Yulia Navalnaya said in a post on X that the book would be released simultaneously in different languages on Oct. 22

A memoir Alexey Navalny began working on in 2020 will be published this fall. “Patriot,” which publisher Alfred A. Knopf is calling the late Russian opposition leader’s “final letter to the world,” will come out Oct. 22.

Navalny, 47, died in February while serving a 19-year prison sentence on extremism charges that he condemned as politically motivated. He was jailed after returning from Germany in January 2021, where he was recuperating from the 2020 nerve agent poisoning he blamed on the Kremlin, and was given three prison terms since.

According to Knopf, Navalny began working on the book in Germany, and continued writing it in Russia, both in and out of prison. “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.”
