[edit] Biography
Pribylovsky graduated from the Department of Medieval History of Moscow State University in 1981 specializing in Byzantine studies. In 1980s he was persecuted by Soviet authorities for spreading banned literature.
Since 1993 he is the president of the Panorama Information and Research Center think tank. Since November 2005 he has also operated the Russian-language opposition political website Anticompromat.ru,[1] which is essentially a collection of biographies of Russian politicians written mostly by him.[2] Pribylovsky emphazises that Anticompromat.ru is opposition politics:[3]
"I pre-select what I find interesting and don't hide my bias"[3]
On 31 March, after being shortly closed, the website moved to a Californian hosting and became available at Anticompromat.org. On 1 April its mirror was reopened at the original URL.
Vladimir Pribylovsky has co-authored chapters of The Operation Successor book about Vladimir Putin's coming to power with Yury Felshtinsky. Its newer version was published as The Age of Assassins.[4][5][6]
