Alexey's parents took faith in God seriously and instilled in their son a love of reading the Bible, drawing attention to the benefits of living according to its commandments.

Since 2000 he has been married to Irina. Spouses are happily married, sharing each other's interests, life principles and dreams. The family loves to relax on the sea and in the mountains - together they travel to the most beautiful places of their native country, dream of visiting Lake Baikal and seeing the northern lights. Irina runs the household, and Alexey worked as a senior manager for a long time, until, due to criminal prosecution, the family had to move from Krasnodar to Perm, where Alexey got a job in a taxi.
