Nadezdha Tolokonnikova: Canada

Vladimir Putin Dept: Nadezdha Tolokonnikova , 23, is the best known face of Pussy Riot, a punk group whose members have been in jail since February, when they stormed a cathedral in Moscow wearing summer dresses, tights and colourful balaclavas, shouting a prayer to the Virgin Mary to deliver Russia from Vladimir Putin, who was set to win a third term as president the following month, according to The Star. I ve been to Canada and I have the right to visit it but I didn t get a residency permit, Tolokonnikova told Russian state television journalist Arkady Mamontov during the interview that aired in April and oTTAWA A jailed member of Russian feminist punk band Pussy Riot might have immigrated to Canada prior to the political stunt involving masks and a cathedral that landed her behind bars. An excerpt from a Russian state television newscast posted to YouTube suggests Tolokonnikova has a tie to Canada that is strong enough for her to have received a permanent resident card as recently as last year something that only someone who is physically present in Canada and has met immigration requirements can obtain.
