Full English translation of Pussy Riot closing statements

[Sasha Senderovich]

Dear colleagues,

I wanted to bring to your attention the full English translation of the
closing statements by all three defendants in the Pussy Riot trial that
ended in Moscow last week (team-translated and peer-edited by a group of
Slavists that included yours truly). This was just published by n+1 and the
link is here: http://nplusonemag.com/pussy-riot-closing-statements

The verdict in this case is expected on Friday and those who initiated this
translation project hope that these texts can reach a wide audience. Those
of us who teach Russian literature, history, and culture also hope that
these texts would be of interest to the students in our classes once the
fall semester begins. So, please circulate if you find this an appropriate
and worthwhile undertaking.

Here is the link

All the best, Sasha Senderovich (for the team of translators and editors).
