Kirill Konstantinovich Martynov (Russian: Кирилл Константинович Мартынов; born 25 April 1981) is a Russian journalist, political scientist, philosopher and writer.[1] He is the editor-in-chief of Novaya Gazeta Europe and former associate professor at the Higher School of Economics (HSE).[2]

Early life and education

[edit]

Kirill Martynov was born on 25 April 1981 in the city of Kemerovo, USSR.[3] In 1998 he graduated from high school number 28 in Kemerovo.[4] In 2003, Martynov graduated from the Faculty of Philosophy [ru; cv; fr; sl] at Moscow State University with a degree in ontology and theory of knowledge. In 2004, Martynov created the Young Patriots (Младопатриоты) community on LiveJournal, a Russian social network. In this community, he wrote that he is Orthodox Christian and supports the annexation of Crimea to Russia.[3][5]

Martynov speaks English and German.[6]

Career

[edit]

From 2003 to 2007, Martynov was an assistant at the Department of Philosophy and Psychology at Moscow Polytechnic University. In 2007, he became a senior lecturer and then an assistant professor at the National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE).[4][6] Martynov also worked for the Foundation for Effective Politics [ru], a Russian non-profit organisation founded by Gleb Pavlovsky.[4][5] Martynov was named the best teacher of the HSE in 2011, 2013, 2014 and 2016–2019.[6]

Martynov was also the editor in chief of the mnenia.ru (Russian: мнения.ру) website,[7] a teacher at the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, a press secretary at the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs and a coordinator at the United Russia club.[5]

In 2019, due to pressure from the Russian authorities, 2 journalists from the political department of the Russian newspaper Kommersant were fired and 11 more journalists from the same department resigned in protest. Martynov supported them.[8] On 11 August 2020, it became known that he was fired from the HSE. The official reason given was the reduction in the number of philosophy courses.[9] Martynov himself is sure that the dismissal is connected with his political views. He and several other dismissed HSE employees founded a free university in Russia.[10]

On 20 April 2022, the Novaya Gazeta Europe website was launched. Martynov was its first chief editor.[11][12][13] Prior to that, he was the political editor of Novaya Gazeta.[14][15]
