Together with Ben Noble and Morvan Lallouet I have recently co-authored a book on Navalny’s politics and his movement for a broad, non-specialist readership. It has been published in August 2021 with Hurst Publishers (UK) and in September 2021 with Oxford University Press (US). It is available online with OUP Scholarship.
The book is also available in several translations, including German (Hoffmann & Campe), French (Tallandier), Dutch (Xander), Romanian (Corint), Finnish (Bazar), Polish (Zysk), Hungarian (Alexandra), and Japanese (NHK).
