'Patriot' by Alexi Navalny - Publishes October 22nd

The powerful and moving memoir of a fearless political opposition
leader who paid the ultimate price for his beliefs.

Alexei Navalny began writing PATRIOT shortly after his near-fatal poisoning in
2020. It is the full story of his life: his youth, his call to activism, his marriage
and family, his commitment to challenging a world super-power determined to
silence him, and his total conviction that change cannot be resisted – and will
come.

In vivid, page-turning detail, including never-before-seen correspondence from
prison, Navalny recounts, among other things, his political career, the many
attempts on his life, and the lives of the people closest to him, and the
relentless campaign he and his team waged against an increasingly dictatorial
regime.

Written with the passion, wit, candour and bravery for which he was justly
acclaimed, PATRIOT is Navalny’s final letter to the world: a moving account of
his last years spent in the most brutal prison on earth; a reminder of why the
principles of individual freedom matter so deeply; and a rousing call to continue
the work for which he sacrificed his life.

‘This book is a testament not only to Alexei’s life, but to his unwavering
commitment to the fight against dictatorship – a fight he gave everything for,
including his life. Through its pages, readers will come to know the man I loved
deeply – a man of profound integrity and unyielding courage. Sharing his story
will not only honour his memory but also inspire others to stand up for what is
right and to never lose sight of the values that truly matter.’ – Yulia Navalnaya
