Lev Markovich Shlosberg (Russian: Лев Ма́ркович Шло́сберг; born 30 July 1963) is a Russian politician, human rights activist, journalist, historian^[1] chairman of the Pskov Oblast branch of Yabloko, and a member of its federal political committee.^[2][3]

Shlosberg is of Ashkenazi Jewish descent. He joined Yabloko in 1994, becoming head of the Pskov branch of the party in 1996. From 2011 to 2015 he was a member of the Pskov Oblast Assembly of Deputies.

He has gained fame in August 2014 when he made a publication for the newspaper «Pskovskaya guberniya», where he spread information about the suspicious deaths of troops of 76th Guards Air Assault Division, Leonid Kichatkin and Alexander Osipov.^[4] Shlosberg claimed they died fighting in the Donbass.

In 2015, Shlosberg was deprived of authority by a court and by vote of fellow deputies. Shlosberg claims this was politically motivated.^[5][6] That year, he ran for the post of chairman of the democratic party Yabloko. He was defeated by Emilia Slabunova in the second round.^[7]

On 4 July 2016 he announced he was running for Parliament, in that year's State Duma Election, but lost the election in his constituency, coming in fifth with around 6% of the vote.^[8][9] Nonetheless, that same election, Yabloko won one seat in the Pskov Oblast Assembly of Deputies, and Shlosberg returned to the legislature.^[10][11]

In 2021, Shlosberg decided to run in the 2021 State Duma Elections, again as a candidate of Yabloko. However this time he is running in the Khovrino constituencyinMoscow, instead of his home district of Pskov.^[12]

He also ran in the simultaneous Pskov Oblast Assembly elections. On 3 August 2021 his registration as a candidate was declined, due to alleged links with banned Anti-Corruption Foundation. However, on the next day he was registered, due to the fact that the court decision to ban Anti-Corruption Foundation was not yet final.

Regarding State Duma elections, however, on 9 August 2021 Moscow city court annulled his registration as a candidate, also due to alleged links with Anti-Corruption Foundation. Then he was also excluded from the federal Yabloko party list.^[13]

In April 2022, following the increased repression after the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russian police filed charges against him and his wife for having "discredited" the Russian military.^[14]
