Biography
[edit]Alexander Severov was born 25 April 1959 in prison of Karaganda (then Soviet Kazakhstan) in family, members of which were in trouble with law.
Parents of Alexander rarely were near, because of their inprisonment. Father spent 27 years and mother 44 years in prison.
In school years he was sent to boarding school, where he had trouble to get along with classmates, as a result he was sent to boarding school for troublesome teens.[2]
Criminal activities
[edit]Severov received his first prison sentence at the age of 18 for theft in a boarding school — two years of imprisonment, which were later increased to five years. In 1982 he was sentenced to seven years for hooliganism, and in 1992 — to six years for robbery.[2][1]
In 1993, Severov was crowned as a ‘vor v zakone’ (thief-in-law). In 1998, he was sentenced to five years in a high-security prison but was released early under an amnesty. During his imprisonment in the Vladimir Central Prison, he met the emerging singer Mikhail Krug, who later dedicated the song «Vladimir Central Prison» to him. Their friendship continued until Krug’s death.[2].
During his time in prison, Severov became addicted to drugs, which led to his final sentence in 2011 — a suspended sentence for being under the influence of drugs at a train station in St. Petersburg.[3]
In 2014, he was was forced into "retirement" for numerous violations of the thieves’ code.[4].
Personal life
[edit]In the 1980s, Alexander met his future wife. Since he was in prison, their wedding took place there. The couple has three children. In addition, Alexander has a son from a previous relationship.[2]
