In this remarkable translation of Vladimir Pereverzins shocking, yet also wryly humorous and ultimately uplifting memoir, originally published in Russian in 2013, the reader is transported to a Kafkaesque world where an ordinary man's life is irrevocably shattered by the Kremlin. It is the true story of how Vladimir, a senior manager at Yukos, an oil and gas company based in Moscow, was abruptly thrust into the nightmarish realm of Russia's notorious prisons and penal colonies, including some where political prisoner Alexei Navalny was held. His 'crime' was the refusal to provide false evidence against Yukos owner Mikhail Khodorkovsky, resulting in a lengthy and harsh incarceration.

As Russia continues to implement new laws to punish individuals for disclosing information about its ongoing 'special operation' in Ukraine, Vladimir's memoir has gained even greater relevance. The book vividly portrays the harsh realities of life behind bars, the injustices faced by prisoners, and the unwavering courage of those who stand up against oppression.

Pereverzin's memoir is a testament to the human spirit's resilience and the power of truth to overcome even the most formidable obstacles. It serves as a reminder that, in the face of adversity, we must never lose hope and continue to fight for justice and freedom. Through his experiences, Vladimir has become a symbol of resistance and a voice for those who have been silenced by the Kremlin.

This translation of Vladimir Pereverzins memoir is a masterful piece of work that brings his story to a wider audience. It is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of Russian politics, the human cost of corruption, and the enduring spirit of resistance.
