The art critic and publicist Alexander Timofeevsky Jr.

The publicist and art critic Alexander Alexandrovich Timofeevsky died at the 62nd year of life at the country near Moscow, the writer Tatyana Tolstaya said.

The son of the poet and screenwriter Alexander Pavlovich Timofeevsky was the internal critic of the newspaper Kommersant during its heyday. He was called the ideologist of the daily issue of Kommersant and one of the creators of the post -Soviet language of Russian journalism. In addition, he was one of the creators of the newspapers “Conservative” and “Russian Telegraph” and the chief editor of the magazine “Russian Life”.

Timofeevsky wrote critical articles and essays, published in the magazines “The Art of Cinema”, “Capital”, “Snob” and the Russian Playboy, the newspaper Izvestia. The Internet magazine OpenSpace called him a person, without whom "the cultural life of Moscow is unusual."

“The only thing I want is to read the texts of people who know the Russian language,” the author of the “Openspace” quoted Maxim Semelik. “This is my constant desire, and every year it is less and less satisfied. You open the article, and it is impossible to delve into it, there are no images, I don’t want to read.”

In 2017, a collection of his works "Spring of the Middle Ages" was published, which included his articles about cinema and politics, written from 1988 to 2004, recalls the Rain television channel. Timofeevsky Jr., like his father, was a guest of the broadcast of Radio Liberty.
