    Turchin’s father was Valentin Turchin who was a fairly famous Soviet cyberntician who left the USSR after defending Sakharov, because he didn’t want his science career to plummet in the same way. His life story is literally based in elite over reproduction.

    Turchin was at the University of Moscow before his family left the USSR.
