The posthumous memoirs of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny reveal his grim expectations of dying in prison.

In excerpts published by the New Yorker, Navalny wrote in March 2022, "I will spend the rest of my life in prison and die here.

" His writings, filled with both humor and tragedy, reflect his resilience and the harsh realities of his imprisonment.

Navalny, a staunch critic of President Vladimir Putin, died in a Russian penal colony in February 2024, under circumstances many suspect involved poisoning.

His memoir, titled "Patriot," is set to be released on October 22, capturing his thoughts and experiences during his incarceration.

Despite the isolation, Navalny's humor and determination shine through, as he hoped his writings would serve as a testament to his beliefs and struggles.
