Patriot

The urgent and moving autobiography of a fearless opposition leader who had to pay the highest price for his beliefs. Navalny began working on "Patriot" in 2020, shortly after the assassination attempt on him. It is the comprehensive story of his life: his youth, his calling as an activist, his marriage and family, as well as his commitment to democracy and freedom in Russia in the face of a superpower that desperately wants to silence him. "Patriot" showcases Navalny's absolute conviction: Change is unstoppable. It will come.

Vividly and with exciting details, including previously unpublished records from prison, Navalny recounts his political journey, the numerous attacks against him and his associates, and the persistent campaigns he and his team dared to lead against the increasingly dictatorial regime.

Navalny's widow, Yulia Navalnaya, says: "This book is not only a testament to Alexei's life but also to his steadfast fight against dictatorship—a struggle for which he gave everything, including his life. Readers will get to know the man I deeply loved—a man of profound integrity and unyielding courage. His story will not only honor his memory but also inspire others to stand up for what is right and never lose sight of the values that truly matter."

Written with the passion, spirit, sincerity, and daring for which he was rightly admired, "Patriot" is Navalny's farewell letter to the world: a poignant portrayal of his last years spent in the world's most brutal prison, a reminder of why the principles of individual freedom are so important.
