Who is Julia Ioffe?

Born on 18 October 1982 in Moscow, Russia, Julia Ioffe moved to the United States at age seven in 1990. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in History, specializing in Soviet History, from Princeton University in 2005.

Then, in June 2005, Ioffe kicked off her career as a fact-checker for The New Yorker, where she worked for two years. She also worked as an editor for a web startup, Big Think, before serving as a researcher at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism's Knight Foundation Case Studies Initiative for a year. 

She then worked as a Moscow correspondent for Foreign Policy and The New Yorker for over two years. From 2012 through 2014, she worked as a senior editor for The New Republic. She then served as a contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine, Huffington Post Highline, and Politico for two years before joining The Atlantic as a staff writer in 2016.
