Alexei Navalny 's posthumously published autobiography, Patriot , is a gospel -- but an autobiographical one.

Alexander Nekrassov : The book tells the story of his death -- how he approached it, how he prepared for it, and how he conquered it.

Nekrushov: Patriot begins lightly and humorously, recreates atmosphere of Soviet Union and broken Russia of the early 1990s .

Alexei Navalny wrote many letters from prison, some of them were published as Instagram posts.

When he writes for an audience, he uses every last ounce of strength to be radiant, cheerful, and full of hope.

After the hunger strike ends, the entries become less frequent.

By the end of the book, instead of the daily notes, he starts writing philosophical reflections.
