from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Life

Neshnyj was born on August 17, 1940 in Moscow and studied journalism at the Lomonosov University in Moscow . In 1958 he started working as a journalist at Komsomolskaya Pravda and Trud .

As a journalist traveled across the USSR and published his journalism and prose in the most important literary magazines such as Novyj Mir , Druzhba Narodow , Znamja and Zwesda . Nezhnyj is the author of 18 documentary and fiction works. He writes for Russian and Western media and The New York Times , Ogonjek , and gives lectures on the Echo Moskwy radio and Swoboda radio .

During the years of perestroika he became one of the first authors to write about the persecution of the Church by the Soviet regime and to speak out for freedom of religion. But already in the 1990s, his rigorous sharp criticism of religious fanaticism and the recent renewed connection of church and state in Russia (see. Made Znamya , no. 6, 06.2016) and its Antisimetismus- and racism criticism Neshnyj often prey to nationalist and religious Attacks.

He draws inspiration for writing from dynamic changes in contemporary life, numerous encounters and research in archives. His work is strongly influenced by Lev Tolstoy and Vladimir Solovyov. Alexander Neshnyj uses well-founded documentary material, newspaper articles, memories from contemporaries and documents in his works. Among the documents meticulously collected in archives is material from the KGB archives, which was made available to a wider public for a short time in the 1990s.

Alexander Neshnyj lives and works in Moscow.

Press reviews

The pedagogue Jamburg conclusively sums up the work of Alexander Neshnyj in Russian literature and public discourses: «That Nezhniy was the first to report on the bitter and terrible tragedy of the Orthodox Church in the USSR and who campaigned for religious freedom as early as the 1980s , kept him all the less from perceiving false overtones in the triumphant symphony [of the Russian Orthodox Church].
