December 27, 1986 Larisa and Valery Polyarinov, who lived in the village of the Sunrise of the Kaluga region and subsequently broke down, took congratulations on the birth of the son of Alesh. Later, a moving to the village of Dawn Aksay district of the Rostov region was held, because there was an agricultural institute there, where the head of the family could be engaged in cybernetics or "something like that."
In childhood, to buy pasta and oil for lunch, children (the celebrity has his own brother Sergey) together with the mother went to the cherry garden, they gathered 8 buckets, one left themselves, and the rest was sold on the track. But then, poverty did not realize them, unless in those moments, when the Sasha's cousins and sister sisters were located in the Moscow region and saw the LEGO constructor and Snickers' chocolate.
Some events of the early years have reflected in partly the autobiographical novel "Center for gravity", where the author presented the chief hero Petro some moments of his childhood. For example, a writer, a slightly mitigating the situation, described how in school it was broken for the fact that those were not as everyone:
"We lived in such a place in which there were no contrast between rich and poor, although our family was considered an intelligentsia. I went to one school with children from a nearby village, where it was just darkness was, Sodom and Gomorra. They simply were fucking, they even looked scary. "At the age of 14, the teenager wanted to become a great director. Then he was just presented by the Panasonic video recorder, and he, without taking off, watched films with Jackie Chan, dreaming about how to perform complex stunts in their own films.

In Moscow, Alexey, who has brought the second higher education to the specialty "Expertise and Real Estate Management", sat down for a debut product, in parallel developing his own blog in LiveJournal with readings for read.
The first sample of the feather "Landscape with a drop of Ikara", entitled the picture of Peter Breygel, according to the author, failed and deserved the title of "zero novel". Taking into account all the mistakes and drawing conclusions, the "center of gravity" Polarin approached more thoroughly, spending for the creation of 6 years.

A man considers himself a grievous and nervous person and is convinced that it is the writing that helps him control the world and fall into the state of internal control.
