The original writer Alexei Ivanov is the creator of the multifaceted and unique images of the Urals and Siberians. The traveler, screenwriter and historian is also him. Perhaps in his still small years in the biography new milestones and events will appear
Alexey was born in 1969 in Nizhny Novgorod, in a family of shipbuilding engineers. Almost immediately after the birth of their son, the Ivanovs moved to Perm, where they also worked at a shipyard.
Alexey’s school years passed in Perm, and even then he decided to become a writer. However, he considered this profession so far inaccessible to himself, so after school he decided to go to study as a journalist.
In 1989, he entered the Ural State University at the Faculty of Journalism, and a year later dropped out of school. Alex realized that he had chosen the wrong direction of education. And again she enters the same university, only at the faculty of art history. During this period, his fascination with local history begins.
Ivanov was once asked to fill out material for the newspaper Ural Pathfinder, and he became interested in the history of Ural culture. Later in the same newspaper his fantastic novels were published.
Literary biography
The first works of Ivanov invariably gathered dust on the table, however, 2003 brought the event that was desirable for any writer - his novel “Heart of Parma” was printed. It contains the motives of the Uralian life, woven into a fictional artistic plot. The reaction of literary scholars to this novel was mixed, and the readers liked it.
In 2010, there was a conflict due to which Ivanov left Perm to Yekaterinburg. He did not accept the so-called "cultural revolution", which was carried out by the regional administration at that time, and openly declared this. He believed that the top of the region is spending money on dubious values, which is "smacks of" corruption. As a result, the prosecutor's office became interested in these cultural projects.
