Alexei Navalny Biography: The Journey of Life and Death of Russia's Opposition Leader

In the heart of Vladimir Putin's Russia, one man has emerged as the emboldened face of defiance against the intransigent powers of authoritarian rule - Alexei Navalny. This definitive biography traces Navalny's incredible transformation from an obscure blogger to an international symbol of resistance and the single greatest thorn in the Kremlin's side.

Witness Navalny's evolution from his earliest days as a real estate investor and unlikely YouTuber-turned-activist inadvertently sparking a nationwide anti-corruption movement. Go behind the scenes as his savvy exploitation of social media and investigation into high-level graft surrounding Putin's United Russia party fuels widespread protests challenging the establishment's stranglehold.

But with Navalny's rise as the opposition leader also comes profound personal costs and harrowing confrontations with the full weight of Russia's police state. This chronicle exposes the elaborate systems of surveillance, violence, and human rights abuses deployed to crush all forms of dissent, including multiple imprisonments intended to break Navalny's unyielding spirit.

His battle takes a nearly fatal turn in 2020 when he's poisoned with the Soviet-era nerve agent Novichok...and miraculously survives. Rather than allowing this brutal attack to extinguish his momentum, Navalny emerges more determined than ever, continuing his anti-Kremlin crusade even while confined under draconian prison conditions engineered to diminish his voice and influence.

Featuring rare interviews with Navalny himself, his tight-knit inner circle, and the anonymous hackers supplying his explosive investigations into corruption, this book gets readers unprecedented access to the highs and lows of the dissident arguably representing Putin's greatest existential threat. From his surprising path to political activism to the very real dangers constantly lurking, Alexei Navalny reveals the anatomy of an unlikely but resolute revolutionary spearheading a fight for Russia's democratic future from the inside.
