Russian journalist and politician Aleksander Nevzorov is a frequent guest to Echo of Moscow radio station, co-hosts a television show on the independent Russian station TV-Dozhd, and has a column at snob.ru. He is one of the most prominent and controversial intellectuals in Russia today.
He was elected to the Duma four times, each time to a single-mandate constituency. As he has publicly admitted, for the whole period from 1993 until 2007, he showed up in the Duma only four times, and some media report that Nevzorov was famous for never having signed a single bill. In early 1990s he hosted the immensely popular television show, 600 seconds, on St. Petersburg’s Channel 5.
