Life edit

Yudin gained his BA and MA in sociology at the Higher School of Economics, Moscow.[1] In 2012, he received a PhD in anthropology from the University of Manchester. He is a Senior Researcher in the Laboratory for Studies in Economic Sociology at the Higher School of Economics, and heads Russia's first MA program in political philosophy at the Moscow School for the Social and Economic Sciences.[1]

In early 2022, Yudin warned of a lack of political awareness amongst the Russian population about the Russo-Ukrainian crisis.[4] On 22 February 2022, Yudin predicted that Putin was "about to start the most senseless war in history".[5] After participating in protest against the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, he was beaten unconscious by police and needed treatment at the Sklifosovsky Institute in central Moscow.[6]
