Excerpts from a memoir penned by the late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny have been unveiled, shedding light on his thoughts and experiences leading up to his tragic demise. Navalny, a prominent critic of President Vladimir Putin and a staunch advocate against corruption in Russia, passed away in a remote Arctic prison earlier this year while serving a lengthy sentence on what he claimed were politically motivated charges.
The memoir, titled 'Patriot,' is set to be released on October 22, with publisher Alfred A. Knopf describing it as Navalny's final message to the world. Navalny began working on the book during his recovery from a nerve agent poisoning, an incident he attributed to the Kremlin, and continued writing it both in and out of prison.
