According to some experts, the book in its classic form will soon disappear from use. The likelihood of such a turn of events is present. However, people will read fascinating texts on electronic devices. Alexander Molchanov is a successful writer and confident in his future.
Starting conditions
Sasha Molchanov was born on March 7, 1974 in an ordinary Soviet family. All the ancestors of Alexander Vladimirovich up to the seventh generation lived in the territory of the Vologda Oblast. In a village called Syamzha, celebrities or prominent statesmen were never born. But every five-year-old child knew the names of his ancestors, and could clearly explain what his grandfather or great-grandfather did. The traditions of the Russian North had a fundamental influence on the future writer.
At school, Alexander studied well. His favorite subjects were the history of his native land and literature. He read a lot and tried to compose stories himself. After school, Molchanov entered the philological department of the Vologda Pedagogical Institute. He received a specialized education and went to work as a teacher in a rural school. In the beginning of the 90s, cardinal transformations took place in the country and the young teacher returned to the regional center. Here he had numerous acquaintances and connections with classmates.
In the field of writing
As an educated person and a competent philologist, Molchanov was accepted into the staff of the newspaper "Russian North". For several years he wrote correspondence on criminal topics. Creativity in this genre paid well, and there were plenty of materials. The journalist watched with his own eyes how the nouveau riche live, what kind of business they do. The career of a criminal reporter developed well, but the monotony of events began to bore him. In 2001, Alexander moved to the capital.
A trained specialist with rich practice was received by the editor-in-chief of the Metro weekly. Rotating in the media space, Molchanov sensitively picked up new trends and requests. He was repeatedly approached by famous directors with a proposal to write a script for the series or a play for a theatrical production. After some deliberation, Alexander entered the film drama department at VGIK and completed his studies in 2008. During his studies, the plays “Snow Town”, “Adrenaline”, “Killer” came out from under his pen.
