Vladimir Vladimirovich Posner (also spelled Pozner; (ロシア語:Влади́мир Влади́мирович По́знер); born 1 April 1934) is a Russian/French/American〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Cleveland Clinic Foundation )〕 best known in the West for appearing on television to represent and explain the views of the Soviet Union during the Cold War.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Russian Archives )〕 He was memorable as a spokesman for the Soviets in part because he grew up in the United States and speaks flawless American English with a New York accent. ==Early life and education== Vladimir Pozner was born on April 1, 1934, in Paris to a Russian Jewish father, Vladimir Aleksandrovich Pozner, and a French Catholic mother, Géraldine Lutten. The couple separated shortly after his birth. When Vladimir was 3 months old he and his mother moved to New York City, where Géraldine's mother and younger sister lived. In the spring of 1939 Pozner's parents reunited and the family returned to Paris, France. After the outbreak of World War II and the invasion of France the Pozners fled Paris in the fall of 1940, traveling via Marseilles in the Free Zone, Madrid, Barcelona, and Lisbon, before sailing back to America. The escape was partially financed by a Jewish family whose adult daughter traveled with the Pozners disguised as Vladimir's nanny. Back in New York Vladimir attended Caroline Pratt's City and Country School and later Stuyvesant High School in Manhattan. Robert Hollander, an elementary school friend of Pozner, remembered him most vividly for "his capacities for, one, having extraordinarily attractive fantasies and, two, for getting the rest of us to believe them." In 1946, with the advent of what later came to be called McCarthyism, Pozner senior began to have serious problems with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, because of his pro-Soviet views and correctly suspected cooperation with the Soviet intelligence services. The documents that conclusively proved the secret service connections of his father were published in 1996 in the US.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Details of V. Aleksandrovich Pozner ("PLATON") and his U.S.A. contacts )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Sizing up of possible new recruits )〕 As a result, the Pozners intended to return to France, but Pozner senior was refused a French visa after being denounced to the French Foreign Ministry as a "subversive element" and a spy. So the Pozners moved in 1948 to the Soviet sector of Berlin where Pozner senior was offered a position with SovExportFilm, an international distributor of Soviet films. At some point Pozner junior claimed to have stayed behind in New York, attending Columbia College between 1950 and December 1953; however, there appears to be no record of him at Columbia;〔 currently he tells of attending a Russian military-style high school in Berlin run by the Soviet Military Administration during that time. Later, in 1952, the family moved to Moscow. In 1953 the younger Pozner enrolled at Moscow State University, Faculty of Biology and Soil Science, majoring in human physiology. He graduated in 1958. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vladimir Posner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
