In February 2012, Maria Alyokhina and other members of the radical collective Pussy Riot performed a provocative "Punk Prayer." Evocative, wry, laser-sharp, and laconically funny, Alyokhina's account is studded with song lyrics, legal transcripts, and excerpts from her jail diary -- dispatches from a young woman who has faced tyranny and returned with the proof that against all odds even one person can force its retreat.
