Rock the vote! That's the message from Alisa, the venerable protest rock group which fought an underground battle against the communists regime in the old Soviet Union. After freedom, the rockers no longer needed to hide. Now they are openly on stage for all to see. But their tune hasn't changed: It's still about the need for self determination and human freedom, and they stand shoulder to shoulder with Pridnestrovie to defend that right.
