Legends are made up about the life of Russian oligarchs. They live in such luxury that the Arab sheikhs cannot afford. Alexei Mikhailovich Fedorychev does not even try to refute various rumors and conjectures.
Starting conditions
Big business requires participants to have a broad outlook, scale thinking and physical preparation. Alexei Mikhailovich Fedorychev was born on August 3, 1955 in an ordinary Soviet family. Parents lived in the suburban town of Krasnogorsk. My father worked at the famous factory for the production of optical devices. He was an enthusiastic fan for the "Sharp" hockey team. A child from an early age was fond of sports and, first of all, the game of football and hockey.
At school, Alex studied mediocre. It was not that the mind was lacking, it was just that education did not interest him much. The teenager was intensively engaged in training and already in high school he was "put" on the bench in the team of masters of Krasnogorsk "Zorkiy". After the tenth grade, Fedorychev was drafted into the army. They determined to serve in the sports company of the famous Dzerzhinsky division. He was even invited to the backup team of the Dynamo football club. After the service, I tried to make a sports career, but "the card went wrong."
Business on trust
In the official biography, Fedorychev does not indicate the facts of the criminal past. In the early 80s, private business in the Soviet Union was strictly prohibited. An inexperienced businessman tried to speculate and got a term. During the period spent in the zone, he found out how the bigwigs of the shadow business live and in what ways earn "crazy money". After the release, it was not possible to find a suitable occupation, monetary and uncomplicated. And on the advice of one of the criminal authorities, Alexei emigrated to France.
In the mid-90s, Fedorychev became the founder of the intermediary company Fedkom. The business was built according to the simplest scheme - mineral fertilizers were purchased from Russian enterprises and sold to European and Asian countries. In fact, it was a classic speculation, only on a global scale. Mr. Fedorychev in a short time became a wealthy man. The authoritative magazine Forbes placed his name among the richest Russian entrepreneurs.
