«В 2002-2003 годах российский математик Григорий Перельман опубликовал в интернете доказательство гипотезы Пуанкаре — «задачи тысячелетия», за решение которой американский Институт Клэя назначил премию в миллион долларов. Математическому сообществу потребовалось время, чтобы признать достижение Перельмана. Однако вручить награду ученому так и не удалось: он отказался от нее, как ранее отказался от престижной медали Филдса. Несколько лет назад Перельман сообщил, что больше не занимается математикой, и свел к минимуму контакты с внешним миром. Известный журналист и писатель, заместитель главного редактора проекта «Сноб» Маша Гессен исследует феномен Перельмана, опираясь на многочисленные интервью с его учителями, соучениками и коллегами. Особое место в книге отведено истории российских матшкол, воспитавших не одно поколение замечательных ученых и просто думающих людей. «Совершенная строгость» — первая книга Гессен, выходящая на русском языке.»

On February 21st 2012, five members of an obscure feminist post-punk collective called Pussy Riot staged a performance in Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Saviour. Dressed in their trademark brightly coloured dresses and balaclavas, the women performed their song 'Punk Prayer — Mother of God, Chase Putin Away!' in front of the altar. The performance lasted only 40 seconds but it resulted in two-year prison sentences for three of the performers — and has turned Pussy Riot into one of the most well-known and important protest movements of the last five years. This necessary and timely book is an account of the Pussy Riot protest, the ensuing global support movement, and the tangled and controversial trial of the band members. It explores the status of dissent in Russia, the roots of the group and their adoption — or appropriation — by wider collectives, feminist groups and music icons. Masha Gessen has unique access to the band and those closest to them. Her unrivalled understanding of the Russian protest movement makes her the ideal writer to document and explain the rage, the beauty and the phenomenon that is Pussy Riot.

«The heroic story of Pussy Riot, who resurrected the power of truth in a society built on lies On February 21, 2012, five young women entered the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow. In neon-colored dresses, tights, and balaclavas, they performed a «punk prayer» beseeching the «Mother of God» to «get rid of Putin.» They were quickly shut down by security, and in the weeks and months that followed, three of the women were arrested and tried, and two were sentenced to a remote prison colony. But the incident captured international headlines, and footage of it went viral. People across the globe recognized not only a fierce act of political confrontation but also an inspired work of art that, in a time and place saturated with lies, found a new way to speak the truth. Masha Gessen's riveting account tells how such a phenomenon came about. Drawing on her exclusive, extensive access to the members of Pussy Riot and their families and associates, she reconstructs the fascinating personal journeys that transformed a group of young women into artists with a shared vision, gave them the courage and imagination to express it unforgettably, and endowed them with the strength to endure the devastating loneliness and isolation that have been the price of their triumph.»
