Interest in the history of their people intensifies during the period of social cataclysms. The writer Alexander Asov is engaged in the study of Slavic mythology. He does his best to preserve the heritage of his ancestors for future generations.
Childhood and youth
For professional historians and writers who write works about the affairs of bygone days, "Velesova Kniga" is still a subject of controversy and scandals. Alexander Asov became interested in the history of the ancient Slavs in the late 80s. By that time, the censorship framework had expanded significantly and journalists were free to conduct their research. To predict the future of your people, you need to assess the causes of events that took place in the distant past. Alexander thoroughly took up translations of ancient texts that survived until the middle of the 20th century.
The future researcher of ancient texts was born on June 29, 1964 in an ordinary Soviet family. At that time, the parents lived in the village of Sokolskoye, Ivanovo region. My father worked as a technologist at a brick factory. Mother worked as a kindergarten teacher. The boy learned to read early and began to show interest in historical works. A few years later, the head of the family was transferred to the famous town of Gorokhovets in the Vladimir region. Here Alexander graduated from high school and decided to get higher education at the physics department of Moscow State University.
Literary activity
After receiving his diploma, Asov entered graduate school and graduated in 1991. Alexander was engaged in research at the Institute of Physics of Sea and Land Water. By this time, cardinal changes had taken place in the country, and the young scientist did not find classes in his specialty. Having a solid theoretical background, Asov got a job as a literary employee in the editorial office of the journal "Science and Religion". As part of his official duties, he was systematically engaged in the translation of the Veles book into modern Russian. On the pages of the journal I published articles and comments on this topic.
For Asov, his career as a researcher was quite successful. The first edition of the book caused a furor among specialists involved in historical topics. Both praiseworthy speeches and harsh criticism were addressed to the author. The next book was called "Songs of the bird Gamayun". Once again, she found herself at the center of discussion and controversy. The popular Russian satirist Mikhail Zadornov became interested in the author's works. Famous traveler and explorer Vitaly Sundakov visits Asov.
Recognition and privacy
The work of Alexander Asov evokes an ambiguous reaction from curious readers and specialists. In any case, the author's contribution to the development of interest in the history of the Fatherland is assessed positively.
Alexander's personal life turned out well. The writer is legally married. The husband and wife raised and raised a son, who was named Yaroslav. He helps his father in the design of manuscripts and the creation of thematic sites.
