One Book Publishing was founded in 2024 for a single purpose: to publish Alexei Navalny’s autobiography Patriot. It was important to us that readers could hear Alexei’s voice in his native language.

A year later, we realized we didn’t want to stop there. We will publish other books that cannot be printed in Putin’s Russia — both works written in Russian and translations. Books that are banned, removed from shelves, silenced by censorship, yet must be read.

We believe that Russian-speaking readers should continue to have access to the most essential works of our time — books that help us think, feel, and resist. Books that give a voice to those who are being silenced.
