Vladimir Valerianovich Pribylovsky (Template:Lang-ru, 6 March 1956 – 13 January 2016) was a Russian political analyst, journalist, human rights activist, and author of internet database Anticompromat.org on biographies of Russian politicians.[1] He also authored more than 40 books.[2]
Biography
Pribylovsky graduated from the Department of Medieval History of Moscow State University in 1981 specializing in Byzantine studies, and published several articles on early Byzantine history.[3][4]In the 1980s he was persecuted by Soviet authorities for spreading banned literature.
Since 1993 he was the president of the Panorama Information and Research Center think tank.[5] From November 2005 he operated the Russian-language website Anticompromat.org,[6] which is essentially a collection of biographies of Russian politicians compiled and partially written by Pribylovsky from a variety of published sources.[7] The site was included in the Federal List of Extremist Materials. On 31 March, after being shortly closed, the website moved to a Californian hosting.
Together with Yury Felshtinsky, Pribylovsky co-authored The Operation Successor, a book about Vladimir Putin's rise to power. Later versions were published as The Age of Assassins and Corporation.[8][9][10]
His latest project was providing Russian language documents about corruption in Russia for international project "Kleptocracy Initiative", including documents on registration of cooperative Ozero.[11]
On 13 January 2016, Pribylovsky was found dead in his Moscow apartment.[12] According to preliminary reports, he died of a heart attack.[13]
