Ex-Pussy Riot member reveals FSB recruitment, blackmail, and assassination plot

Rita Flores, a former Pussy Riot member, publicly testified that the FSB recruited her under duress, forcing her to denounce activists and gather intelligence on artists, and involving her in a plot to kidnap and assassinate a Kremlin adversary. The claims are unverified but detailed, suggesting a pattern of state coercion against dissidents. This matters as it exposes alleged Russian intelligence operations targeting domestic opposition, potentially escalating political repression.
