Alexei Navalny's Posthumous Memoir Chronicles His Fight Against Oppression

Published eight months after his death, 'Patriot' reveals Navalny's resilience and enduring hope for a democratic Russia.

Alexei Navalny's memoir, 'Patriot,' combines a traditional narrative with a gripping prison diary, reflecting his journey from anti-corruption campaigner to Putin's main adversary.
The book details Navalny's poisoning with Novichok in 2020, his recovery in Germany, and his return to Russia, where he was arrested and later died under mysterious circumstances.
Navalny's widow, Yulia Navalnaya, completed the memoir and continues his political advocacy from exile, meeting Western leaders and speaking against Putin's regime.
The memoir includes Navalny's reflections on his early life in the Soviet Union, his political rise, and his vision for a 'beautiful Russia of the future.'
Navalny's prison diary entries reveal his struggles with isolation and deprivation, yet they also convey his unwavering belief in a free and democratic Russia.
