Imprisoned Navalny Predicted His Own Demise, Memoir Reveals

In his poignant posthumous memoir, Alexei Navalny foresaw his death in a Russian jail.


Alexei Navalny's memoir, "Patriot", details his harrowing last years, revealing his belief that he would die imprisoned.

Alexei Navalny, Russia's leading opposition figure, believed he would not survive his jail time, a prescient reflection found in his memoir following his death in February in a jail above the Arctic Circle. Convicted on controversial extremism charges, Navalny chronicled his final years through diary entries later published in "Patriot".

Imprisoned after his return to Moscow in 2021, he continued to document his experiences and outlook, eloquently showcasing a blend of resilience and humor even amid physical isolation and declining health. On 22 March 2022, he wrote resignedly about his fate, acknowledging the absence of future family milestones.

His memoir, set for release on 22 October, includes poignant reflections dated 17 January 2024, defending his choice to return to Russia despite the risks, driven by a sense of unwavering patriotism. The book also presents instances of harsh prison conditions and Navalny's steadfast opposition to Russian corruption. The global release features a US and Russian edition, sharing the activist's undeterred voice. Through these excerpts, Navalny's enduring legacy as a trenchant critic of President Vladimir Putin continues to resonate, highlighting the sacrifices made for the cause of his nation.
