Early life

Eva Hartog Skorobogatova is the child of a Dutch father, who translated books from Russian into Dutch,[4] and a Russian mother. She grew up in Spain.[5] Hartog studied liberal arts and sciences at University College Utrecht and political philosophy at the University of Leiden.[4]

Career

In 2013 she was recruited by Derk Sauer to move to Moscow and work as an English language journalist for The Moscow Times, writing both for the (already rapidly dwindling) expatriate community in the Russian capital and for internationally based readers.[5] In 2017 she was appointed editor in chief of the newspaper. At around the same time, the newspaper cancelled its regular print edition in order to concentrate on its online presence. Hartog stated that she had been unaware of this development when accepting her new position. The occasional print edition continued to appear on an irregular basis, when sufficient advertising revenue could be secured. When The Moscow Times was transferred to Rusian majority control to comply with new legal requirements prohibiting foreign ownership, Hartog insisted that the publication remained free of direct censorship, but acknowledged that it could at any time be closed down by the authorities. She resigned her post as editor in chief in 2019.[4][5][6]

Alongside her work for The Moscow Times, Hartog Skorobogatova writes for The Guardian, Vrij Nederland and Time.[6] She also appears on various media channels, including the Dutch television programme De Wereld Draait Door until it was discontinued in 2020, as a "Russia clarifier".[7]
