Summary |
This news-driven biography of Alexey Navalny, Vladimir Putin's most formidable rival, introduces us to modern Russia's greatest agitator, a man willing to sacrifice his freedom--and even his own life--to build the decent, democratic country he wants to live in and hopes to pass on to his children. |
