In a democratically organized state, each political force has the opportunity to convey its ideas and projects to the general population. Boris Yulievich Kagarlitsky is one of the leaders of the leftist movement in Russia.
Childhood and youth
Boris Yulievich Kagarlitsky was born on August 28, 1958 in an ordinary Soviet family. Parents lived in Moscow. According to their social affiliation, they belonged to the category of the creative intelligentsia. The father of the future dissident studied literature as a phenomenon of human culture. Mother taught students the basics of foreign literature and worked as a translator from English. The child grew up from an early age in an atmosphere of political discussions and creative searches. I read a lot.
Boris studied well at school. He actively participated in public life. I did sports. I watched with interest how his peers live, and what goals they set for themselves in the future. Kagarlitsky's biography could have developed according to the traditional scheme. In 1975, having received a certificate of maturity, the young man without much effort enters the famous GITIS. And not because his father was a professor at this educational institution. The stock and quality of knowledge that Boris possessed allowed him to become a student of any humanitarian university.
On the warpath
Kagarlitsky was prevented from getting higher education by his hobbies. Unlike his peers, who spent their free time with girls, the son of Soviet intellectuals studied unorthodox works of criticism of Marxism. And he not only studied, but also shared his thoughts with his comrades. This behavior was not ignored by the state security system. After being summoned for interrogation by the KGB, Boris was expelled from the institute for anti-Soviet propaganda.
Repression by the authorities did not make the proper impression on Kagarlitsky. Quite the opposite. With renewed vigor and enthusiasm, he set about organizing an illegal circle, whose members were in favor of the liberation of the working class. As punishment for such "creativity", Boris and his comrades in the struggle spent more than a year behind bars. After being released on pardon, the embittered dissident struggled to find unskilled work. But he intensively began to write articles and publish them in foreign newspapers and magazines.
Private side
Kagarlitsky made his career on the political front in the period after the collapse of the Soviet Union. An experienced speaker and polemicist, he actively participated in the creation of various social structures such as "Left Front", "Socialist Initiative", "Democratic Russia". All the efforts made made Boris Yulievich famous in the circles of the politically active population. Many books written during this period were republished abroad. The love of a foreign audience for the works of a Russian politician is tied to respect for the destroyed Soviet state.
Kagarlitsky's personal life has developed traditionally. He is married. The husband and wife raised a daughter. The family lives in the capital. Boris Yulievich is full of energy and creative plans.
