Alexei Navalny

Patriot is the exhilarating life story of one of the most fearless and inspiring figures of our time who became a beacon to millions and the sole political threat to Vladimir Putin.

This is Alexei Navalny’s life in his own words: his Soviet childhood political awakening his marriage and beloved family his total commitment to taking on a corrupt regime and his enduring love of Russia and its people. His 2020 poisoning by the Russian security services was a global news event. In 2024 he died in a brutal Siberian prison. He began writing Patriot whilst recovering from his poisoning; it ends with his prison diaries seen here for the first time.

It is Alexei Navalny’s final letter to the world a rousing call to continue his work an unforgettably positive account of a life that will inspire every reader.
