'One of the most brilliant and inspiring things I've read in years. Couldn't put it down. This book is freedom' Chris Kraus, author ofI Love Dick
'A women's prison memoir like no other! One tough cookie!' @MargaretAtwood
'Once you begin reading, you are completely disarmed, unable to put it down until the last page' Marina Abramovic
People who believe in freedom and democracy think it will exist forever.
That is a mistake. What happened in Russia - what happened to me - could happen anywhere.
When I was jailed for political protest, I learned that prison doesn't just teach you to follow the rules. It teaches you to think that you can never break them.
It's inevitable that the prison gates will open at some point. But this doesn't mean that you leave the 'prisoner' category and go straight into the category of 'the free'.
Freedom does not exist unless you fight for it every day.
This is the story about how I made a choice.

A future cult classic
In oppressive political systems, some of the most effective weapons are sarcasm and dark humour. It is exactly these weapons that are employed by Masha Alyokhina in the brilliantly writtenRiot Days.Once you begin reading, you are completely disarmed, unable to put it down until the last page
Riot Dayscould so easily have been a straightforward, from-the-horse's-mouth confessional account of one of the most publicised political protests of recent years. Alyokhina takes on a far greater challenge: creating a text that isnot just a reflection on a piece of art, but becomes one itself, and one that, in many places, lives up to her own criteria of protest: that it must be "desperate, sudden, and joyous"
Theliterary equivalent of guerrilla street art
Urgent and bold
[An]energetic and enjoyableprison diary ...A search for meaningful protestin an age in which presidents often appear to be playful performance artists
Alyokhina's eye forsurreal detailgivesRiot Daysa welcome dose of dark humor ... Through the chinks in the abusive system,Alyokhina glimpses human beings
Strong, brave, honest, touching, bitter and sad
One of the mostbrilliant and inspiringthings I've read in years. Couldn't put it down.This book is freedom
Accessible andinspiring
Fascinating and important... What's most striking is its universality
Iconoclastic
