Summary: <p>RUSSIAN ACTIVIST MASHA GESSEN AND THE ART OF DISSENT: Russian-American journalist Masha Gessen lived and worked in Russia for 20 years before increasingly severe anti-gay legislation led her, her partner and three children to leave for the U.S. last December. Her newest book, "Words Will Break Cement: The Passion of Pussy Riot," details the story of the famed feminist punk rock activist group, tracing the roots of their revolt in Russia's post-Soviet culture and documenting the members' journey into Russia's penal colonies after being convicted of hooliganism. She joins Kojo to discuss the art of dissent. (52 min.)</p>
