The political campaigner "wrote the entire memoir himself," publishers Vintage told the BBC.

Navalny began work on his book while recovering from his 2020 poisoning with a nerve agent.

He died in February after three years in jail for charges widely seen as politically motivated.

His memoir will be "the full story of his life: his youth, his call to activism, his marriage and family, and his commitment to the cause of Russian democracy and freedom in the face of a world superpower determined to silence him," Vintage said.
