It is only known that Anton has a brother Yevgeny, who also started Dynamo from the sports school. But, despite the undoubted talent of the football player, the guy went on a creative path, graduating from an educational institution with a musical and theater bias. In adulthood, he took up business.
One day, journalists managed to talk to Anton's mother Larisa Shunina, and they found out that the woman from the first days supported the Son and until 2012 tried to attend all the games with his participation.
The attitude to the profession of the football player has changed at the moment when during an exit match with the St. Petersburg "Zenit" in her child threw Petardo and he was injured. Since then, interests were limited to collecting attributes and viewing the final table with the results of games.
