Early life and education

Applebaum obtained a Bachelor of Arts, summa cum lauded, from Yale University, where she took the Soviet history course taught by Wolfgang Leonhard in fall 1982.
Applebaum spent the summer of 1985 in Leningrad, Soviet Union (now Saint Petersburg, Russia), which, she has said, influenced her views. She was also elected to Phi Beta Kappa. She earned a master's degree in international affairs (1987) as a Marshall Scholar at the London School of Economics. She studied at St Antony's College, Oxford, before being a correspondent for The Economist and then heading to Warsaw, Poland, 1988.
Personal life
Applebaum married Radosaw Sikorski in 1992, who later served as Poland's Defence Minister, Foreign Minister, and Marshal of the Sejm. He is a member of the European Parliament. Aleksander and Tadeusz are the couple's two sons. In 2013, she became a Polish citizen. In addition to English, she speaks Polish and Russian.

She covered the Berlin Wall's fall and communism's fall. She was foreign correspondent for The Economist and The Independent. She returned to England in 1991 to work for The Economist, later as the Foreign and Later Deputy Editor of The Spectator and later as the Evening Standard's Political Editor.
Between East and West, a travelogue that portrayed the rise of nationalism in the former Soviet Union's new states, was published in 1994. She conducted a major interview with Prime Minister Tony Blair in 2001. She also did historical research for her book Gulag: A History (2003), which received the Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction in 2004. It was also nominated for a National Book Award for the Los Angeles Times book award and the National Book Critics Circle Award.
Applebaum lived in Washington and was a member of The Washington Post editorial board from 2001 to 2005. She wrote about a variety of topics affecting the United States' policy concerns, including healthcare, social care, and education. She also wrote a column for The Washington Post for seventeen years. Applebaum served as an adjunct fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank. Applebaum, a George Herbert Walker Bush/Axel Springer Fellow at the American Academy in Berlin, Germany, in 2005, returned to Europe.
Iron Curtain: The Crushing of Eastern Europe 1944-56 was published in 2012 by Doubleday in the United States and Allen Lane in the United Kingdom; it was nominated for the 2013 PEN/John Kenneth Galbraith Award.
Transitions Forum, an international think tank and educational charity based in London, was created and operated by Janet from 2011 to 2016. She managed a two-year research into the link between democracy and growth in Brazil, India, and South Africa, as well as the Future of Syria and Future of Iran initiatives on future institutional change in those two countries, as well as a collection of studies on corruption in Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine.
She founded Democracy Lab, a website that has focused on countries in transition to, or away from, democracy, which has since evolved to Democracy Post at The Washington Post. Beyond Propaganda, a program that examines 21st-century propaganda and disinformation, was also conducted by her. The program, which began in 2014, planned later discussions about "fake news." Following the appointment of Euroskeptic Philippa Stroud as CEO and a Professor of Practice at the London School of Economics in 2016, she departed Legatum due to the institution's stance on Brexit. She was the head of Arena, a disinformation and 21st century propaganda campaign at LSE. In the fall of 2019, she transferred the program to Johns Hopkins University's Agora Institute.
Red Famine: Stalin's War on Ukraine, a history of the Holodomor, was published in October 2017. For the second time, the book was a finalist in the Lionel Gelber Prize and the Duff Cooper Prize, making her the first author to win the award twice.

Twilight of Democracy, July 2020: The Seductive Lure of Authoritarianism was published in July. It was both a memoir and a partial political review.
Applebaum, one of the 153 signers of the "Harper's Letter" (also known as "A Letter on Justice and Open Debate) in July 2020, was concerned that "the free exchange of information and ideas, the lifeblood of a liberal society, is getting more restricted."
