Father Ivan Ilyich Bastrykin came from the Kuban Cossacks, from the age of nineteen he served in the navy, was awarded medals for deeds during the Great Patriotic War.

Antonov's mother Evgenia Antonovna was born in the city of Luga near Leningrad in a large peasant family, the head of which was killed at the front in the First World War. During the blockade of Leningrad, she worked at a defense plant and defended the city, and was awarded military medals. After the war, the couple of senior Bastrykins settled in Pskov, where their son Alexander was born on August 27, 1953.

In 1958, the family moved to Leningrad, where Sasha received his education.

Studying did not take away all the strength of the student: the future lawyer danced classical dances, played volleyball, studied in a theater studio and a school for a young journalist, played the guitar in the VIA of his faculty. After graduating from the university in 1975, the young lawyer went to work in his specialty and served as an investigator of the criminal investigation department for three years.
