>>> WELCOME BACK TO HAMBURG. AS WE SAID, THE MOST PROMPT
LEADER OF THE RUSSIAN OPPOSITION ALEXEI NAVALNY WAS RELEASED FROM
PRISON TOLD. AUTHORITIES DIDN'T WANT THAT
MOMENT CAUGHT ON CAMERA. THEY SNUCK HIM BY THE REPORTERS
AND RELEASED HIM SOMEWHERE ELSE. SO HE WENT ON YOUTUBE TO TELL
HIS SUPPORTERS THAT TOGETHER WE HAVE BROKEN THE WALL OF
CENSORSHIP AND LIES THAT MR. PUTIN HAS BEEN BUILDING FOR THE
LAST 18 YEARS AND MANAGED TO BRING OUR IDEAS TO MILLIONS.
HE DEFIANTLY PROMISED TO HOLD NEW RALLIES EVEN THOUGH THEY
WILL TRY TO BAN THEM. THERE ARE RALLIES GOING ON IN
HAMBURG TONIGHT. DOZENS HAVE BEEN ARRESTED.
BUT MOST IF NOT ALL OF THEM WERE FIGHTING WITH POLICE IN THIS
COUNTRY. IN RUSSIA IT'S A DIFFERENT
STORY. NAVALNY WAS SENT TO PRISON FOR
THE CRIME OF CALLING FOR AN UNAUTHORIZED DEMONSTRATION.
THE UNSANCTIONED RALLY IN MOSCOW LAST MONTH LASTED ONLY A FEW
MINUTES. WE WERE THERE.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TRY TO DEMONSTRATE AGAINST
VLADIMIR PUTIN IN TODAY'S RUSSIA, THESE DEMONSTRATORS COME
OUT, THEY'VE BEEN DENOUNCING PUTIN, CALLING HIM A CRIMINAL.
NOW THE RIOT POLICE ARE PUSHING THEM BACK.
THEY'RE MAKING IT VERY CLEAR THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO PUT
UP WITH THIS DEMONSTRATION FOR LONG.
THEY DIDN'T. THE DEMONSTRATION WAS CRUSHED
SOON AFTER IT BEGAN. AND NAVALNY WASN'T EVEN THERE.
HE WAS ARRESTED RIGHT OUTSIDE HIS APARTMENT BUILDING.
AND YET ALL ACROSS RUSSIA'S 1 IS TIME ZONES, PEOPLE ANSWERED HIS
CALL AND TOOK TO THE STREETS. 1700 OF THEM WERE DETAINED BY
POLICE. ANTI-PUTIN, ANTI-CORRUPTION
DEMONSTRATIONS LIKE THESE ARE USUALLY BROKE UNUP WITH FORCE.
WHAT'S REMARKABLE ABOUT THESE DEMONSTRATIONS IS THAT THEY TOOK
PLACE AT ALL. THE WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS CHESS
MASTER BELIEVES THAT SHOWS THAT THINGS IN RUSSIA ARE FINALLY
STARTING TO CHANGE. >> IT'S A BRAND-NEW TREND IN
RUSSIA WHEN YOU HAVE YOUNG PEOPLE, ALMOST TEENAGERS WITH,
THOSE WHO ARE NOT POISONED BY PUTIN'S PROPAGANDA MACHINE.
THEY'RE NOT BRAINWASHED BY TV BECAUSE THEY DON'T WATCH TV.
THEY NOLL LOW NAVALNY. >> THAT VOLNY WANTS TO RUN FOR
PRESIDENT NOOEX YEAR BUT THE GOVERNMENT CHARGED HIM WITH
FINANCIAL CRIMES WHICH HE SAYS WERE TRUMPED UP TO STOP HIM FROM
RUNNING AGAINST PUTIN. HE'S BEEN ARRESTED, BEEN BEATEN,
HAD GREEN LIQUID THROWN AT HIS FACE WHICH NEARLY BLINDED HIM
BUT HE AND HIS SUPPORTERS FIGHT ON.
THE PUTIN HAS A BACKING OF A VAST MAJORITY OF RUSSIANS.
THEY SEE HIM AS A STRONG MAN, THE ONLY MAN WHO CAN REVIVE
RUSSIA'S POWER IN A WORLD FULL OF ENANIES.
THAT'S WHY PUTIN LOVES MAKING EN
ENEMIES. >> PUTIN CANNOT AFFORD PEACE.
HE NEEDS CON FLICK AS THE ONLY ATMOSPHERE WHERE HE CAN SURVIVE.
>> IT'S THE NEVER ENDING CONFLICT WITH THE WHOLE WORLD
THAT GIVES PUTIN COVER FOR A NEVER ENDING CRACKDOWN ON ANYONE
WHO SPEAKS OUT AGAINST HIM. AND NO ONE SPEAKS OUT AS LOUDLY
AS THIS GROUP. THIS STUNT MADE THIS YOUNG
PROFANE WOMEN IN SKI MASKS WORLD FAMOUS AND LANDED TWO OF THEM IN
PRISON. >> THIS MAN SAYS THAT YOU CAN'T
CRITICIZE YOUR GOVERNMENT. >> THEY'RE OUT NOW AND WHATEVER
LESSON THE SYSTEM WAS TRYING TO TEACH THEM, THEY DIDN'T LEARN
IT. WE ASKED ONE MEMBER, WHO
EVERYONE CALLS MASHA, ABOUT THE GROUP'S PROVOCATIVE NAME.
>> IT'S JUST FUNNY. >> SO IT'S A JOKE ON POLITICIANS
THAT EVERY TIME THEY TALK ABOUT YOU THEY HAVE TO SAY PUSSY RIOT.
>> YEAH. >> YOU'RE GETTING A LITTLE DIG
AT THEM? >> KIND OF.
BUT NOW I THINK WE HAVE ENOUGH POLITICIANS
PRONOUNCING PUSSY. >> SHE'S TALKING, OF COURSE,
ABOUT PRESIDENT TRUMP. SHE AND HER FRIENDS WATCH
THOUSANDS OF MIRN TAKE TO THE STREETS IN PINK HATS.
IT WAS THEIR KIND OF PROTEST, BUT SHE THINKS IT SHOULD GO
FURTHER. >> VERY SIMPLE.
I THINK RIOT AND DO NOT BE AFRAID.
>> DON'T BE AFRAID? >> I THINK IT'S ALREADY
HAPPENING. IT'S IMPORTANT JUST NOT TO STOP.
>> JUST IN CASE ANYONE MISSED THE MESSAGE, PUSSY RIOT HAS A
NEW VIDEO OUT, AND THIS ONE IS NOT ABOUT PUTIN.
♪♪ >> NO MORE ABORTIONS.
♪♪ >> ONE OF THE MOST SURPRISING
THINGS WE LEARNED WHILE PUTTING THIS SHOW TOGETHER IS THE WORD
RUSSIA IS GETTING SOME LOVE IN PLACES THAT WILL PROBABLY
SURPRISE YOU TOO. HERE'S NBC'S KELLY COBIELLA.
>> IN AMERICA TONIGHT, ALMOST HALF OF REPUBLICAN VOTERS, 49%,
CONSIDER RUSSIA AN ALLY. RUSSIAN DOLLS, RUSSIAN BOOKS.
RUSSIA EVERYWHERE HERE. HAVE YOU MET HIM?
>> I'VE NOT, NO. >> WOULD YOU LIKE TO IN.
>> ABSOLUTELY. HE'S FANTASTIC.
>> WHAT DOES RUSSIA THINK OF US? >> RUSSIA CONSIDERS US TO BE THE
MAIN ENEMY. >> THE FULL
