Yan Rachinsky

Yan Zbignevich Rachinsky (, also spelt Jan Raczynski, born 6 December 1958 in Moscow, USSR) is a Russian human rights activist, programmer and mathematician.

He has been a human rights activist since the late 1980s when he first became involved in the work and activities of Memorial, a human rights organization examining the crimes of Stalin's regime. When the long-serving chairman of International Memorial, Arseny Roginsky, died in 2018, the board elected Rachinsky as his successor.

Memorial was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2022, and Rachinsky received the prize on its behalf. Provided by Wikipedia
