They first met on Instagram. He was holding a sign saying “Fight the Climate Crisis, not Pussy Riot” in Pushkin Square
olina Oleinikova woke up on her wedding day, February 24th, to her phone vibrating. Excited, she grabbed it from the bedside table, expecting congratulatory texts ahead of the ceremony at the local registry office that afternoon. Then she saw the news. Overnight, Vladimir Putin had begun what he called a “special military operation” in Ukraine. She started to cry.
Soon afterwards, Oleinikova was arrested for staging her own single-person picket in Pushkin Square. “There has been a 32% increase in rape in Moscow in 2021,” her placard read. “What are you doing about it?” Since 2014, solo demonstrations have been the only form of protest allowed in Russia without a permit . But police often arrest lone protesters on a pretext anyway.
His graduation ceremony from university in 2019 confirmed this decision. “People were reading poems by Pushkin about freedom and playing music about nature,” he said. “But they were doing nothing to defend it. They were going to a big party afterwards, and I had a poster in my bag for my protest.” On the morning of the wedding – and the invasion – Oleinikova went to have her hair and makeup done. It was hard to get her eyes right, she said, because she couldn’t stop crying. She felt better after putting on her dress. Chosen before the invasion, it was the same royal blue as the Ukrainian flag. Makiychan bought her a bunch of yellow roses to match the other colour in the flag. Then he scrawled “Fuck the War” across the back of his white wedding shirt.
