Aleksandr Bushkov

Alexander Bushkov writes in a variety of genres, from action films and detective stories to fantasy and horror films. He also does not refuse journalism. At the same time, the writer has an original, if not to say extravagant, point of view for each historical fact or event.

The biography of the popular writer Alexander Bushkov began in April 1956 in the provincial town of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Minusinsk. At school, the boy did not differ in good discipline and diligence. Perhaps the lack of desire for study was the reason that the master of words never graduated from the university. But Bushkov was engaged in self-education all his life, mainly reading books.

Having received a school certificate, the guy changed more than one job. He served as an insurance agent and a loader, delivered telegrams, participated in geophysical expeditions. He was not drafted into the ranks of the Soviet army, since he suffered from poor eyesight from childhood.

When the story "Varyags without an invitation" was published, the young author got noticed by the republican party committee of Khakassia, and Bushkov was attracted to the local newspaper. From there he moved to head the literary section of the drama theater in Abakan. The family moved to this city in 1972.

In 1985, Bushkov moved to Krasnoyarsk, where he finally took up writing. The first book of science fiction stories entitled "Standing in the Fire" was also published there. At first, Alexander collaborated with the leader of Russian book printing - the Krasnoyarsk Book Publishing House. The company was the first in the country to publish works by Boris Yeltsin and Valentin Pikul, rare works by Robert Shtilmark and Viktor Astafiev.

Since 1996, Bushkov has been publishing for OLMA Media Group, one of the largest private publishing houses that introduced Russians to the works of Maurice Druon, Martin Cruz Smith, Louise Hay.

Muse and inspiration, according to Bushkov, are an excuse for idlers, a writer must earn money, therefore at least 4 books a year come out from the pen of Alexander. The writer described his own style as dynamic and operational, with belligerent and sometimes cruel characters.

Bushkov gained fame in Russia and Eastern Europe by writing a series about the paratrooper officer Stanislav Svarog, who, with the help of a shaman, enters a fantastic alien world.

Alexander really liked the performance of Ksenia Sobchak in the film "Mad". As Bushkov said, the young woman in the role of the bitchy singer Lyamkina, imitating Marilyn Monroe and getting on the nerves of the producer, "played one hundred percent chalda, just in its place." However, the key character of the book, which became the basis of the detective story, is Dasha Shevchuk, the captain of the criminal investigation department and the threat of the underworld.

The hero of yet another cycle is Vasily Smolin, an antique dealer in spirit and by profession. The series includes only 3 novels, in which the far from positive hero is busy looking for rarities. By the will of fate and excessive curiosity, Smolin finds himself in situations involving a risk to his life.

Communism, according to the writer, turned into a business, Mikhail Khodorkovsky went to jail not for political reasons, but because he went too far, undertook to tell the ruling elite what to do and how.
