Biography
Kolesnikov was born in Moscow in 1965. His father, Vladimir Ivanovich Kolesnikov (b. 1928), worked for the apparatus of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. His mother Adel Davydovna Kolesnikova (nee Traub, b. 1928), was a French language teacher. His brother, Sergey Kolesnikov, was a Kremlin speechwriter.[4] He graduated from the Moscow State Faculty of Law in 1987.
From 1987 to 1990, he worked as a senior consultant at the judicial committee of criminal cases at the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation.
Between 1990 and 1992, he pursued a career in journalism and worked for a publication called Dialog. From 1992 to 1993, he worked as a journalist for Russian News. Subsequently, from 1993 to 1995, he was employed as a journalist at Ogoniok magazine.
Beginning in 1995, he worked for the newspaper The New Times. Initially, he served as a journalist and later took on the role of deputy editor, gaining valuable experience in the field of journalism and media management.
In 1998, he transitioned to work for the newspaper Izvestiya. From June to September 1998, he held the position of editor of the economics department, where he likely oversaw coverage of economic matters and policies.
Following his stint as the economics department editor, from September 1998 to January 2000, Kolesnikov was appointed as the editor of politics at Izvestiya.
In January 2000, he decided to transition to a different role within the field of journalism and became a political journalist.
Twenty days after Vladimir Putin took over the presidency from Boris Yeltsin, Kolesnikov compared Putin with Mussolini.[5] Kolesnikov remained a fierce critic of the system that Putin established.[6][7]
He was awarded the Adam Smith national prize.[3]
