Max Pearson presents a compilation of this week's Witness History programmes from the BBC World Service.
You'll hear the story of how a protest led by the punk band Pussy Riot in one of Moscow's main cathedrals led to a trial which made the news inside Russia and around the world.
Then, historian Robert Service talks about other examples of rebellion, from the time of the Russian empire through to modern day.
Also, the man Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet wanted dead, the most bizarre football match of all time and the African man who travelled across the world to live in the Arctic.
