Patriot is the memoir of Alex Navalny, the now-deceased opposition leader to Vladimir Putin. He dedicated his life to exposing corruption in Russia, and paid the ultimate price for going against those in power.
Democracy is a fragile thing. Once the people in power have too much power, they use that power to entrench and protect themselves from opposition. Such appears to be the case in Russia, where Navalny fought the power but the power ultimately shut him down.
In the book, Navalny shares with the world where he comes from, what he tried to do and why, and details the governments shenanigans that ultimately led to his downfall.
I highly recommend the book to anyone interested in this topic.
