Alexei Navalny's Final Diary Published Posthumously

Alexei Navalny, a prominent critic of Vladimir Putin, died in a Siberian prison on February 16, allegedly poisoned on Putin's orders. His final diary entry, released in the posthumous memoir 'Patriot', vows that Putin's regime, built on lies, will eventually collapse, urging readers to uphold their convictions. Despite enduring political repression and a 19-year prison sentence on contested charges, Navalny maintained a sense of humor and resilience, as reflected in his writing, which includes anecdotes from his life and reflections on death. His wife, Yulia Navalnaya, highlighted the memoir as a testament to Navalny's fight against authoritarianism. Supporters, including leaders from Estonia and Ukraine, have accused the Kremlin of murder, amid claims of torture before his death. Navalny's legacy as a symbol of resistance against oppression continues to inspire those advocating for freedom in Russia.
