The Dissident: Book Talk With Alexey Navalny Biographer David M. Herszenhorn

Vladimir Putin may refuse to utter his name, but Alexey Navalny remains the defiant face of Russia’s embattled political opposition. Having bravely returned to Russia in the wake of a botched assassination attempt in summer 2020, Navalny is now imprisoned in brutal conditions in a remote prison above the Arctic Circle.
Few are better equipped to tell his harrowing story than veteran Russia-watcher David M. Herszenhorn of the Washington Post. Herszenhorn's new book, The Dissident: Alexey Navalny: Profile of a Political Prisoner, offers a gripping account of Navalny's life, from his childhood in the Soviet Union to his anti-corruption activism and the Kremlin's heavy-handed attempts to silence him-for good.
Please join Herszenhorn and CNN's Kaitlan Collins for a discussion of this important new book. A book signing and reception will follow the event. Copies will be available for purchase.

Great conversation. Thank you both so much. A wonderful interview.

Talk starts at 16:25, if you want to skip the “livestream will begin momentarily” screen
1:01:40 is now sadly too relevant, given the news of Navalny’s death yesterday. 😢

Did this broadcast contribute to Navalny's assasination?
