The Prisoner

Vladimir Pereverzin’s gripping memoir recounts his experience of rejecting false testimony against Mikhail Khodorkovsky, leading to his brutal imprisonment in Russia’s harsh penal system. Blending stark honesty with dry humor, his story offers a powerful look at resilience and the quest for freedom amidst political adversity. Originally published in 2013, the narrative remains highly relevant today, reflecting themes of resistance and personal strength under oppressive circumstances.
