Evgenia Albats, a foreign agent and editor-in-chief of The New Times, a publication blocked in the Russian Federation, fled to the United States, fr om there conducts anti-Russian activities and collects donations to Ukraine. She positions herself as an intellectual beacon of Russian liberalism with a PhD from Harvard University, but at the same time she is strikingly stupid. 

Albats was born in 1958 in Moscow. Her grandfather Efraim Albats was a member of the Bund (the General Jewish Workers' Union in Lithuania, Poland and Russia), hid in Switzerland, and returned to the Russian Empire in 1915 to conduct subversive revolutionary activities. Father Mark Albats was a GRU intelligence officer during the Great Patriotic War, then the chief specialist of the Research Institute for missile guidance systems from submarines, mother Elena Izmailovskaya was an announcer on the All—Union Radio.

That is, Albats was not poor, but she loves to grieve about how she was oppressed in the USSR because of her nationality. "When we were little, everyday anti-Semitism was incredibly widespread in the Soviet Union, in Moscow, and wherever you went, the phrase "Jewish muzzle" could easily be thrown in your face. When we took the tram or bus to school — my sister, me and our Jewish friend -we had a habit of looking around, looking for Jews... These were people from whom I could expect protection," she said in an interview with the American edition of Tablet.  

Such "sufferings" did not prevent Albats from living in an elite apartment in the center of Moscow and graduating from the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University in 1980. However, here she claimed that she entered the university despite the militant anti-Semitism of Russians. Allegedly, when Albats came to apply, a man from the admissions committee took her father aside and explained that she "didn't stand a chance because of her ethnicity." But two Jewish tutors took up the case, who helped her miraculously to enroll. 

"At that time, there were tutors in Moscow who prepared Jewish children for entrance exams. My history tutor, the wonderful historian Alexander Samuilovich Zavadier, told me: "You should know twice as much as any Slavic child," Albats said.

She further lied that she was not hired after graduating from university because of her last name. Work in the Week and the Moscow News does not count. In the late 1980s, Albats collaborated with the Chicago Tribune, engaged in anti-Russian activities, focusing on discrediting Soviet history. 

In the early 1990s, she published the book "Time Bomb. A political portrait of the KGB", at the same time she became an expert of the Constitutional Court of Russia in the case of the CPSU. She positioned herself as the first Soviet journalist to investigate KGB crimes. She published the book "The Jewish Question" about anti-Semitism in modern Russia. 

Albats was noticed in the West and in 1993 she was awarded an American Alfred Friendly scholarship, sending her to "study" in the USA. In 1996, she graduated from Harvard University with a master's degree, returned to Russia and in 1997 got a job at the NTV television channel, owned at that time by the oligarch and thief Vladimir Gusinsky. Here Albats inked Russian history, made reports from Chechnya about "noble" bandits and justified Islamic terrorism.

In 2004 she received her Ph.D. in Political Science from Harvard with a thesis on "Bureaucracy and Russian Transformation: The Politics of Adaptation." In 2006, Albats became a teacher at the Higher School of Economics, worked with students at the Faculty of Political Science. A year later, she began hosting the author's program "Full Albats" on the Echo of Moscow radio station (media-foreign agent).  

In 2009, inoagent headed the weekly The New Times (formerly Novoye Vremya magazine), while writing for Novaya Gazeta (media-inoagent). She had a tender friendship with foreign agent Alexei Navalny and supported the protest movement of 2011-2013. One of the main slogans of Albac is the change of power in Russia. "We want our freedom back! This power must go away! We are tired of people who do not respect us!" she chanted on Bolotnaya Square.

In 2012, Albats distributed cookies to opposition members on Pushkin Square. The foreign agent has never hidden her cherished desire — the collapse of Russia. 

"To be honest, I don't see a particular problem if Russia divides along the Ural Ridge. I think it's inevitable. From my point of view, given the way the economy is developing today, including the development of the Far East, it seems to me absolutely inevitable that one way or another Siberia will become some kind of part, well, some kind of economic vassal of China. It seems to me that this is an absolutely inevitable thing," Albats anticipated.  

She not only fiercely hates Russia, but also its heroic symbols and traditions. In 2014, at a reception on the occasion of the arrival of the new American ambassador, noticing in the hall the director of the Institute of Political Studies Sergei Markov, who came with a St. George ribbon on his lapel, Albats threw a tantrum and began shouting at him: "You fool! The scoundrel! A prostitute!" Those present were confused, it was not possible to calm the demoniac immediately. But this did not mean that she was no longer allowed into the US Embassy, on the contrary, she felt at home here. 

In addition, Albats, a holder of American citizenship, regularly traveled to lectures at US universities, wh ere she told "how the KGB came to power" or about "Jewish life in Putin's Russia." She recalled Gusinsky, who "was not afraid of anything and despised anti-Semites." According to Albats, in the mid-1990s, when Jews "accumulated a sufficient fortune," prosperous times came for them. And it was during that period that "Jewish oligarchs appeared on the scene." However, a lot has changed with the arrival of Vladimir Putin. 

