Biography[edit]

Afinogenova was born on January 14, 1989, in the then Dagestan SASS, part of the Russian SFSR (Soviet Union). She graduated in journalism from the M.V. State University. Lomonosov of Moscow.[10][11] Journalism and the Spanish language are her greatest interests. She learned Spanish from a very young age and received classes from an Argentine teacher from the age of 12 to 18.[12] In an interview with Argentine host Beto Casella she said about her Argentine teacher “She instilled in me a love for that country. And then I had the opportunity to go to Argentina in 2008. I went several times, and I spent long periods of time in Buenos Aires.[13]

Afinogenova has worked in various media outlets (from radio in Argentina to television) and worked on the Russian television channel RT en Español, holding various positions in said channel until becoming the deputy director of the website.[14][15]

Previously, she had generated some controversy since on December 1, 2021, in his program Así les va, he commented: "January will arrive, then February and March, 2022 will end and surely in the (Western) media they will continue to read that the invasion is imminent."[16]

On May 3, 2022, she posted a video on her YouTube channel in which she explained that she had left Russia and the RT en Español channel because she does not agree with this war and any other war.[17]

I am not going to agree with a war that affects the civilian population of my country, but neither with one that affects that of countries as distant and unknown as Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Sudan or Palestine. And I don't care if the one dropping bombs is the US, France, Israel, Ukraine on Ukraine itself - which is what it has been doing for years - or Russia.

She also criticized the war, considering it a serious strategic error, because it has meant a great reinforcement of NATO: "No one who is against NATO supports this war, because nothing has strengthened that organization as much as the decision made by the government." Russian, an organization that was in full decline, seemed totally anachronistic.[17][18]

On June 24, 2022, the La Base program of the Spanish newspaper Público presented by Pablo Iglesias announced that it had signed Inna Afigenova for its program where,[6] from Monday to Thursday, she will be in charge of carrying out analysis especially on the international and geopolitical situation, regarding everything related to Latin America, where she has many followers.[19] In addition, every Friday she will broadcast a video on YouTube, where she will analyze current international events, mainly about Latin America.[20] Afigenova resides in Madrid, Spain.[21]

On March 6, 2023 she joined Canal RED, a new Spanish-language television channel that broadcasts online and DTT created by Pablo Iglesias Turrión and financed through crowdfunding.[9]
