Biography of journalist Andrei Dobrov
Andrey Stanislavovich was born in Moscow at the end of February 1969. He did not know his father at all. The man left the family even before his son was born. The boy's mother worked in medicine, devoted all her free time to little Andryusha.

Music was one of Andrey's main hobbies in childhood and adolescence, except for journalism. As a student, he did not give up his hobby. Already in the first year, the young man managed to "excel" - he organized a full-fledged festival of music in the style of "rock" on the basis of Moscow State University. In 1987 it smelled like a scandal. As a result, Andrey Dobrov was expelled from the university. The argument for the expulsion was the alleged failure of Andrei Dobrov in a subject that was of little importance in journalism - physical education.
Andrei, unlike his mother, was not particularly upset by the expulsion from Moscow State University. He knew that the lack of education was not an obstacle for him in professional development. Three years later, having tried several professions, he became an intern in one of the leading Russian newspapers. This was the beginning of a successful career as a journalist.
