lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, the jailing of the three young women of Pussy Riot for two years in a prison colony is an absolute scandal. It graphically reveals the repressive nature of the Putin regime, which will brook no opposition, but it also demonstrates the fear that the regime has not only of Pussy Riot, but of the mass demonstrations that have taken place against the election-rigging and also the threat of a Russian winter. That is because all of the promises made to the people of Russia at the time of the collapse of Stalinism have been proven to be false. They were promised economic growth and the benefits of that growth have gone only to the oligarchs while working people suffer. They were promised democracy. They got only rigged elections and an absence of any real democratic rights, the right to freedom of speech, the right to protest. In her closing statement at the trial, one of the members of Pussy Riot, Yekaterina Samutsevich, accurately summed up the situation: ‘Compared to the judicial machine, we are nobodies and we have lost. On the other hand, we have won. The whole world now sees that the criminal case against us has been fabricated’. The system cannot conceal the repressive nature of this trial. It is nobodies like them who, with a mass movement in Russia armed with a socialist programme, can overthrow the Putin regime and bring about democratic and socialist change."@en1
