Alexander Borisovich Kerdan - writer and poet, author of many literary works, member of the Union of Writers of the USSR, laureate of the Great Literary Prize of Russia. He became famous thanks to his literary talent. His works are permeated with a sense of patriotism, love for the motherland and its history and culture.
Biography
Alexander Borisovich Kerdan hails from the Urals. There, on January 11, 1957, the future Russian poet and prose writer was born in the small town of Korkino, located in the Chelyabinsk Region, who currently occupies not the last place among representatives of Russian literature and journalism. In his interviews with reporters, Alexander Borisovich practically does not mention childhood. He does not disclose personal information, so his readers should only guess what led the future famous author to literature. It is known that the boy’s family was far from creative, and living in a small mining town far from the capital could not contribute to the development of his literary talent.
The boy began to write small poems and opuses at school, where he was the permanent leader of the school newspaper. The first works of the future famous writer were written in the satire genre, as they ridiculed truants and losers. However, at school no one paid attention to the boy and his poems. Even Alexander himself did not see anything remarkable in this; he did not connect his life with the literary field. However, fate decreed otherwise.
Education
Alexander Borisovich was not going to study literature, but chose a military career. In 1978, he graduated from the Kurgan Higher Military-Political Aviation School with a gold medal and a diploma with honors. Studying was easy for him, because the young man had a great deal of knowledge. In 1990, he graduated from the pedagogical faculty of the military academy, and then from the post-graduate course at Moscow Military University. But the military career did not cancel his literary talent. In the service, he went from a political worker to a military journalist. Alexander Kerdan wrote for military magazines of the Ministry of Defense: "Landmark", "Warrior of Russia". His writing talent was recognized already at that time. But Kerdan had not thought about the great literary works.
The desire to continue his education and realize himself in other areas gave Alexander the opportunity to get a Ph.D. in Philosophy, and then a Doctor of Cultural Studies degree.
