According to the summary it's Ilya Budraitskis. I'm not familiar with the name, but a quick search shows that he writes regularly for OpenDemocracy affiliated projects. To be completely honest I'm not surprised an outlet like DemocracyNow has someone like that on.

Honorary westolefto, he constantly uses terms like "antiauthoritarianism", "stalinism" and "third position" with all seriousness.

Imagine writing shit like this about the Yeltsin putsch and bragging it ffs:

At the same time, some anarchists and socialists decided to take a third position, equally critical of both sides of the conflict, and created a medical brigade that provided first aid to the wounded.

Ilya Budraitskis

Well, he's known trotskist with 20+ years in politics. Actually, i've met him in personal a few times over the years. The first time was back in 2002 on some united left demonstration. I wanted to make friends with one charming girl who somehow was member of his trot wankers organisation so together with my friend we've reached their stand at demo. There we've meet Ilya who tried to convince us to join his bunch of loosers (as far as i remember it was Socialist Resistance, Russian section of CWI). Sadly for him we were too fueled with beer and Soviet revanchism so we started to mock him with stupid pubertat jokes like offering the donation of icepick.
