Biography
He was born on 13 July 1950 in Leningrad. In 1976, he graduated from the Faculty of Psychology of Moscow State University with a PhD and started teaching there the same year.
He was the co-chair of the party Just Cause from 2008 to June 2011.[1]
In September 2014, he signed a statement to "Stop the aggressive adventure: To withdraw from the territory of Ukraine, Russian troops and stop the propaganda, financial and military support to the separatists in the South-East of Ukraine."[2] He again signed an anti-war petition in January 2022 during the 2021–2022 Russo-Ukrainian crisis.[3]
On 25 July 2022, he was detained by Russian police in Moscow "over his alleged failure to inform the authorities swiftly enough about his citizenship of Israel".[4]
In August 2022, he was arrested for 15 days based on a Facebook posting he made in 2022 with the following text:[5]
Hitler was an absolute evil, but Stalin was even worse. The SS were criminals, but the NKVD were even more terrible, because the Chekists murdered their own. Hitler unleashed a war against humanity; the communists declared total war against their own people.
