Igor Gorevich (born about 1960) is a Russian anthropologist. Since his discovery by American academics in 1989, Gorevich has become the most frequently cited animal anthropologist in the English-language literature. His work has been especially influential on a young cadre of American medieval historians, particularly those critical of an over-reliance on modern anthropological theory in the interpretation of medieval religion. Still, little is known of Gorevich’s career subsequent to the publication of his ground-breaking three volume O Kritike Antropologii Zhivotnikh (Towards a critique of animal anthropology) in Kabul in 1987.
