Review:
This is a brutally sad book. Of course, you know before starting that Navalny died in prison and was almost certainly poisoned (a 45 year old who survived and recovered from a hunger strike as well as prior poisonings does not die easily). You know that he was a person who dedicated his life to Russia and struggled to bring to the light the corrupt practices of the members of Putin's entourage. You probably assumed, but didn't have hard proof that he was a loving husband and father. You likely didn't know that he was a Christian. Odds are good that you didn't know anything about his "prison Zen." What an incredible man and what a horrible loss to the Russian people. Recommended, but know that this is a very sad book.
