To describe the biography of Alexander Severov, the saying "An apple falls not far from an apple tree" is perfect. His whole life is closely connected with places where they are serving sentences for crimes, and there are always many scandals, mysteries and rumors around his name.
Sasha Sever (Alexander Severov) is one of the most famous thieves in law in the post-Soviet space. Born in prison, repeated the fate of his parents, was crowned, and then decided his prestigious "title" in the underworld - it's all about him. Several times the media wrote that he had died, and then facts appeared to refute this information. Where is Sasha Sever now, and is he alive?
Biography
The future thief in law was born in one of the colonies of the Kazakh town of Zhartas, near Karaganda, at the end of April 1959. The boy's parents were "regulars" of such institutions, and his mother literally outdid his father in this respect - Alexander's father, in total, served 30 years of his life, and his mother - 44 years. And the elder sister of the North "did not lag behind" the family - her experience is 22 years. Rimma Severova, Sasha's mother, was a professional fraudster, but why his father received more and more terms is unknown.
For Alexander, this type of family was the norm. Next to him in the boarding school were children with similar fates, who boasted about the terms of their parents and their crimes. It is not surprising that young Sasha ended up in prison at the age of 17. He received his first term for a banal theft. Then there were convictions for hooliganism, fights with bodily harm of various severity, possession and sale of weapons, robbery, drug distribution and other crimes.
But there were also "bright stripes" in the life of Sasha Sever. One of those for him was his friendship with the famous Russian singer Mikhail Krug. They were bound by a love of creativity. Severov even wrote poetry to Mikhail's song entitled "Autumn Rain".
Crime and punishment
In total, Alexander Severov has 10 convictions, and he spent 30 years of his life behind bars. He received his first conviction back in 1976, when he was a pupil of a boarding school for children of prisoners, for theft. The term was short - only 2 years. His next crimes were much more serious.
Even during his life in a boarding school, the guy showed character - for his insolence and a tendency to conflicts, fights, he was transferred from one educational institution to another, as a result he ended up in a boarding school for difficult teenagers. He did not change even after receiving his first term. In prisons, he more than once unleashed scandals that ended in massive fights and showdowns with the dead.
Sasha Sever did not stay long at large. Often the interval between release and detention lasted less than a year. Even his wedding took place "on the zone". The prison literally became a home for Alexander Severov.
Having a rather high status in the underworld, he did not bother to acquire decent housing for his family at large - for many years his wife and three children lived in a cramped "odnushka". Only many years later, he built a mansion in Tver for his loved ones and bought a luxurious car. The money for this was given to him quite easily - he took up card cheating together with several like-minded people, and even made specially for this tattoos on his knuckles in the form of marking card suits.
Sasha Sever received the last two terms for carrying weapons and possessing drugs. The fact that he was selling (was selling) one of the above was not proven, in the end he received only suspended sentences.
Coronation
Alexander Severov has always respected the laws of the underworld sacredly. Cellmates and representatives of the "ruling elite" could not fail to note that he is strict, but fair, scrupulous about the observance of laws, and he does not stay at large for a long time. It was these facts that became decisive in his coronation.
A significant event took place in a prison for especially dangerous criminals called "Vladimirsky Central", located in the city of Vladimir. At that time, Sever was serving a term for robbery and bodily harm caused to the abuser of his wife, who was 6 years old.
The coronation of Alexander was initiated by the influential representatives of the underworld at that time - Revaz Tsitsiashvili (Tsitska), Sergei Boytsov (Fighter) and Revaz Bukhnikashvili (Petso). Later, Sasha Sever himself became the "godfather" for one of the thieves in law - Alexander Briksmann (Ogonyok).
Problems with the underworld and the "crown" in the North began when he settled in the Tver region and became the so-called "overseer" in the region. Another thief in law, Kommuniai (Sergei Kommunyaev), claimed this unique and very prestigious post. It was he who demanded to deprive Alexander of the "crown", and as arguments pointed to the excessive media presence of the opponent, waste of the "common fund", drug addiction and other violations of thieves' laws. At the gathering of influential representatives of criminal communities, it was decided to deprive Sasha of the North of the crown - to burrow.
Personal life
Alexander Severov is married and has three children. Surprisingly, a girl from a good family became his wife. She adopted his eldest son from a casual relationship, as her own, and then bore him two common children - a boy and a girl. Galina dreamed of a magnificent wedding, but the wedding ceremony took place in prison, where the newly-made husband was serving time.
The children of Sasha Sever repeated his fate - each of them has at least one conviction. Despite the deprivation of the "crown", Alexander managed to maintain his authority in certain circles. His residence in the Tver region resembles the residence of the legendary Don Corleone - there are always many supplicants, and rarely anyone is denied help there.