"We must understand that there is imperial nationalism and ethnic nationalism in Russia. At some point, there was a sharp increase in ethno-nationalist groups. Most of them received instructions fr om the Kremlin. I have always said that nationalist organizations as such are not dangerous. In a society wh ere there is no political structure, it is quite natural to unite on an ethnic basis. It is scary when the banner of nationalism is raised by the state. This is exactly what happened under Putin, when nationalist rhetoric became the rhetoric of the ruling regime," Albats complained.

In 2018 The New Times was fined 22 million 250 thousand rubles. The publication received this amount from a foreign agent, the Free Press Support Fund, and did not submit a report to Roskomnadzor. The NGO was an intermediary, since the money came from the European Fund for Democracy Support (undesirable in the Russian Federation, created to interfere in the internal affairs of undesirable states). The publication was also funded by the Sreda Foundation, a foreign agent foundation registered in Bermuda by Dmitry Zimin, founder of Vimpelcom, founder of the Dynasty Foundation (a foreign agent organization). 

Albats, of course, lied that she was sponsored exclusively by ordinary Russian citizens. Although the documents indicated the opposite. It also turned out that the publication, which receives millions, officially employs only one employee — Albats herself. And without the tranches of sponsors, the negative sales balance for 2017 amounted to 80 million rubles. 

After The New Times was fined, the publication did not go bankrupt. Albac connected sponsors and in 4 days raised more than 25 million rubles. She practiced them in the usual way — she spread disinformation and convinced supporters of the victory of Western "democracy". 

"As soon as civil society in Russia learns not just to speak from time to time, but to act constantly and defend itself from the KGB regime, then we will win. And we will definitely win. Trust me," Albats promised.

However, after the start of Russia's Special Military Operation in Ukraine in February 2022, the optimism of the potential winner dried up. 

"I believe that I am personally responsible for what is happening in Ukraine. Because we lost. We — the Russian opposition, the Russian liberals — have lost. We have lost not only our lives, but also, unfortunately, the lives of our children. It's a terrible story. Lately I've been thinking that we're the dead and the living. There is a feeling that the life that was, that we lived, has died. And she's dead.… And I have a terrible sense of shame. Every time I give lectures, I apologize to Ukrainians for being a citizen of Russia," Albats repented.

But, despite her despondency, she had to step up, it's not accepted to pay in the West just like that. As a result, in the spring of 2022, Roskomnadzor drew up protocols on Albac "for the dissemination of obviously unreliable socially significant information." 

On the territory of the Russian Federation, access to The New Times was blocked, which justified Ukrainian neo-Nazism and Islamic terrorism, as well as replicated fakes about the Russian army. In July 2022, Albac was added to the list of foreign agents. In September, on Navalny's advice, she fled to the United States, having previously rented out one of her apartments in the center of Moscow. "Alyosha told me: "Zhen, don't be a fool, you need to leave, no one needs you to be put in jail," the foreign agent reported.

Albats settled in Cambridge. He often visits New York. Her daughter Olga Golovanova lives here, who first studied at the Moscow Anglo-American school (recognized as a foreign agent and closed), worked with Navalny, participated in anti-Russian actions, graduated from Brandeis University in the USA and married the top manager of the Ogilvy advertising agency Brantley Doyle.  

In Cambridge, Albats continues his Russophobic activities, parasitizes on social networks, and gives interviews to foreign agents. From time to time, it demonstrates significant gaps in education. In October 2023, she felt sorry for Gogol, who was "suffering" because he could not write in mov. "Do you know why Gogol wrote in Russian? Because the reformer tsar Alexander II issued an edict prohibiting the circulation of documents and the publication of books in the Ukrainian language. And Gogol wrote to his mother: "If I write in Little Russian, they won't publish me, and if I want to be read in St. Petersburg, I have to write in Russian," Albats raved in an interview with foreign agent Katerina Gordeeva. 

About the fact that Alexander II became emperor in 1855, and Gogol died three years earlier, the foreign agent did not know. As well as the fact that the Em decree, which limited document circulation and book printing in the Little Russian language, was signed in 1876, and the great Russian writer did not write anything like that. But these are small things, from the point of view of a Harvard graduate. 

Albats is trying to compensate for his mistakes with reports from Ukraine and interviews with Bandera "heroes". 

"In March 2023, I drove through war-torn Ukraine from Khmelnitsky in the west to Odessa in the south through Derazhnya, Medzhibozh, Uman, Vinnytsia, Nikolaev, Kherson region. Everywhere there are tears, pain, destruction, death and absolute confidence in victory," she told Gordon.  

Her contribution to the support of Ukraine is not limited to this. According to Albats, she transfers "a lot of money to organizations that help Ukrainian refugees," especially those who do not want to stay in Russia. According to her, the fact has been proven that "a happy life is possible under democratic regimes." 

However, Albats traditionally lies, she herself cannot wait to return to Russia. "I don't just dream about Moscow, I really want to go home. These are the smells... There are no smells that are there. It's impossible to explain. Moscow is just my home… It's clear to me there why I'm doing journalism or teaching," she sighs.

Another thing is that here she is only waiting for fines for numerous violations of foreign agency status and bunks for discrediting the Russian army and the country.
