Description
Alexei Navalny's life was a story of contrasts, marked by moments of extraordinary courage and fatal recklessness. In "Murder in the Gulag", John Sweeney, a renowned journalist, takes readers on a journey behind the headlines to reveal the truth about Navalny's final days.
The narrative follows Navalny's life story, from his childhood summers spent in Ukraine to his untimely death at the age of 47. Sweeney's in-depth reporting provides a warts-and-all portrayal of a highly charismatic but controversial figure, who flirted with far-right Russian nationalists before course-correcting. The book also contains a warning: Navalny made a fatal misjudgement in returning to Russia after his poisoning in 2020, betting that Vladimir Putin wouldn't kill him.
With the death of Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin and the fortunes of war slowly turning in Russia's favour, Navalny's decision proved disastrous. "Murder in the Gulag" is a gripping and factual account of Navalny's life and death, written by an intrepid journalist who knew Navalny personally.
