Before his death in February, 2024, Alexei Navalny was the fearless and outspoken Russian opposition leader. Today, he sets out his political vision for a Beautiful Russia of the Future. Benedict Cumberbatch reads.
From his childhood in the Soviet Union; to falling in love with his wife, Yulia; becoming a father; campaigning against corruption and his political successes, we encounter a man driven by passion for his country. We learn about the arrests, the harassment, the poisonings, the legal battles, and finally we hear from his prison diaries, written during the three years of his imprisonment. Despite the adversity he never lost his sense of humour, his zest for life and his convictions.
Alexei Navalny was awarded various international honours including the Sakharov Prize, the European Parliament's annual human rights prize.
