Gleb Olegovich Pavlovsky (Russian: Глеб Олегович Павловский; 5 March 1951 – 27 February 2023)[1] was a Russian political scientist who also described himself as a "political technologist".[2] During the Soviet era, he was prosecuted as a dissident.[3] From 1996 to 2011, he was a political adviser to Vladimir Putin. Since then, he was a critic of the Russian government.

Pavlovsky was president of the Foundation for Effective Politics (FEP).[4] In 1997, he helped create "Russian Journal", one of Russia's oldest websites.[5] Pavlovsky and FEP organized and financed many early websites on the Runet, including Lenta.ru. From 2005 to 2008, Pavlovsky hosted the weekly television news commentary "Real Politics", which was shown on NTV Russia at 10:00 p.m. on Saturdays. In 2012, he became editor-in-chief of the Russian-language blog Gefter.ru.
