Dmitry Alekseyevich Glukhovsky was born in Moscow, where he graduated from the V. D. Polenov School with advanced study of the French language. He lived and studied in Israel for four and a half years (at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, majoring in Journalism and International Relations), and worked in Germany and France. He worked as a war correspondent in Israel and Abkhazia, and worked for Radio Rossii, the Deutsche Welle broadcasting company, and the Euronews and Russia Today channels as a correspondent in the Kremlin pool. From 2007 to 2009, he was a radio host on the Mayak station. In 2010, Glukhovsky became one of the columnists for the Infomaniya program on the STS television channel. At the same time, he hosted the talk show Press Club XXI, where various cultural topics were discussed with the participation of journalists and bloggers (the program aired from April 16, 2010, to 2011 on the Kultura channel).

He is currently a columnist for Snob and GQ magazines.

He speaks five languages.

He made his debut as an online writer with the post-apocalyptic novel Metro 2033, whose chapters were regularly posted on the Internet at m-e-t-r-o.ru, thus receiving feedback from the widest possible range of readers. The text of the novel was also posted in several major online libraries and in the author’s LiveJournal blog. The book was conceived while he was still in school, and he began writing it while studying at university (the first version was completed in 2002). Glukhovsky sent the finished manuscript to several publishers, but received rejections from all of them, after which he decided to post it on the Internet — in full and free of charge.

In 2005, the novel, which in its final version was titled Metro 2033, was published by Eksmo, and in 2007 it was republished by Popularnaya Literatura. Glukhovsky is also the author of the online-published collections of short stories Night and Animal Stories, as well as the play INFINITA TR
