Anna Leonidovna Khachiyan (Russian: Анна Леонидовна Хачиян; born August 23, 1985)[1][2][3] is an American cultural critic,[4][5] writer,[6] and co-host of the Red Scare podcast with Dasha Nekrasova, based out of New York City.[7][8] She is the daughter of Soviet-American mathematician Leonid Khachiyan.[9]

Early life

[edit]

Khachiyan was born in Moscow, Soviet Union, on August 23, 1985.[2][3] In 1990, she immigrated to the United States with her parents and was raised in New Jersey.[10] Her father is the Soviet mathematician and Rutgers University professor Leonid Khachiyan and her mother is Olga Pischikova Reynberg.[9] She is of Armenian, Russian and Ashkenazi Jewish descent.[11]

Khachiyan received the Patrick J. Quigley memorial scholarship from Rutgers University in 2006, studying economics and art history and graduating with honors.[12] She went on to pursue a master's degree in art history at New York University,[13] as well as a PhD in Soviet architecture, completing the former and dropping out of the latter.[7][10]

Before Red Scare, Khachiyan worked odd jobs as a restaurant hostess,[14] illustrator[15] and actress.[16]

Career

[edit]

On March 29, 2018, Khachiyan started the cultural commentary podcast Red Scare, with co-host and actress Dasha Nekrasova. The show has been associated with both the dirtbag left[17][18][19][20] and the new right[21] as well as the subculture surrounding Dimes Square.[22][23][24][25] It covers current topics in American culture and politics in both a comedic and serious tone.

Khachiyan's commentary and critique of neoliberalism and feminism are heavily influenced by historian Christopher Lasch and social critic Camille Paglia.[7] She has also been influenced by Mark Fisher[6] and Michel Houellebecq.[4]

Khachiyan has been interviewed by Eric Weinstein and by Bret Easton Ellis on their respective podcasts.[26] She has also appeared on i24NEWS to discuss Russian-born convicted fraudster[27][28] Anna Delvey,[29] and as a speaker as part of Art Toronto's PLATFORM Speak Series.[30]

In September 2023, Khachiyan was a panelist in a public debate co-sponsored by The Free Press and the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), titled "Has the Sexual Revolution Failed?" [31] She argued alongside Louise Perry facing Sarah Haider and Grimes.

Personal life

[edit]

Khachiyan is in a relationship with percussionist and visual artist Eli Keszler.[32][33] On the February 13, 2021 episode of The Tim Dillon Show, Khachiyan announced she was eight months pregnant.[34] Her son was born on March 28, 2021.[35] Khachiyan suffers from adult-onset Still's disease, which she was diagnosed with after contracting COVID-19 in 2021.[36] She had previously questioned the efficacy of vaccines in the efforts to curb COVID-19, describing herself as becoming “an even more conservative Covid truther.”[37]
