Russian political scientist and political strategist Gleb Pavlovsky has died at 71, according to Simon Kordonsky, the head of the local self-government department at Moscow’s Higher School of Economics. He reportedly died from an unspecified illness.

Pavlovsky was the founder and head of the Effective Policy Foundation, a political strategy firm that worked on the presidential campaigns of Boris Yeltsin, Vladimir Putin, and Viktor Yanukovych, among others. Pavlovsky continued to work as a Kremlin advisor until 2011, when he was dismissed after criticizing Putin and then-President Dmitry Medvedev’s “castling” move, which allowed Putin to run for a third term. After leaving the Kremlin, Pavlovsky became an outspoken critic of Russia’s top leadership.

Some of Pavlovsky’s insights

‘A chance for revenge’ The rise and fall of ‘methodology,’ the school of thought that produced the idea of the ‘Russian world’
