As damaging evidence of atrocious War Crimes by Russia’s President Putin’s armies mounts, it might help to imagine a Nuremberg style War Crimes Tribunal to call Putin and his enabling military officers and soldiers to task for the unjustified and unlawful invasion of Ukraine. After WW2 at the Nuremberg Trials, military leaders of the Nazi armed forces and political wings were called to task and found guilty. Part of Hermann Göring’s trial zeroed in on Hitler’s unwarranted and unwise invasion of Russia. An action that might be seen as a precedent for Russia’s unwise and unwarranted invasion of Ukraine. At one point the prosecutor at Nuremberg pressed Göring on his failure to convince the totalitarian dictator, Hitler, to not invade, and the accompanying lack of transparency about the invasion with the German people. Then, in the Third Reich,as now, with the Putin Empire, the people were misled by wildly inaccurate propaganda. As artists living here in the safety of Canada, we felt a need to take one small action in support of the Ukrainian people who are suffering under an unprecedented assault on the lives, liberties and livelihoods of Ukrainians . And we hope that when the nightmare of War has ended, Putin and his gangsters will, like Göring and his gang, and Milošević and his thugs, be brought to trial for their War Crimes against Humanity.

Only by showing solidarity with the Ukraine people can distant witnesses of these Russian atrocities be part of the actions to stop Putin and his madness. A small part…but a part.

We will post our recording. Prison Song for Putin on YouTube and whatever sites or social media apps we can. We ask you, the listener, to repost and draw attention to this small act of demonstration against Putin and his war. A small rage against the machine.

WHEN: We started uploading in May 2022. We hope it will make the rounds until villains are behind bars. Fat chance you may think…but stranger justices have manifested, and will again. Thanks for listening.
