Oleg Matveychev

Oleg Anatol'evich Matveychev (Russian: Олег Анатольевич Матвейчев, born 1 February 1970) is a Russian politician and spin doctor for the Kremlin.[1] He is currently a professor at National Research University – Higher School of Economics in Moscow. Matveychev has published various books on politics and public relations.[2]

Career

In 1993 Matveychev graduated in philosophy from the Ural State University. He then did a PhD in the philosophy of politics and law with the thesis topic of Philosophy of Hegel's Politics and Modernity.[3] From 1996 he became an active political consultant for Russian regional elections and participated in over 60 campaigns.[4]

Politics

From 2006 to 2010 Matveychev was a staff member of Presidential Administration of Russia. In 2010 Matveychev became deputy governor of the Vologda Oblast.[3] In 2011 he became deputy governor of the Volgograd Oblast.[3]

Controversy

In 2010, according to the Guardian newspaper, Matveychev caused controversy by writing on his blog that "he dreamed of gathering the Russian opposition on a city square and calling in an army of tanks to mow them down. 'And then, like after Tiananmen in China, we would also have 10% annual economic growth after 20 or 30 years'".[1]

Matveychev is an opponent of copyright. He was involved in at least two plariarism scandals, where Matveychev was the one whose writings were plagiarized, once by Anna Chapman, and a second time by the Russian Minister of Culture Vladimir Medinsky in his book "Myths about Russia", particularly in the chapter about "unwashed Europe" and "clean Russia". Matveychev had announced that he is not going to pursue any action as the copyright impedes innovation and "behind every thought or object is every human being who ever lived".[5][6]

Matveychev is an author of alternative theory about ending of Trojan War, with the Trojans as winners. [7]

Additionally, Matveychev was behind the idea to change a name of a real person to Harry Potter to participate in Yekaterinburg regional elections.[8]
