John Bosnitch (1961) is a Serbian Canadian journalist.[1], who came to world attention during a U.S. witch hunt against Chess grandmaster Bobby Fischer for playing Boris Spassky in Yugoslavia in 1992 at a time when the country was embargoed [2]. John Bosnitch was born on 15 February 1961 in Fredericton to Margaret and Sava Bosnitch (1923-2011). As a student activist at the University of New Brunswick, he was targeted by the authorities, investigated, incriminated, and maligned, though never charged[3]. Upon graduation, he worked as an independent journalist in the United States, Japan, and the former Yugoslavia, where he covered the Yugoslav Wars[4]. While in the U.S., he headed the Washington chapter of the Serbian Unity Congress[5]. Currently, he lives and works in Belgrade where he founded the Jasenovac Memorial Center. Bosnitch is a member of the Jasenovac Research Institute, headed by Barry Lituchy, in New York City and regularly comments on Russia Today TV and Sputnik[6]
