Rabkor (online platform)

Last updated

Rabkor, short for "Rabochiy Korrespondent" (Worker Correspondent), is an online leftist media platform in Russia. Founded by sociologist and political activist Boris Kagarlitsky, it serves as a hub for socialist perspectives, offering articles, analyses, and discussions on various socio-political topics. The platform encompasses a website, YouTube channel, and Telegram channel, [1] aiming to provide in-depth coverage and critique of contemporary issues from a leftist viewpoint. ​

Rabkor has been influential in uniting individuals with diverse left-wing and pro-democratic perspectives, fostering a space for critical discourse and activism. [2] The platform was involved in anti-war activities in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. In 2022, Kagarlitsky and Rabkor convened the Anti-War Round Table of the Left Forces, which unequivocally condemned the invasion and called for anti-war agitation among Russian citizens. [3]
