Anna Khachiyan
Anna Leonidovna Khachiyan (Russian: Анна Леонидовна Хачиян; born August 23, 1985) is an American cultural critic, writer, and co-host of the Red Scare podcast with Dasha Nekrasova, based out of New York City.
Khachiyan was born in Moscow, Soviet Union, on August 23, 1985. In 1990, she immigrated to the United States with her parents and was raised in New Jersey. Her father is the Soviet mathematician and Rutgers University professor Leonid Khachiyan and her mother is Olga Pischikova Reynberg. She is of Armenian, Russian and Ashkenazi Jewish descent.
Khachiyan graduated from South Brunswick High School in 2003. She received the Patrick J. Quigley memorial scholarship from Rutgers University in 2006, studying economics and art history and graduating with honors. She completed a master's degree in art history at New York University, going on to pursue a PhD in Soviet architecture, before dropping out.
Before Red Scare, Khachiyan worked odd jobs as a restaurant hostess, illustrator and actress.
On March 29, 2018, Khachiyan started the cultural commentary podcast Red Scare, with co-host and actress Dasha Nekrasova. The show was initially associated with the dirtbag left. However, in recent years, Khachiyan has been identified more with the new right as well as the subculture surrounding Dimes Square. 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 influenced by historian Christopher Lasch, social critic Camille Paglia, and Michel Houellebecq. She has described herself as "an old-school moralist in the style of Camille Paglia".
In 2018, Khachiyan described Kanye West as "an artist who understands on an intuitive level that there's a difference between playing with aesthetic symbols and ascribing a moral weight to those symbols". She said that right-wing figures like Stephen Bannon, Roger Stone, Ann Coulter and Candace Owens are more "interesting" than those coming from the left, and that these right-wing female figures, though not feminists, "are definitely self-determined women, as disgusting as their politics may be".
Khachiyan has been interviewed by Eric Weinstein and by Bret Easton Ellis on their respective podcasts. She has also appeared on i24NEWS to discuss Russian-born convicted fraudster Anna Delvey, and as a speaker as part of Art Toronto's PLATFORM Speak Series.
