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 died, and then facts appeared refuting 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, in late April 1959. The boy’s parents were “regulars” in such institutions, and his mother literally outdid his father in this regard - dad Alexander, in total, served 30 years of his life, and mother - 44 years. And the older sister of the North "did not lag behind" the family - her experience is 22 years. Rimma Severova, Sasha’s mother, was a professional fraud, but for what father received more and more new terms, it 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 their parents' sentences and their crimes. It is not surprising that young Sasha went to jail at the age of 17. The first term he received for the banal theft. Then there were convictions for hooliganism, fights with bodily harm of varying severity, possession and sale of weapons, robbery, drug trafficking and other crimes.
But there were "bright stripes" in the life of Sasha Sever. One of those for him was friendship with the famous chansonnier of Russia Mikhail Krug. They were connected by a love of creativity. Severov even wrote poetry for Michael’s song called Autumn Rain.
Crimes and Punishments
In total, Alexander Severov has 10 convictions, and he spent 30 years of his life behind bars. He received his first criminal record 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 impudence 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 and received his first term. In prisons, he repeatedly unleashed scandals ending in mass fights and showdowns with the dead.
For a long time at large Sasha Sever did not linger. Often the interval between release and detention lasted less than a year. Even his wedding took place "in the zone." The prison literally became the home of Alexander Severov.
Having a rather high status in the criminal world, he did not bother to get 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 for relatives in Tver and bought a luxury car. Money for this came to him quite easily - he engaged in card trickery along with several like-minded people, and even made tattoos on his knuckles specially for this purpose in the form of marking card suits.
The last two terms, Sasha Sever received for carrying weapons and possession of drugs. The fact that he was selling (selling) one of the above, was not proved, in the end he received only conditional terms.
Coronation
The laws of the underworld, Alexander Severov always revered sacredly. Cellmates and representatives of the “ruling elite” could not help but note that he is strict, but fair, scrupulous in respecting the observance of laws, and he does not stay at large for long. It was these facts that became decisive in his coronation.
A significant event took place in a prison for especially dangerous criminals called "Vladimir Central", located in the city of Vladimir. At that time, the North was serving a term for robbery and bodily harm inflicted on the offender of his wife, which was 6 years.
The initiators of the coronation of Alexander were the then-influential representatives of the criminal world - Revaz Tsitsiashvili (Tsitska), Sergey Boytsov (Fighter) and Revaz Bukhnikashvili (Petso). Later, Sasha Sever himself became the "godfather" for one of the thieves in law - Alexander Brixmann (Ogonyok).
Problems with the underworld and the “crown” of the North began when he settled in the Tver region and became the so-called “watchman” in the region. Another thief in law - Kommuniai (Sergey Kommunyaev) claimed this peculiar and very prestigious post. It was he who demanded that Alexander be deprived of the “crown”, and as arguments he pointed out the excessive media of the opponent, embezzlement of the “common fund”, drug addiction and other violations of thieves' laws. At a gathering of influential representatives of criminal communities, it was decided to deprive Sasha of the North from his crown - to cast him out.
