[5] Pavlovsky and FEP organized and financed many early websites on the Runet, including Lenta.ru.

From 2005 to 2008, Pavlovsky hosted the weekly television news commentary "Real Politics", which was shown on NTV Russia at 10:00 p.m. on Saturdays.

His first publication (in a university newspaper) was censored by the Politburo because of its alleged "anarchistic and left- extremist mood".

[citation needed] At the age of 21, Pavlovsky and friends organized a political commune "Субъект Исторической Деятельности" (Subject of Historical Action), inspired by the spirit of the protests of 1968 and ideals of intellectual Marxism (at the time, he described himself as a "Zen Marxist"[6]).

[6] As the 1970s went on, Pavlovsky cemented his place in Moscow's dissident movement and began publishing an underground newspaper entitled "Poiski", all while avoiding KGB interference.
