Vladimir Kara-Murza memoir ‘One Day Free’ to be released May 18

The memoir, One Day Free, will trace life under Vladimir Putin and examine Russians and Westerners who enabled his rule, the publisher said.

  • Public Affairs announced Wednesday that Vladimir Kara-Murza's memoir "One Day Free" will be published May 18, offering a "personal testimony and a historical chronicle" of the past quarter century under President Vladimir Putin.
  • Now living in the United States, Kara-Murza serves as vice-chairman of Open Russia, the NGO founded by Mikhail Khodorkovsky, following his 2024 release in a prisoner exchange for opposing Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
  • The memoir offers an "honest look at those people," both in Russia and in the West, who strengthened and enabled President Vladimir Putin's rule, while profiling those who fought his administration.
  • While imprisoned, Kara-Murza won a Pulitzer for his columns in The Washington Post and survived two poisonings and 11 months of solitary confinement in Siberia blamed on Russian officials.
  • Kara-Murza expressed optimism for Russia's future, stating that history shows "once-terrifying tyrannies" can become "peaceful civilized democracies" and no nation is ever "destined" to unfreedom.
