Although it looks like Nadezhda Tolokonnikova is the only member of Pussy Riot left, based on the video.

Is this her first song in English? Not bad. Definitely more commercial and catchy. But with a hard political edge.


I found this article in Esquire with an interview on what they are doing now and Nadya's views on Putin and Trump

http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/interviews/a50042/pussy-riot-interview-nadya-tolokno/

Trump talks about making America great again—taking it back to an earlier time when things were supposedly better. Does Putin have any of that?:

Yeah, for sure. And a lot of people in Russia supported him for it. But it's just a psychological rule—you always believe something in the past was better than you have it right now. Putin rarely speaks about plans for the future, he talks about the past. Do we really want to re-start the Cold War? If Putin goes back to the Soviet Union and Trump makes America great again—as it was three or four decades years ago—are we going back to a Cold War? Are we going back to nuclear weapons and the prospect of atomic war? Really?
