“We have the right to refuse. This is our right, yours and mine. You can't know all the laws by heart, you don't know what will happen if you refuse. But you have to try.”
Maria Alyokhina, Riot Days
“There is no certainty or predictability. There is no fate. There is a choice.
My choice and yours, in each moment that demands it.”
Maria Alyokhina, Riot Days
“Power built on totalitarian principles cannot admit its mistakes. To admit a mistake is to show weakness, to back down. To lose.

This power sees conspiracy everywhere behind its back, so it lives with its head turned backwards, checking that no one is following it, that no one is dreaming up a revolution. This power must always be on its guard, it claims supreme power, is invincible to itself, the absolute made flesh.”
Maria Alyokhina, Riot Days
“We have the right to refuse. This is our right, yours and mine. You can't know all the laws by heart, you don't know what will happen if you refuse. But you have to try... The law can be bent, and the degree of flexibility is something you can only test in practice.”
Maria Alyokhina, Riot Days
“There was nothing malicious in their questions, just bewilderment. When you talk to people, they change their opinion about you. People without cotton wads in their ears can change their minds quickly.”
Maria Alyokhina, Riot Days
“Мне бы хотелось прожить жизнь таким образом, чтобы то, что осталось от меня, имело бы отношение скорее к свободе и правде, чем к пустоте, в которую сейчас превращаются эти слова.”
Maria Alyokhina, Riot Days
