The newest history of our country is replete with plots that are not often found in crime novels. When the Soviet Union was scrapped and the division of public property began, a wave of bloody crimes swept across the country. Few have survived the battle for the right to be effective property owners. But fate saved some of the active participants. Moreover, these people, being in prison, remind of themselves. One of these is Alexey Sherstobitov, the author of several books.
Family traditions
Parents in full-fledged families often serve as role models for their children. The biography of Alexei Sherstobitov could have developed according to the standard scheme. The child was born on January 31, 1967 in Moscow. On the paternal side, ancestors up to the seventh generation served in the armed forces of Russia. The boy was raised from an early age as a future soldier. Alexey studied well at school. I got along with my classmates. He did not differ in aggressiveness. He was engaged in general physical training. Attended the bullet shooting section.
Having received a certificate of maturity, he decided to get a higher education at the school of the railway troops. The curriculum included sections on the manufacture of explosives, conspiracy and the organization of surveillance of the object. Alexei liked his studies, he was always listed as a leader in basic subjects. Moreover, in practical training, he managed to detain and neutralize a dangerous criminal. Cadet Sherstobitov was awarded the Order For Personal Courage. As a result of the distribution, the young lieutenant ended up serving in the special transportation department on the Moscow railway.
By the beginning of 1992, the army structures began to disband, and Alexei's military career ended. Finding a job in civilian life was not so easy. After a short period of time, he struck up an acquaintance with partners in fitness classes. Sherstobitov received an offer to protect businessmen who were organizing trade in stalls. More serious assignments followed.
Lesha-Soldier
In the early 90s, organized crime groups sprang up like mushrooms in the metropolitan area. "Solntsevskaya", "Lyubertsy", "Orekhovskaya" and other gangs divided the territory of the capital into spheres of their influence. It so happened that Alexei Sherstobitov "made friends" with the leaders of the notorious Orekhovskaya organized criminal group. When he was asked to kill a specific person, he calmly agreed. About how the members of the criminal group live, Sherstobitov will write later. And at that moment he himself got used to the role of a tough guy, while not forgetting about conspiracy and caution. Among his own people, he was called Lesha the Soldier.
But no matter how many strings twist, the end will come. When state structures were formed and strengthened, organized crime, as they say, was pinned to the nail. The killer Sherstobitov did not escape arrest. The court proved his direct participation in twelve murders. The verdict is 23 years in prison. In conclusion, Alexei woke up love and talent for writing. He has already written more than a dozen novels, the plots for which are taken from real life. Books are in demand among readers.
Sherstobitov's personal life failed. He married twice, and each time not for long. Each wife left one child. Being in a correctional colony, he got married for the third time. Husband and wife got married in a closed area. The wife positions herself as a psychologist. She comes from St. Petersburg.
