Russian: Piotr verzilov,IPA: [‘pjotr vir’zjil@f]) is a Russian-Canadian activist and artist who rose to fame as the unofficial spokesperson for the band Pussy Riot after they were detained and imprisoned by Russia in 2012. Verzilov was married to Nadezhda Tlokonnikova, a Pussy Riot member.

Verzilov, a Moscow court judge who was attempting to end the trial of two curators of art galleries, reportedly burst into the room and released a bag full of live cockroaches.

In September that year, Verzilov accepted the LennonOno grant for peace from Yoko Ono, on behalf of Pussy Riot, at a ceremony in New York.

Verzilov’s former wife Nadezhda Tolokonnikova is a member of the Russian feminist punk rock group Pussy Riot who, in February 2012, staged a protest inside the Moscow Cathedral. On 17 August, Tolokonnikova and two other members were sentenced to two years’ imprisonment for ‘hooliganism’. Subsequent to their arrest and imprisonment Verzilov became a prominent representative and spokesperson for Pussy Riot.

Verzilov met Nadezhda Tolokonnikova at university. Both became well-known for their outrageous performances in the Voina performance art group. In 2008, Verzilov was pregnant and filmed public sex in Moscow to protest President Obama’s call for more reproduction. The Saint Petersburg faction indicted Verzilov as a police informant after Voina’s 2009 split. Verzilov later called these allegations “lies – old, brutal lies”, and blamed them for the “very bad breakup of Voina”.
