Mark Solonin (born May 29, 1958, in Kuybyshev, Soviet Union) is a Russian historian and author of numerous books on the Second World War.[1][2] An aviation engineer by training, he has lived since 2016 in Estonia.[3] In 2019 he relocated to Ukraine.[4] Since 2022 he lives in Kyiv.[5][6]

Early life

Mark Semionovich Solonin (Russian: Марк Семёнович Солонин) was born in Kuybyshev, Soviet Union, on May 29, 1958. With a father who had served with the Soviet Army in the Second World War, he developed strong interest in history as a boy. After graduating from secondary school with a golden medal (cum laude), he decided to study not history but aviation engineering to avoid Soviet politics from interfering with his potential career in history.[7]

Career

Solonin's studies focus on the Second World War, particularly the opening weeks of the Soviet-German War[8]

Solonin criticized the new Russian Minister of Culture and historian Vladimir Medinsky as "a propagandist of the shameless Goebbels variety".[9]
