As I recall, Stolyarov left RoR because of his views on abortion and this was one of the items that he listed as peripheral to Objectivism, whereas others consider it as central. I think, at the time, he was considering becoming a court reporter.
In my view he is outstanding in several areas. I think that when he first appeared on the scene he had a distinct Russian accent but he has practically no accent at all. He's a gentleman and he shows respect for his audience when he speaks on a serious subject by dressing and grooming impeccably. He always portrayed himself as somewhat formal and does so in the video but it's appropriate. He made a very good assessment of the Objectivist movement.
Luke:
I disagree that visual aids would have made his talk better. I enjoyed watching this talking head.
I wonder who the Objectivist was that encouraged him to make this exceptional video.
