The moving story of Navalny's fate after he had the temerity to challenge the authority and power of the Russian government. I found the book, based mostly on Navalny's prison diaries, both inspiring and shocking. His courage and stoicism jumped from the page to inspire. His exposure of the details of endemic corruption was a shock, even if the basic facts may be well known. And his accounts of what becomes important to a prisoner - the rare taste of an egg or a slice of apple, the uncommon kindness of a warder - give the reader an otherwise unattainable understanding of the difference between our everyday triviality and what is genuinely important. Wonderful!
