Valery Kogan

The imposing American political scientist Ariel Cohen regularly appears on Russian television and radio broadcasts. Cohen's statements are mild anti-Russian rhetoric. In them, Cohen is extremely diplomatic, carefully maneuvering between rocks and pitfalls in heated debates with fellow political scientists, politicians and experts. The American speaks Russian. And not surprising, because Ariel was born in the Soviet Union.

Ariel Cohen was born on April 3, 1959 in the city of Yalta, the Crimean region of the Ukrainian SSR. Ariel's real surname is Kogan, and his name is Valery. He graduated from school in Yalta. In 1976 the family moved to Saratov, then emigrated to Israel. Upon reaching draft age, Ariel joined the ranks of the Israeli army. After serving, he entered the University of Bar-Ilan. Graduated in 1986 with a Bachelor of Laws degree.

In 1987, Ariel Cohen moved to the United States, where he continued his studies. In 1989 he received his master's degree and in 1993 he received his JD from the University of Taft. In Israel, before leaving for America, Ariel worked as a journalist. After graduating from the United States, he was an advisor to the Agency for International Development of America, a consultant to the Senate. He worked for Radio Liberty.

Cohen delivers expert talks to the US Congress. Passion for researching the economics and finance of Russia and the post-Soviet space came to Ariel in the 90s. Cohen writes articles for The Washington Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post and others. Sits on the editorial board of Central Asia and the Caucasus. Since 1992 he has been working at the Davis International Center. Ariel Cohen is an expert at the Atlantic Council.

The political scientist is not afraid to criticize the current US government. Cohen openly states that US President Donald Trump does not have the qualifications to hold any public office.

The main topic that worries Ariel Cohen, as a person dealing with issues of external and internal security, is Donald Trump's attitude to the functions of NATO. Cohen is concerned that the American president has repeatedly stated that he is not ready to come to the aid of NATO members in the event of external aggression due to the unequal contribution of members to the budget of the Atlantic Union.

Cohen expresses national concerns in his articles. "Trump has an amazing ability to offend people, especially - representatives of different nationalities and religions," - writes the political scientist. And another burning topic, considered by Ariel, is the raised head nativism (nationalism of those born in the USA). Trump, according to the author of the articles, is turning against the United States the Hispanic population, which numbers 1.7 billion people.

The expert's articles and interviews concern not only the domestic and foreign policy of the States, but also other countries. Often reviews concern Russia. In his statements, Ariel is extremely accurate and correct. Always smiling in an American way, an expert can win over any opponent, even an aggressive one. He is known as a Russophobe on Russian television. In TV programs, Ariela is portrayed as rivals in discussions of the most sophisticated political scientists.

In articles about Russian politics and propaganda, Cohen scolds Alexander Prokhanov, Alexander Dugin, Maxim Shevchenko and other "anti-Western chauvinists." However, Cohen emphasizes that people in America have a great attitude towards Russia and its inhabitants. Vladimir Putin's ratings among Americans went down.

Often in his articles, Cohen touches on the issue of Ukraine. The author calls the transition of Crimea to Russia an annexation. But at the same time, he is skeptical about the return of the peninsula to Ukraine. On the issue of the war in eastern Ukraine, the political scientist's statements are more categorical. Cohen considers Russia's indirect involvement in the conflict indisputable. The aim of the Russian Federation is to destabilize the political and economic situation in Ukraine.

The author of the articles believes that Vladimir Putin is pursuing a policy of "intervention through destabilization" in the Donbas. Such a policy, the author believes, is cheaper than a full-scale military operation, but it will allow strategically keeping Kiev from integrating with Europe. Popular among readers are articles by Ariel Cohen "Consequences of the Russian veto at the UN", "New geopolitical game: Iran in exchange for Ukraine", "The victory that divided the United States and Russia", "Ukraine: the escalation of resentment."

Ariel Cohen's personal life does not flaunt. The public interested in his biography is unlikely to find a photo of an expert with his family and children on the networks.

Cohen only says about himself that he loves science fiction and classical music. He prefers active rest - he is engaged in windsurfing and sailing.

Ariel Cohen is now head of the Center for Energy, Natural Resources and Geopolitics at the Institute for Global Security Analysis. Member of the Council of the London International Institute for Strategic Studies and the Association for Slavic Studies.

Recently, on the program "Duel", Vladimir Solovyov had a dispute between Ariel Cohen and State Duma deputy, President of the Politics Foundation Vyacheslav Nikonov. The topic of discussion was once again the relationship between Russia and the United States. Cohen said that today, relations between Russia and America are at the bottom. But this is not the US's fault. The fault lies in the inability to calculate the consequences of the steps that were taken by Russia in Crimea, Ukraine, and Syria.

Russia and America must look for a way out of this situation, otherwise future generations will not forgive them. In response to Vyacheslav Nikonov's attack on the fact that Russia is the main adversary for the United States, Ariel Cohen said that the United States sees the main potential enemy in China, and not in Russia. This is due to the growing economic power of the Celestial Empire. China has colossal human resources and technological advances. Russia, according to the American political scientist, cannot boast of such successes.
