The Washington Post has published a review of Mikhail Khodorkovsky’s book “My Fellow Prisoners”, which was recently released in the United States. Reviewer John Paul O’Malley describes the collection as “an illuminating and brave piece of work“:

Khodorkovsky’s strength is his ability to connect these stories from inside the prison walls to the political tragedy that has been happening on the outside since the fall of the Soviet Union. He describes Russia as a “society where goodness and empathy are seen as synonymous with madness.”

“My Fellow Prisoners” is an illuminating and brave piece of work from a man we have surely not seen the last of as he continues to fight for social justice, accountability and human decency in a country where — given the recent killing of opposition politician Boris Nemtsov — politics, fear and authoritarian rule are almost impossible to separate.
