Anatoly Aleksandrovich Wasserman (Russian: Анато́лий Алекса́ндрович Ва́ссерман, Ukrainian: Анатолій Олександрович Вассерман; born 9 December 1952, in Odessa, USSR) is a journalist and political pundit who has won television intellectual quiz shows.[1]

Biography[]

Wasserman studied thermal physics at the Institute of refrigeration and cryotechnologies in Odessa, specializing also in computer programming. In 1974—1991 he was employed as a programmer at different R&D centers in Odessa dealing with low-temperature food technologies.[2]

Wasserman has worked as a journalist since 23 November 1991 to the present (throughout 1996–1999, for computer magazines in particular).

In 1994 he run for Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and took the second place in the constituency.[2]

After the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation and the start of the War in Donbas Wasserman became increasingly critical towards Ukrainian government. In 2015, the Security Service of Ukraine opened a criminal investigation against him for alleged separatist activity.[3]

On 27 January 2016 Wasserman became naturalized Russian citizen (citizenship was granted by Vladimir Putin).[3]

On 27 June 2016 he was nominated as a candidate for Deputy of the State Duma of Russia from the party A Just Russia, took the second place in the constituency[4]

Wasserman advised Medvedev not to experiment on Russians after the proposal of the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev to begin a gradual transition to a shorter working week, starting with an experiment on the territory of one region or group of companies. According to the publicist, without accurate economic calculations, this can result in a reduction in wages. Wasserman noted that "we do not need experiments, but concrete calculations". It is necessary to calculate whether the increase in labor productivity will compensate for the loss of one working day, because otherwise, the salary of citizens will fall, the journalist explained.[5]
