fwiw i know a lot of russian american jews and they all tend to be more right-wing than other groups. primarily ime bc of lingering hatred for communism (and generally if they came here it's because they were optimistic about capitalism). they also tend to be a highly educated (primarily STEM ime) group. there should be no surprise that

Maymin's family immigrated from communist Russia to America when he was five years old.[1] Maymin graduated from Harvard University in 1997 where he earned a B.A. in computer science and an M.S. in applied mathematics in 3 and a half years.
In December, 2007, he graduated with a PhD in Finance from the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business. His dissertation was entitled Self-Imposed Limits to Arbitrage.

Everything after "How's he doing?" should have an asterisk, all leading to the footnote: citation needed.

I'd like to know in what sense he is "a journalist and an author". The internet has blurred the qualifications for these occupations so thoroughly that such a claim no longer has much meaning without giving specifics.

― A is for (Aimless), Thursday, 18 January 2018 00:39 (eight years ago)

he posts on ilm

― Mordy, Thursday, 18 January 2018 00:42 (eight years ago)

Nice that he name checks his Harvard and U. of Chicago degrees, but when it comes to his current "academic" employment, the location remains conspicuously nameless.
