The writer was born in 1964, on June 20, in a small village of Sokolskoye in the Sokol district (Ivanovo region). Then Asov Alexander and his family moved to Gorokhovets (Vladimir region), where he graduated from high school.

Then in 1989 he entered the graduate school of the Institute of Water Problems of the USSR Academy of Sciences, which ends in 1992. Some sources erroneously indicate that Asov graduated from the postgraduate course at Moscow State University.

Writing career

After this, Asov Alexander begins to engage in journalism and writing. From 1991 to 1998 he was a literary employee. Then, until 2005, - a freelance correspondent. And from 2005 to 2007 - one of the editors of the journal "Science and Religion", dedicated to the Slavic theme. In addition, all this time he was a member of the editorial board of the magazine.

In 1992, according to the words of Asov himself, he played in the film of A.T. Saraduk "Grandsons of Dazhbog", playing Busa Cresen, the sorcerer. The writer also claims that he himself was the author of the script.

In addition, Asov is a member of the Russian Historical Society, the Union of Journalists of Russia and Moscow.

Back in Gorokhovets he held the post of director of the school of local lore museum. He took part in the political movement "My Motherland - USSR".

He published his works in the following newspapers and magazines: "Voice of the Motherland", "NG-religion", "Oracle", "Motherland", "Young Guard", etc. Participated in the TV channels TVC, Ren-TV, "Stolitsa", TV -3.

The Veles Book

Asov is the author and commentator of many translations of the Veles Book, official historians recognized as a fake, which was also written in the wrong Russian language. Only thanks to the many books of the writer who appeared in the 90s, the name "Velesov" was fixed for the work, and not the original version of S. Lesnoy "Vlesova".

And by the beginning of 2007, Asov Alexander Igorevich released more than 10 different versions of the translation of the Veles Book, among them there are also "Russian Vedas. Songs of the bird Gamayun "and" Book of Veles ".

In his publications, the author made a number of changes in the language of the Veles Book, bringing it closer to the Proto-Slavic and the early East Slavic languages. Here are the main amendments:

• Polnoglasie, which was reflected in the name of the ancient Slavic monument.
• Eliminated some words borrowed from Ukrainian and Polish languages (Ukrainianisms and polonisms).
• Instead of letter combinations like "en" introduced the so-called yus (letters from such Old Slavic alphabets as the Glagolitic and Cyrillic alphabet).

"Veles book" in the translation of Asova caused a lot of talk and discontent both among those who believe in the authenticity of the monument (B. Yatsenko), and among scientists who consider it a fake (A. Alekseev, O. Tvorogov). Both sides note the author's liberty in interpretation and translations, changes in spelling, amendments to the original text, incompetence in the field of Slavic grammar. For example, in a book published in 1995, Asov introduced into the text 2 new letters - "yus big", "yus small", which differ only in size, although, according to grammatical rules, their differences are in the way they are drawn.

Books about the culture and mythology of the Slavs

Asov Alexander supplemented the "Veles Book" with several other texts, among them - "Slavonic-Russian Vedas". This book is a kind of reconstruction of such works as "The Book of Kolyada", "Songs of Gamayun Bird" and several other texts ("Trizny Boyanov", "Yarilin's Book") by AI Sulakadzev, recognized as an official falsifier. Despite the opinion of science, Asov took the books of Sulakadzev as real works, and not a forgery.

Reconstruction of biographies of historical personalities

It also undertakes attempts to reconstruct the biographies of some historical figures Alexander Asov. The books that form the basis of the work belong to Per Sulakadze, and also the Book of Veles serves as one of the sources. In addition, the historical personality, which describes the writer, traditional historical science is unknown. Asov in his works refers to pagan Rus of the 3-9 centuries. Among the people he writes about - the Magi and princes of Bohumir, Busa Beloyar, Yagainna Ghana (whom Asov calls the author of the Veles Book), etc. Also, the writer is often accused of inventing Slavic gods, among them - Vyshen, Kryshen, and Numbog.

"Songs of the bird Gamayun"

This book is a kind of author's stylization, which is based on a nodular letter. This type of writing is characterized by the fact that threads are used to create it, and information is encoded using a variety of nodules and colors. It is believed that it was used by many ancient civilizations. Asov suggests that the nodular writing is the legendary features and the pre-Christian Slavonic script, its existence is also in question today. The book also contains myths and legends of the Slavs.

"Russian Vedas"

Another book on the history of the Slavs, which wrote Asov. "Russian Vedas" is a collection of myths about the birth of the world and Slavic gods, among them - Veles, Svarog and Perun. In addition, stories are included about the patrons of Rus and the spirits of the elements - Lele, Finiste, Kupala, Kostroma, Snegurochka, Morozko, etc. This collection is also considered official historians pseudoscientific and is often criticized. In addition, the work contains information about the life of the Slavs, their way of life, culture and religion.

"Slavic gods and the birth of Russia"

In this book, Asov presents a collection of legends about the ancestors and gods of the Slavs. In addition, the author gives a list of written sources that describe the ancient Slavic culture, which is also called "Vedic" culture. The publication includes illustrations on which samples of the pre-Christian art of the Slavs are presented.

"Secrets of the Russian Magi"

Asov Alexander Igorevich in this book talks about the spiritual traditions and custodians of the secret knowledge of the ancient Slavs - the Magi. The author tells about the life of Russian communities, who managed to preserve the sacred letters, where ancient traditions are described and in which the memory of ancestors is consecrated, to the present day. Also, the book describes the miracles associated with these manuscripts, which happen in our time, and about the magi who are still carrying out their duties.

Conclusion

From all of the above, we can conclude that Asov Alexander - a rather ambiguous figure, and even somewhat scandalous. His books are widely acknowledged as overt forgery and falsification, which has nothing to do with the truth. Nevertheless, the author has continuers who agree with his point of view on the history of the Slavs, their mythology and religion.

Important is the fact that in 2012, three gospel-faith (neo-pagan) communities called the writer's theories unscientific and accused him of damaging the Slavic faith. Despite this, the books of Asow continue to be published and even enjoy a certain popularity. Thus, the reader must decide for himself, believe in him the concept of Alexander Igorevich, or adhere to the official scientific opinion.
