In March of this year, from the stage of the Royal Albert Hall in London, Cumberbatch read a letter from Navalny, which he dedicated to the third anniversary of his return to Russia. The actor read the letter in English at an event for the Letters Live project, which began in 2013, in which celebrities read other people's letters in public.
In April 2023, Cumberbatch, along with Jude Law, JK Rowling and Mikhail Baryshnikov, was included in a list of 128 cultural figures who demanded the release of Alexei Navalny. They wrote an open letter to Vladimir Putin, saying that the politician was “serving a prison sentence on charges that would never be accepted by any independent, fair court.”

Navalny's autobiography includes his memoirs and prison diaries. “I want him not to be forgotten, so that people around the world - even those who already knew him - know more about him. About his childhood, how he became a politician and leader of the Russian political opposition, how many people became his supporters and began to share his position. I want his voice to be heard loudly even after his death,” said the widow of the politician Yulia Navalnaya.
The book was published in 36 countries in 26 languages, including Russian.
