Anton Troianovski became a global affairs correspondent for The New York Times in Washington in November 2025 after spending 12 years as a foreign correspondent. He had served as the Times’s Moscow bureau chief starting in 2021, and relocated to Berlin in 2022 because of the risks to reporters inside Russia. He and his colleagues were honored with the Pulitzer Prize, the George Polk Award, and the Overseas Press Club award for the Times’s coverage of Ukraine and Russia.
Before joining the Times, Troianovski was Moscow bureau chief for The Washington Post starting in 2018. He started his career in 2008 as a reporter for The Wall Street Journal in New York. He wrote about commercial real estate and then telecommunications until 2013, when he moved to Berlin to cover Germany for the Journal. He was born in Moscow and grew up in Heidelberg, Germany, and St. Louis. He holds a degree in social studies from Harvard University.
