Jamie Glazov holds a Ph.D. in history with specialties in U.S., Russian, and Canadian foreign policy. He is the managing editor of FrontPage Magazine, the online and printed political publication founded by David Horowitz of the David Horowitz Freedom Center.
The work done by FrontPage Magazine and the David Horowitz Freedom Center is simply heroic and they truly are on the front lines. David Horowitz has said: “The Freedom Center is not a think tank; it’s a battle tank.”
To understand Dr. Glazov’s life’s work, it is helpful to understand his personal history. He was born in 1966 in Russia to Yuri and Marina Glazov, intellectuals and dissidents. Yuri Glazov was a scholar at the Soviet Academy of Sciences and a professor who in the 1960s began to participate in demonstrations on behalf of political prisoners and signed protest letters against political repression. Marina Glazov, also a professor, like her husband, signed protest letters and participated in typing and distributing underground political literature.
Yuri Glazov in 1968 signed The Letter of Twelve, which was signed by 12 dissidents denouncing Soviet human rights abuses and delivered it to the Supreme Congress of Communist Parties in Budapest. This led to his immediate expulsion from the Academy. He was subsequently blacklisted, unable to work, and constantly harassed by the KGB. In 1972, the Glazov family was fortunate enough to obtain visas to leave the USSR and they came to the West.
It is this personal history that instilled in Dr. Glazov the profound appreciation for liberty and freedom and a unique personal understanding of totalitarianism and tyranny. In keeping with the example of his parents, Dr. Glazov fights for the oppressed and persecuted and, particularly, brave Muslim dissidents, Christians, Jews, Muslim women, and all other minorities and peoples persecuted under Islamist tyranny.
Dr. Glazov is the critically acclaimed author of United in Hate: The Left’s Romance with Tyranny and Terror, which analyzes the radical left’s present-day tolerance of militant Islam and romance with dictators such as Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro as a continuation of the radical left’s embrace of communist totalitarianism in the 20th century. Dr. Glazov’s latest book, Showdown With Evil: Our Struggle Against Tyranny and Terror, is a compilation of 29 of his FrontPage Magazine interviews that span topics such as the current terror war, the left/radical Islam alliance, and leaving the leftist faith.
