Biography[edit]
Irina Pruss was born in 1943 in the Kazakh SSR city of Guryev, now known as Atyrau. Her father, Vladimir Pruss, was of Baltic German ancestry and her mother, Maria Shkliar, was a Belarusian Jew. In the 1950s, the Pruss family moved to Kurgan where Vladimir became one of the founders of the History department at the local university.[2] After graduating from high school, Irina decided to study journalism at the Moscow State University but was at first denied admission because of her Jewish ethnicity. After a few years of working for a local newspaper in rural Kurgan Oblast, she was finally admitted to the MSU and finished her studies in 1966.
Her first job in journalism was for the daily newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda. From 1973 onwards, she has been working as an author and, later, editor for Znanie — Sila, one of the most well-known popular science magazines in the USSR. Between 2004 and 2017, she was one of the owners of the magazine. Occasionally, she wrote for other magazines such as Neprikosnovenny Zapas and Political Studies.
In the 1990s, she taught a Modern Russian Language course at the Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut. She has also taught Russian as a second language for foreign students at her alma mater, the MSU.[3]
