memoir of an ordinary man sentenced to lengthy and brutal imprisonment in
Putin's Russia when he refused to give false evidence against Yukos owner
Mikhail Khodorkovsky. Published originally in Russian in 2013, The Prisoner is the true
story of how an ordinary man's life was torn apart by the Kremlin. One day,
Vladimir was a senior manager in Yukos, an oil and gas company based in Moscow,
enjoying the good life; the next, he was plunged into the nightmarish world of
Russia's notoriously brutal prisons and penal colonies, including some in which
political prisoner Alexei Navalny has been, and continues to be, held. His 'crime' was to have refused to give false
evidence against Yukos owner Mikhail Khodorkovsky. For this, Pereverzin was
sentenced to a lengthy and harsh incarceration. As Russia has adopted new laws to punish people for sharing information
about its ongoing 'special operation' in Ukraine, Vladimir's striking memoir
has become more relevant than ever.
