Born to Branislav Malagurski and Slavica Malagurski, Boris grew up in the northern Serbian town of Subotica. In an interview for Literární noviny, Prague's cultural and political journal, Malagurski said that his last name originates from the Polish town of Mała Góra.[4]
Malagurski emigrated to Canada in 2005 and made a documentary film about his move from Serbia called The Canada Project. Excerpts from the film were shown on Serbian National Television, as a part of Mira Adanja-Polak's TV show.[5] Since then, Malagurski identifies himself as Serbian-Canadian.[6] While studying Film Production at the University of British Columbia,[7] Malagurski organized protests in Vancouver against Kosovo's declaration of independence and received help from Canadian journalist Scott Taylor and Irish diplomat Mary Walsh in making his film about Kosovo.[8] Malagurski became a Canadian citizen[9] and remained in Canada until 2011, when he returned to work in Serbia.[10]
In 2010, the newspaperPolitika described Malagurski as the "Serbian Michael Moore",[2] though Malagurski himself had spoken of his use of "Michael Moore post-production techniques", earlier in the same year.[12]
Malagurski co-directed (with Ivana Rajović), The Presumption of Justice in 2012,[17] a documentary dealing with the September 2009 death of Brice Taton, a fan of Toulouse FC, and alleged inconsistencies in the subsequent court case in Serbia. The film had its broadcasting premiere in April 2013 as a part of Malagurski's TV show on Happy TV which also featured an interview with a man who claimed to have witnessed the event, but who had not been called to testify.[18]
Belgrade
Malagurski's next film Belgrade, (also known as Belgrade with Boris Malagurski), a documentary about Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, had its world premiere on 19 October 2013 at Sava Centar in Belgrade[19] and was aired on Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) on 20 October 2014.[20] The film features interviews with several prominent Belgraders, including tennis player Novak Djokovic.
In September 2017, Malagurski released a documentary film about Serbian monasteries in Kosovo called Kosovo: A Moment In Civilization,[27][28] designed to oppose Kosovo's membership in UNESCO.[29] The film was released on September 15, 2017 in Paris, France.[30] The film was condemned by Kosovo's government.[31]
Malagurski made the third part of The Weight of Chains film series which deals with how big business and political interest groups endanger peoples' health and very existence.[34] The film was released in Chicago on September 28, 2019,[35] and features interviews with Jeffrey Sachs, Katrín Jakobsdóttir,[36] Noam Chomsky, Nele Karajlić and Danica Grujičić.[37]
Malagurski directed the feature documentary film that chronicles the history of Serbs who live West of the Drina river, including an interview with Serbian film director Emir Kusturica. The film was financed by the city of Banja Luka and other municipalities in Republika Srpska, as well as by individual donors,[42] and premiered in Banja Luka in October 2022.[43] There were calls for screenings to be cancelled in several European countries.[44][45][46][47]
Television
From 2013 to 2015,[48] Malagurski hosted Revolution, a weekly TV show on Happy TV. The show, featured documentary segments and interviews with state officials, foreign and local experts and ordinary citizens of Serbia.[49][50] During the 2014 Southeast Europe floods, Malagurski reported for Happy TV from several flooded areas in Serbia.[51][52] The show was cancelled in January 2015. Malagurski alleged that Happy TV gave no official reason for the show's cancellation.[53]
From 2015 to 2017, Malagurski worked as the executive producer and host of a TV show, Globalno, on BN TV, which deals with "global topics from a domestic perspective."[54][55]
From May 2017 to December 2018, Malagurski was the editor and host of a clip show for the Sputnik Serbia news agency, and the editor and host of a clip show, ClipaRT with Boris Malagurski, for the Russian state-funded RT Documentary channel, dealing with global issues.[56] From April 2019 to September 2020, Malagurski hosted and edited a clip show, known as the Malagurski Ukratko (transl. Malagurski In Short), for the Slobodna Television channel, dealing with domestic issues.[57][58] From 2020 to 2022,[59] he worked with RT on a clip show titled Big Stories & Beyond with Boris Malagurski.[60]
Malagurski has also appeared on RT, to comment on Balkan topics.[61] In 2020, he was described as "one of Sputnik's YouTube stars popular with young people".[62]
Malagurski is a Eurosceptic, believing that "chasing the EU is like going on a blind date, you don't know what will happen, but you still want to go because you are desperate."[68]
