The Russian founder of the feminist punk group Pussy Riot has launched a new career as a dominatrix on OnlyFans.

Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 31, announced that she has joined the British subscription service OnlyFans, where she sells saucy snaps and video clips to her paying followers, on Twitter.

The political activist and conceptual artist, who founded the anarchist feminist group Pussy Riot in 2011 in response to national politics in Russia, said on Twitter that she now has an OnlyFans account, calling herself a “crazy empress” and reportedly charging fans USD 10 a month to view her racy images.

According to reports, the OnlyFans account was launched in July and so far has 53 photos and a single video.

In 2012, Pussy Riot was arrested for performing a riotous punk song in the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow.

Three band members, including Tolokonnikova, were charged with ‘hooliganism motivated by religious hatred’ and jailed for two years.

The sentence drew widespread criticism and was the case was even adopted by human rights groups including Amnesty International, which designated them as ‘prisoners of conscience’.

They were released early in 2013 after the Russian parliament approved an amnesty law.

Since being released, Tolokonnikova has continued her political activism and also wrote an autobiography.

Last week, Tolokonnikova said she would like to one day replace President Putin as Russian leader and has plans to run in 2036, adding: “For now, I’m not able to run for president because I’m a convicted criminal. Even though I already served my time in prison, I’m still not allowed to take part in any elections.”
