"Mama, don't watch TV": this is Pussy Riot's new song, released on December 24.
In its new title, the group of feminist activists resolutely opposes Vladimir Putin and the war in Ukraine, reports BFMTV.
In the clip, the Russian singers proclaim their support for Ukraine and denounce the actions of the Russian president and his soldiers, all supported by real images of the conflicts in Ukraine.
The title of the song is a direct reference to "everyday Russian propaganda" according to Pussy Riot.

"The refrain is based on the words of a captured Russian soldier who, in a telephone conversation with his mother, said: 'Mom, there are no Nazis here, don't watch television,'" explains the group in the description of the YouTube video.
Founded in 2011 in Moscow, Pussy Riot fights tirelessly for human rights and particularly against the politics of Vladimir Putin.
Members of the formation condemn Russia's military action in Ukraine, which began with the annexation of Crimea and the occupation of Donbass in 2014. "Every day since then, Ukraine has had to fight for its right to life and freedom, to fight to guarantee its sovereignty”, argue the activists.
Defending the rights of women and LGBT+ people in Russia, Pussy Riot are not afraid to provoke members of the government with shocking performances and artistic performances.
In 2012, they were sentenced to two years in a labor camp after a "punk prayer" in an Orthodox church.