In an interview for Marin Marinković's talk show One On One on Alternativna TV, Malagurski identified as left-leaning[69] and, in an article in Danas, denounced attempts by some to label him as "extremely right-wing", noting that his films were screened on leftist festivals such as the Subversive Festival in Croatia, that worldwide screenings were organized with the help of leftist parties such as the Left-Green Movement in Iceland and that he was compared to Michael Moore and even Karl Marx in the Slovenian Delo newspaper. Malagurski described these attempts as "Balkan self-declared leftists and civic elitists wanting to hold on to their monopoly of views that are allowed in that ideological sphere", adding that "if anyone dares to criticize the European Union as a bureaucratic elite dictatorship in Brussels, NATO as the army of America's corporate interests and the local NGO sector that deals with politics and receives money from abroad as agents of foreign interests, one can only be labelled as a "right-winger" or whatever sounds more gruesome to uninformed audiences."[70]
Malagurski "supports protests as a form of pressure on governments" and that "elections are important, but democracy works only if we create the conditions under which any elected official will have to make decisions".[69] Malagurski believes that "every government makes decisions in favor of the people only when in fear of the public reaction".[71] As a critic of neoliberalism, Malagurski believes that "resistance to neoliberalism is no longer a matter of ideology, but of common sense", and he advocates the inclusion of young people in politics, noting that most people in Serbia who share similar problems are not united and can't recognize their common interest.[72]
Malagurski was interviewed for Amir Zukić's talk show Pressing on N1 in which he expressed his condemnation of United States foreign policy, noting that "what the United States are doing to Muslims is far more deceitful than what the Nazis did to the Jews, because the Americans are telling Muslims that everything they do is for their own good." According to Malagurski, this shows how well developed the Western propaganda machine is, adding that "Joseph Goebbels would be fascinated by what the West has achieved."[73] On the topic of relations between states and peoples in the Southeastern Europe, Malagurski also stated that "people in the Balkans need reconciliation, and to talk about what brings us together".[74]
Malagurski has also expressed views on Croatian politics, adding his support for Ivan Pernar and the populist Human Shield political party[75][76] and Macedonian politics, arguing that "the West has made Macedonia an extremely vulnerable and divided country, and that as such it needs a miracle to survive, unfortunately."[77]
Activism
In October 2011, Malagurski showed his film The Weight of Chains at the Jarinje barricades on the Kosovo-Serbia border,[78] which he said was a show of support for the Serbs fighting for their rights in the disputed province.[79]
In June 2012, Malagurski took part in a protest in front of the Radio Television Serbia building, that called for an end to "organized media darkness" in Serbia and requested the airing of Malagurski's film The Weight of Chains on Serbia's public broadcaster.[80] In front of 200 protesters, Malagurski said that Aleksandar Tijanić, the director of RTS, had told him that despite positive reviews, The Weight of Chains couldn't be aired on RTS because it had already been aired on Happy TV, Malagurski claimed only clips had been shown, which he corroborated with documents from Happy TV.[81] Malagurski also claimed that "Serbia is the only country in the region and in almost all of Europe, where The Weight of Chains has not been shown by the national public broadcaster".[82]
Malagurski has given speeches about Balkan political issues, specifically, on the future status of Kosovo.[83] These include student and public forums at the University of Belgrade and elsewhere.[84][85]
Political Analyst Jasmin Mujanović has described him as one of the commentators who "peddle 'Russian-themed' disinformation", used in Russian state influence campaigns in the Balkans.[86] The Kosovar Centre for Security Studies has described him as one of the "prominent individuals that actively promote and shape far-right extremist narratives against Kosovo".[29]
Controversies
Threats controversy
In September 2012, Malagurski and Ivana Rajović (co-director), filed a criminal investigation request at Belgrade public prosecutor's office against 12 members of an internet message board for alleged "organized threats to their life and personal and professional safety", made on the message board after the premiere of The Presumption of Justice. Three of the 12 were charged and found guilty in March 2014 at the trial court in Belgrade, each was sentenced to a year in prison, suspended for 3 years of probation.[87][88] Malagurski's actions and the court's decisions were criticised by Milica Jovanović,[87] and Dario Hajrić[89] writing in Peščanik, and Jovana Gligorijević, writing in Vreme.[88]
Malagurski replied in responses published by Vreme in March 2014[90] and by NSPM in April 2014.[91] Historian Čedomir Antić criticised Malagurski's accusers in an op-ed in Politika.[92]

Malagurski uses sarcasm and expressive verbal- and body- language throughout. Excerpts from 'Western' media sources are used but Malagurski adopts a clear line of argument in favour of Assad and Russia, explicitly alleging that the Douma attack was staged. Whilst the Syrian opposition and their backers are presented as untrustworthy proponents of 'propaganda' and terrorism, wheras [sic] Assad is framed as a rational, trustworthy actor whose military are 'the real heroes in Syria'.
