Ex-Pussy Riot Member Claims FSB Forced Her to Spy, Implicate in Murder Plot

Rita Flores, a former Pussy Riot member, testified that the FSB coerced her into providing intelligence on artists and dissidents, and now expects her to participate in a murder plot abroad. The claim is unverified and may be part of a broader pattern of FSB operations against dissidents. This matters as it could signal an escalation in Russian covert activities targeting opponents outside its borders.
