Pribylovsky graduated from the Department of Medieval History of Moscow State University in 1981 specializing in Byzantine studies.
In the 1980s he was persecuted by Soviet authorities for spreading banned literature. Since 1993 he was the president of the Panorama Information and Research Center think tank. From November 2005 he operated the Russian-language website Anticompromat.ru, which is essentially a collection of biographies of Russian politicians compiled and partially written by Pribylovsky from a variety of published sources.
On 31 March, after being shortly closed, the website moved to a Californian hosting and became available at Anticompromat.org.
On 1 April its mirror was reopened at the original URL. Together with Yury Felshtinsky, Pribylovsky co-authored The Operation Successor, a book about Vladimir Putin"s rise to power. Later versions were published as The Age of Assassins and Corporation.
His latest project was providing Russian language documents about corruption in Russia for international project "Kleptocracy Initiative", including documents on registration of cooperative Ozero. Death
