The Russian oil mogul and activist offers reflections on his decades-long incarceration under Putin in this "illuminating and brave" prison memoir (
The Washington Post).
Mikhail Khodorkovsky was Russia's most successful businessman-and an outspoken critic of the Kremlin. As his oil company Yukos revived the Russian oil industry, Khodorkovsky began sponsoring programs to encourage civil society and fight corruption. Then he was arrested at gunpoint.
Sentenced to ten years in a Siberian penal colony on fraud and tax evasion charges in 2003, Khodorkovsky was put on trial again in 2010 and sentenced to fourteen years on new charges that contradicted the previous ones. While imprisoned, Khodorkovsky fought for the rights of his fellow prisoners, going on hunger strike four times.
After he was pardoned in 2013, he vowed to continue fighting for prisoners' rights, and this book is dedicated to that work. A moving portrait of the prisoners Khodorkovsky met,
My Fellow Prisoners is an eye-opening account of Russia's brutal prison system.
