Lev Markovich Schlossberg (Russian: Лев Ма́ркович Шло́сберг; born 30 July 1963, Pskov) is a Russian politician, human rights activist, journalist,[1] chairman of the Pskov Oblast branch of Yabloko, and a member of its federal political committee.[2][3]
Biography[]
Schlossberg is of Ashkenazi Jewish descent. He joined Yabloko in 1994, becoming head of the Pskov branch of the party in 1996. From 2011 to 2015 he was a member of the Pskov Oblast Assembly of Deputies.
He has gained fame in August 2014 when he made a publication for the newspaper «Pskovskaya guberniya», where he spread information about the suspicious deaths of troops of 76th Guards Air Assault Division, Leonid Kichatkin and Alexander Osipov.[4] Schlossberg claimed they died fighting in the Donbass.
In 2015, Schlossberg was deprived of authority by a court and by vote of fellow deputies. Schlossberg claims this was politically motivated.[5][6] That year, he ran for the post of chairman of the democratic party Yabloko. He was defeated by Emilia Slabunova in the second round.[7]
On 4 July 2016 he announced he was running for Parliament, in that year's State Duma Election, but lost the election in his constituency, coming in fifth with around 6% of the vote.[8][9] Nonetheless, that same election, Yabloko won one seat in the Pskov Oblast Assembly of Deputies, and Schlossberg returned to the legislature.[10][11]
In 2021, Schlossberg decided to run in the 2021 State Duma Elections, again as a candidate of Yabloko. However this time he is running in the in Moscow, instead of his home district of Pskov.[12]
