- **THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER** **WINNER OF THE BRITISH BOOK AWARDS 2024 BOOK OF THE YEAR** Patriot is the unforgettable life story of one of the most fearless and inspiring figures of our time. 'Mind-blowing ... one extraordinary read' EMILY MAITLIS 'Charisma and courage dazzle on every page' SUNDAY TIMES 'Part memoir, part diary, a political manifesto, a darkly funny adieu' BEN MACINTYRE Alexei Navalny's poisoning in 2020 by the Russian security services was a global news event. In 2024 he died in a brutal Arctic prison. He began writing Patriot whilst recovering from his poisoning; it ends with his secret prison diaries. HUSBAND: He was a beacon to millions and became the sole political threat to Vladimir Putin. This is his life in his own words: his 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. PRISONER: We witness his message of hope gain nationwide support, his many arrests and harassment, and the incredible attempt on his life. We understand why he felt he had to return to Russia. In prison, we feel the power of his unbreakable spirit and sense of humour. PATRIOT: Patriot is as dramatic as Navalny's life - and full of the passionate belief that good and freedom will prevail. It is an astonishingly positive account of a heroic life. 'A worthy testament to Navalny's courage, defiance and humour' FINANCIAL TIMES 'Inspiring, emboldening - a voice that will not be forgotten' NEW YORKER * A NEW STATESMAN, FINANCIAL TIMES, ECONOMIST AND EVENING STANDARD BOOK OF THE YEAR * (Sunday Times bestseller October 2024)
