Forlagsbeskrivelse af Patriot af Alexei Navalny
Mind-blowing ... one extraordinary read' EMILY MAITLIS'The greatest political figure of his generation' OBSERVER'Part memoir, part diary, a political manifesto, a darkly funny adieu' BEN MACINTYRE'Patriot will be seen as a historic text' ECONOMISTPatriot 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. We witness the growth of his nationwide support. We see his many arrests and harassment and, in stunning detail, the attempt on his life. We understand why he felt he had to return to Russia. In prison, he shows a spirit and a sense of humour that cannot be crushed. Patriot is as dramatic as its author’s life – passionate that good and freedom will prevail. 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.

Ole K. Ersgaard
Fremragende. Men...men... Det er en fremragende bog. Men, men ...i den sidste periode på omkring 18 mdr. er hovedpersonen angiveligt isoleret uden adgang til at kunne skrive noget som helst. Bedre bliver det jo ikke af , at en psykisk syg person i cellen overfor forfatteren råber og skriger konstant. Er de sidste 18 mdr. af forfatterens liv derfor fri fantasi? Jeg har derfor spurgt Politikens forlag, hvordan de sidste 18 mdr. af forfatterens liv i det hele taget har kunnet blive gengivet? Efter tre rykkere til forlaget - har jeg endnu ikke fået en forklaring. Bogen fortjener ikke desto mindre at blive læst. Jeg ville gerne give 4 stjerner, men det bliver derfor kun til det halve. Desværre. Ole K. Ersgaard Erhvervsøkonom MDM, PD
