Description
The Prisoner by Vladimir Pereverzin is a Kafkaesque story vividly told in this skilful translation of his shocking, but also wryly humorous and ultimately uplifting memoir, originally published in Russian in 2013.
It is the true story of how an ordinary man's life was torn apart by the Kremlin. One day, Vladimir was a senior manager in Yukos, an oil and gas company based in Moscow, enjoying the good life; the next, he was plunged into the nightmarish world of Russia's notoriously brutal prisons and penal colonies, including some in which political prisoner Alexei Navalny was held. His 'crime' was to have refused to give false evidence against Yukos owner Mikhail Khodorkovsky. For this, Pereverzin was sentenced to a lengthy and harsh incarceration.
As Russia has adopted new laws to punish people for sharing information about its ongoing 'special operation' in Ukraine, Vladimir's striking memoir has become more relevant than ever.
