Pussy Riot — MAMA, DON’T WATCH TV / МАМА, НЕ СМОТРИ ТЕЛЕВИЗОР (ANTI - WAR SONG)
STATEMENT
This song is our statement against the war that Putin started in Ukraine.
On 24th February 2022 Russia began a wide scale military attack on Ukraine. Russian bombs and rockets destroyed Ukrainian homes, schools, hospitals, wrecking towns and destroying lives.
We believe that Putin’s regime is a terrorist regime, and Putin himself, his officials, generals and propagandists are war criminals.
The chorus is based on the words of a captured Russian conscript soldier who, in a telephone conversation with his mother, said “Mom, there are no Nazis here, don’t watch TV.“ Russian propaganda daily poisons the hearts of people with hatred.
Those who oppose Putin are imprisoned, poisoned with military poisons and killed. The tradition of political poisoning for more than 100 years, “laboratory x“ - the first laboratory of military poisons created by the NKVD. Opposition figures of anti-government movements became victims of the “experiments“. Putin and the FSB are proud of this “tradition“ and continue it: Alexander Litvinenko, Sergei Skripal, Vladimir Kara-Murza, Pyotr Verzilov, Alexei Navalny.
Russia has continued its military aggression on the territory of Ukraine since 2014, when Russian troops annexed Crimea and began the occupation of the Donbass region. Every day since then Ukraine has had to fight for the right to live and for freedom, fight to guarantee its sovereignty.
During all these years, the international community has looked for compromise and conducted business with Russia, at the same time sponsoring Putin’s cruel war. The Kremlin receives billions of Euros from the sale of oil and gas and each day this money converts into Ukrainian blood.
We call for:
1. An EMBARGO on the purchase of Russian oil and gas, on the sale of weapons and police ammunition to Russia.
2. ARREST the western bank accounts and property of Russian officials and oligarchs and introduce personal sanctions against them.
3. An INTERNATIONAL TRIBUNAL to try Vladimir Putin, employees of Russian state propaganda, army officers and everyone who is responsible for the genocide of the Ukrainian nation.
Мы обращаемся к тем, кто в России:
Пожалуйста, не участвуйте в этой войне! Не берите повестки, не ходите в военкоматы, не слушайте пропаганду!
Каждый жест против этой войны важен.

LYRYCS/ for english in the video-turn on subtitles
The howls of Mariupol
Underneath the bright blue domed sky
A sacred throne is never left unfilled
And its power purchased long ago
The President Eraser rubs out everything in his path
“Z“ means a swastika
The tanks for the holiday
A Russian classic
While the old people are decorated with ribbons
We are becoming “foreign agents“
Contraband leaves for the motherland Cargo 200
They won’t show you that on the evening news
Finish school - take a rifle
Up to 15 years in prison for an anti-war poster
Russian warship - Go fuck yourself
Tank - is in the swamp,
the future - on the chopping block
The cult of victory as the basis of everything
Veterans’ ashes mixed with coke fit for MPs
Routine of sadism, Lubyanka mix
And for those who are too outspoken - Laboratory X
Mama, I’m held in prisoner
Don’t watch TV
Mama, there are no Nazis here
Mama, why is the war
Called a “special operation“?
Special
I don’t get it
Putin likes your indifference
For 10 years the West has supplied him weapons
In the name of the Russian Federation
poverty, murder, sentences, sanctions
Nonconformity?
Independent opinion?
From where did they prepare an attack on Belarus?
Your death in no big deal, your family will be rewarded
For some war is war, for others it’s a dear mother-in-law
“That’s all, daughter, mama loves you, goodbye.”
red nails, hands in the earth
BUCHA
Dear sister, we are here without a cross
Monstrous spring has decided to come
Unnecessary amended constitution
It’s time for us to complete the revolution
Let Moscow burn
The world is in blood
it can’t be washed away
there’s nothing to cover it
Lots of land, but they took Crimea
Forgive us
But this is unforgivable
Mama, I’m held in prisoner
Don’t watch TV
Mama, there are no Nazis here
Mama, why is the war
Called a “special operation“?
Ukraine,
I love you.
