Together with Ben Noble and Morvan Lallouet I am currently working on a book manuscript on Navalny’s politics and his movement for a broad, non-specialist readership. It is going to appear in August 2021 with Hurst Publishers (UK) and Oxford University Press (US).
The book is also coming out in several other languages, including German (Hoffmann & Campe), French (Tallandier), Polish (Zysk), Dutch (Xander), Romanian (Corint), Hungarian (Alexandra), and Finnish (Bazar).
