34.93,0:06:38.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that if this political system has ganged up to this extent against three girls
Dialogue: 0,0:06:38.99,0:06:43.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for a 30-second performance in the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour
Dialogue: 0,0:06:43.19,0:06:47.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it means the system is afraid of the truth
Dialogue: 0,0:06:47.47,0:06:51.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and afraid of our sincerity and directness
Dialogue: 0,0:06:51.53,0:06:55.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We haven’t dissembled, not for a second
Dialogue: 0,0:06:55.20,0:06:58.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not for a minute during this trial
Dialogue: 0,0:06:58.82,0:07:02.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but the other side is dissembling too much and people can sense it.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:02.60,0:07:05.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,People can sense the truth.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:05.07,0:07:09.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Truth really does have some kind of ontological, existential superiority over lies
Dialogue: 0,0:07:09.90,0:07:14.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and this is written in the Bible, in the Old Testament in particular.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:14.82,0:07:22.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In the end, the ways of truth always triumph over the ways of wickedness, guile and lies.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:22.13,0:07:25.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And with each day that passes,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:25.94,0:07:34.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the ways of truth are more and more triumphant
Dialogue: 0,0:07:34.07,0:07:36.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,even though we are still behind bars
Dialogue: 0,0:07:36.51,0:07:38.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and are likely to be here a lot longer yet.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:38.67,0:07:41.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Madonna performed yesterday [7 August].
Dialogue: 0,0:07:41.45,0:07:45.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,She appeared with Pussy Riot written on her back.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:45.58,0:07:48.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,More and more people can see
Dialogue: 0,0:07:48.63,0:07:51.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that we are being held here unlawfully and on a completely false charge
Dialogue: 0,0:07:51.25,0:07:53.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I’m overwhelmed by this
Dialogue: 0,0:07:53.64,0:08:01.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I am overwhelmed that truth really does triumph over lies
Dialogue: 0,0:08:01.03,0:08:04.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,even though physically we are here in a cage.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:04.63,0:08:07.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We are freer than the people sitting opposite us
Dialogue: 0,0:08:07.06,0:08:09.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for the prosecution because we can say everything we like
Dialogue: 0,0:08:09.99,0:08:16.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we do, but those people sitting there say only what political censorship allows them to say.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:16.05,0:08:21.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They can’t speak words like “punk prayer” or "Virgin Mary, Banish Putin!”
Dialogue: 0,0:08:21.86,0:08:29.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They can’t say the lines from our punk prayer that have to do with the political system.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:29.42,0:08:34.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Perhaps they think it wouldn’t be a bad thing to send us to jail
Dialogue: 0,0:08:34.30,0:08:36.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because we are rising up against Putin and his system as well
Dialogue: 0,0:08:36.81,0:08:39.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but they can’t say so because that’s not allowed either.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:39.85,0:08:43.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Their mouths are sewn shut. Unfortunately, they are mere puppets.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:43.15,0:08:50.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I hope they realize this and also take the road to freedom, truth and sincerity
Dialogue: 0,0:08:50.07,0:08:59.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because these are superior to stasis, contrived decency and hypocrisy.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:59.45,0:09:06.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Stasis and the search for truth are always in opposition to one another
Dialogue: 0,0:09:06.41,0:09:09.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and in this case, at this trial,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:09.20,0:09:12.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we can see people who are trying to find the truth
Dialogue: 0,0:09:12.06,0:09:16.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and people who are trying to enslave those who want to find the truth.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:16.82,0:09:22.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Humans are beings who always make mistakes.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:22.25,0:09:24.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They are not perfect.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:24.99,0:09:28.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They strive for wisdom but never actually have it.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:28.08,0:09:31.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That’s precisely why philosophy came into being,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:31.10,0:09:35.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,precisely because philosophers are people who love wisdom and strive for it,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:35.04,0:09:37.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but never actually possesses it
Dialogue: 0,0:09:37.95,0:09:42.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it is what drives them to act and to think
Dialogue: 0,0:09:42.66,0:09:45.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and, ultimately, to live the way they do.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:45.14,0:09:49.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is what made us go into the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:49.30,0:10:01.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I think that Christianity, as I’ve understood it from studying the Old and New Testaments,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:01.17,0:10:07.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,supports the search for truth and a constant overcoming of the self,
