Review: Patriot, by Alexei Navalny is a a truly inspiring book. In case you have forgotten, he was the amazing man who set up an Anti Corruption Party in opposition to Putin who had him killed in response. He carried out investigations into corruption, in particular he made a film about Putin's palace. He clearly felt a burning anger at the level of corruption throughout the Russian State and the fact that people in a state position with any level of authority used their position to become wealthy while the rest of the population lived in poverty and with shortages. Putin and his circle have accumulated unbelievable wealth which certainly does not come from their salaries. Putin must have feared him and his thousands of followers because there had been several failed attempts to kill him before he was poisoned with Novichok and almost died. Angela Merkel intervened and he was transferred to a hospital in Germany, where after many months of treatment and physiotherapy he was more or less recovered. He had to learn to speak, write and walk again and required intensive physiotherapy. He was left with long term back problems. When he was well enough he returned to Russia with his wife and two children. I think he is the most courageous person I have ever come across. He knew that Putin would not be satisfied until he was dead but he returned anyway. In fact, he was arrested straight off the plane and imprisoned on trumped up charges. He was finally killed three years later. Putin regularly thought up new false charges when there were farcical show trials and more time was added to his sentence. The book is both interesting and moving. Navalny’s love of his country and its people together with his anger at the way time and again those in power have reduced them as individuals and the country as a whole to poverty and backwardness. When I told my son about it he responded by sending me links to 3 articles critical of Navalny. After reading the man’s book, however, I am convinced that his death is a tragic loss to Russia. He started writing it while he was convalescing in Germany and the first part of the book contains a lot about his childhood and early life. One of his parents was Ukrainian and he spent his summers on his grandparents' farm. The rest of it is in the form of a prison diary. I don’t know how he got his writings out of prison. He must have had help. What impresses me particularly is that throughout the book there is not the slightest hint of self-pity neither about his situation and the knowledge that he would never be freed nor about his painful back; he writes with a wry humour which I found wonderful, given the circumstances. A truly great man in my opinion. I only hope the people he inspired to oppose Putin don’t just give up without his leadership.
