On June 5, Mark Feigin, counsel to Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, posted on his blog that Russian authorities decided on May 28 to prosecute his client under Part 2 of Article 213 of the Criminal Code (hooliganism committed by a group of persons by prior conspiracy of hate) over her alleged participation in Pussy Riot's punk prayer at the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow. The indictment includes troubling passages that seem to be in direct conflict with elements of the Russian Constitution.

Today, on March 5, 2011, our colleague and
dear friend Galina Kozhevnikova passed away in Moscow at the age of 36. Galina
was a founder and director of the SOVA Center.
Galya was a daring and passionate person.
Trained as an archive researcher, she went on to make her mark as expert in the
field of nationalism and xenophobia in Russia.
Galya suffered a hard disease but went on
with her work to the last.
We will soon publish Galya’s last review
on xenophobia and racism in Russia in 2010.
