Валдайский Клуб - кто организатор? Николай Злобин (Nikolai Zlobin)
Russian Unorthodox
He has been an advisor to Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin. He's renowned internationally as a journalist and scholar. And he has been a highly popular visiting professor at Webster University. So why is Nikolai Zlobin looking for a job?
He is the former chair of the political-history department at Moscow State University, where he also received his Ph.D. He is the author of nine books and co-authored the first Russian history textbook for high-school students in the era of Perestroika.
He's served as a special correspondent for both Literaturnaya Gazeta, the newspaper with Russia's largest circulation, and Nezavisimaya Gazeta, the more independent paper of the new Russian press.
According to Zlobin, he could go anywhere: Georgetown, American U., the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the Woodrow Wilson Center, the Smithsonian. Call him crazy, but he'd like to remain at World Headquarters, Webster University.
But he won't. Zlobin has been working as a visiting professor at Webster since 1995 with a series of one-year appointments at the exceedingly low-scale salary of $20,800 annually. He was told at the beginning of this academic year that the chances for a further extension were nil, although he could remain as an adjunct, being paid $2,100 per course with no benefits.
