“Nous prévoyons de nouvelles manifestations, mais je vous demanderai de ne pas divulguer ces informations.” Le 17 août, jour du verdict qui a condamné les Pussy Riot à deux ans de camp en Russie, Inna Shevchenko a attaqué l’Église à la tronçonneuse. Au nom des Femen, elle a scié l’immense croix qui jouxtait la principale place de Kyiv. Au nom de ses soeurs d’armes russes aussi.

Pletené barevné masky připomínající kukly zvané balaklava, trička za 25 dolarů zobrazující nahé ženské poprsí a plyšoví medvídci, takové jsou v současnosti nejznámější symboly protirežimního odporu v Rusku, na Ukrajině a v Bělorusku.
