Wasserman on the Echo of Moscow program, 5 February 2012
Anatoly Aleksandrovich Wasserman[note 1] (Russian: Анато́лий Алекса́ндрович Ва́ссерман, Ukrainian: Анатолій Олександрович Вассерман; born 9 December 1952) is a politician, journalist and political pundit who has won numerous television intellectual quiz shows.[3] Since September 2021 he is a member of the State Duma of the Russian Federation (the 8th convocation).
On 27 January 2016, Wasserman became a naturalized Russian citizen (with citizenship granted by Vladimir Putin).[5]
On 27 June 2016, he was nominated as a candidate for Deputy of the State Duma of Russia from the party A Just Russia; he took the second place in his constituency.[6]
Wasserman advised Dmitry Medvedev not to experiment on Russians after Medvedev (the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation) proposed beginning a gradual transition to a shorter working week, starting with an experiment on the territory of one region or on a group of companies. According to the publicist, without accurate economic calculations, this can result in a reduction in wages. Wasserman noted that "we do not need experiments, but concrete calculations". It is necessary to calculate whether the increase in labor productivity will compensate for the loss of one working day, because otherwise, the salary of citizens will fall, the journalist explained.[7]
