Composition and publication

[edit]

Navalny began writing Patriot in Germany after he was poisoned with the nerve agent Novichok in August 2020. He returned to Russia in February 2021, having written much of his memoir by that time, and he was arrested. Navalny was sentenced to nineteen years in August 2023 on charges of extremism. In February 2024, he died at a penal colony in the Russian arctic. Patriot was announced by Alfred A. Knopf and Navalny's wife, Yulia Navalnaya, on April 11, 2024. Navalnaya edited and finalized the manuscript with Knopf. On X, Navalnaya announced that Patriot had been translated into eleven languages, including a Russian-language edition.[1]

Patriot is set to be released on October 22, 2024.[1]
