Pussy Riot Member Turned FSB Informant | Glasgow News
Description
A former Pussy Riot member, Rita Flores, has stunned the world by revealing she secretly worked for Russia’s FSB for three years—despite the group’s fierce anti-Kremlin stance and LGBTQ+ advocacy. Threatened after a home raid in 2023, she was given an alias, “Harley,” and trained to spy on activists, compiling dossiers on targets including fellow Pussy Riot members. She allegedly participated in a plot to kidnap and kill Pyotr Verzilov, a group spokesperson, before fleeing Russia with help from her lawyer. This chilling exposé underscores the brutal tactics used by Russian security forces against dissenters.
