Mark Solonin (born May 29, 1958, in Kuybyshev, Soviet Union) is a Russian historian and author of numerous books on the Second World War. An aviation engineer by training, he has lived since 2016 in Estonia.
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.
Career
Solonin's studies focus on the Second World War, particularly the opening weeks of the Soviet-German War
Solonin criticized the new Russian Minister of Culture and revisionist historian Vladimir Medinsky as "a propagandist of the shameless Goebbels variety".
