Alexander Severov is a thief in law

Between the bright Soviet past, and it was so for ordinary people, and almost light today there is a troubled time, affectionately nicknamed "dashing nineties." Fortunately, all the bad from memory is quickly erased. But there are bright, sometimes comical, and sometimes symbolic moments. No one will argue that thieves in law are just from the nineties. Yes, they appeared much earlier, moreover, the special status was acquired by those who were "crowned" even under the Soviet Union.

How Sasha the North has gained popular popularity

A thief-in-law is a person who lives in a criminal environment, is an integral part of it, adheres to the unofficial thief code and makes him honor others. Often, it has a huge impact on criminals in a certain locality and solves all the conflicts that arise between them. When entering the MLS, such thieves automatically become "looking" zones. A real thief in the law is obliged to have many walks, not to have a family and children. This is due to a lifestyle in which personal attachments become an unaffordable luxury. Anonymity is the key to the successful activity of such a criminal.

Soviet ideologists who preached the image of a socialist society without disgusting criminality, are sure to take to their heads, watching how criminal romance became popular among the people. Partly idealized criminals chanson performers: Butyrka, Mikhail Krug, Sasha Bryansky. You can enumerate for a long time. "Blatnaya" variety has not less number of singers and singers than pop. But most of the songs are faceless, abstract, about the thieves' share, about the mothers of criminals and so on. That is, there was no specifics, named names, until the legendary Mikhail Krug wrote his hit "Vladimirsky Central". The question immediately arises: "And where is the specifics here?" Take just one line ...

Vladimirsky central, the north wind ...

Knowing the story of how Mikhail visited Sasha Severnoy in this famous prison, and then almost immediately wrote a song, it's easy to replace the last two words with the name and surname of authority. The fact is that both of these people come from Tver. It is difficult to imagine that they might be unfamiliar. Tver is not such a big city, so that the two luminaries, each in their own business, miss each other. But no one has ever heard the name of a thief in a song written in 1996. It seems that the thief Alexander Severov personally asked his friend when he came to him after his imprisonment. Whatever it was, and the song became almost the main hit of domestic thieves, making famous not only its author and performer, but also the mastermind.

A thief should sit in jail

This axiom is not only a key phrase of the famous movie detective Zheglov, but also an indispensable condition for real thieves in the law. Moreover, it is crowned on the zone, and not at will. Alexander Severov - a thief-in-law - in total he served 20 years. Among the rumors about this man is listed, as if he was crowned twice - first Caucasians, and then the Slavs. True or fiction, for certain it is not known, but the fact that Alexander Severov was crowned at the time of the Soviet Union, is clear for sure. It turns out that it can be attributed to the thieves of the old school.

Some biographies

Alexander Severov - a native of the Kazakh SSR, was born in 1951. The first time he was crowned in the early nineties and received the title of the beholder in Tver. At the will of such a title for a long time did not manage to walk, because it was not far off in the Vladimir center. According to unconfirmed reports, the administration of the colony attempted either to break Severov himself, or to undermine his authority among the prisoners. To achieve his, the prisoner was put in a very cold cell, where he wrung out to keep warm. The authenticity of this story is still in question. Maybe it's really better to take it as a beautiful legend about the inflexibility of the thief's spirit ...

What exactly is not a legend is the case in the colony "White Swan", where a great feat of a small man Vladimir Vasilenko takes place. In order to prevent prisoners from freezing in the cells just because they did not turn on the heating, and on the street it was already -20 ° C, he voluntarily seized Solikamskaya CHPP with a detachment of submachine gunners. Just at this time in the colony was serving another term Sasha Severny. They say that he complained that he was tired of pushing himself in the cell to keep warm. True, this was said in the context of a threat to someone who made prisoners freeze.

Wrong Identity of the Thief-in-Law

It is not worth idealizing such personalities as Sasha Sever. Cruel, without moral principles, which replaces the thieves' morals. So, in 2011 Alexander Severov, whose biography is well known in law enforcement agencies, was detained with drugs, they prepared them "for personal use." The trail of articles behind his shoulders is impressive, there is a "hooligan" on the list. Some of the victims suffered, protecting their property from a thief. No, this is not romance, especially not blatant. This is a harsh and cruel life in which a thief in law Sasha Severus imperceptibly, like a spider, affects the criminals of Moscow and the region and not only.
