Simon Bolivar
Called "El Liberator" (The Liberator) and the "George Washington of South America", Simon Bolivar led Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia to independence from the Spanish Empire. Born to a very wealthy, aristocratic family in 1783, Bolivar led a successful military career in the Spanish Empire before becoming "El Liberator". Bolivar became famous for leading revolutionary victories against Spanish Imperial forces. Bolívar's dream was to establish an American Revolution-style federation in Latin American among all the newly independent republics, with a government set up solely to recognize and uphold individual rights. Bolivia is named after him, thus making Bolivar one of the few men in history to have a country named after him. He died of tuberculosis in 1830 at the age of 47.

Castro
An illegitimate son of a wealthy landowner, Fidel Castro was born in Cuba in 1926. He became involved in radical politics while studying Law at the University of Havana. After finishing his studies, Castro co-founded a legal partnership that served poor Cubans. After General Fulgencio Batista seized control of Cuba in a military coup in 1952, Castro began organizing anti-Batista revolutionaries. After several years of guerilla warfare, Castro and his allies succeeded in defeating and driving Batista into exile. Castro consolidated power and served as prime minister and then president of Cuba from 1959 until 2008. Castro has proclaimed himself to be "a Socialist, a Marxist, and a Leninist". Interestingly, Castro supported some religious freedoms more than any other Marxist dictator in the 20th century. His detractors point out his authoritarian rule and vindictive, unforgiving personality.

I am "Pussy Riot" that has made me lol!
Pussy Riot is a Russian feminist punk rock group based in Moscow. Founded in 2011, it has a membership of approximately 11 women, ranging in age from about 20 to 33. They stage unauthorized provocative "guerrilla performances" in unusual public locations, which are edited into music videos and posted on the Internet. Their lyrical themes include feminism, LGBT rights, and opposition to the policies of Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom they regard as a dictator. In 2012, two of the group members, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina, were arrested and charged with hooliganism. A third member, Yekaterina Samutsevich, was later arrested. On August 17, 2012, the three members were convicted of "hooliganism motivated by religious hatred".
