Run for your life : the remarkable true story of a family forced into hiding after leaking Russian secrets
Williams, Sue, 1959 April 2-2024
Books
What started out as a great adventure turned into a terrifying nightmare when Nick Stride and his family were forced to flee for their lives from one of the richest, most powerful men in the world. Nick moved to Russia in 1998 to help build the British Embassy in Moscow, but ended up on the run with his wife and two children after leaking secrets from Vladimir Putin's one-time deputy. Hiding off grid on Australia's final frontier -- remote beaches on the Dampier Peninsula on the far north Kimberley coast -- the family faced crocodiles, sharks, snakes, raging bushfires and the devastating Cyclone Yvette, and survived only by catching fish and crabs and learning how to kill wild animals. It was a life-or-death move, but Nick felt he had no choice. Now, emerging from isolation, the family are finally ready to share their incredible story.
