According to the Federal Law of July 25, 2002 (Article No. 13), the Ministry of Justice of Russia is obliged to maintain, publish and post on the Internet the Federal List of Extremist Materials. They can be recognized as such on the basis of a court decision on the presence or absence of extreme views in them.
Instead of introducing
The federal list of extremist materials, according to the law, is formed on the basis of copies of court decisions that have entered into force and received by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation. The law also establishes liability for the distribution, production, and storage of materials that are included in the published Federal List.
Among the forbidden works of fiction placed on constantly growing lists are books authored by Alexander Nikitich Sevastyanov, a well-known political and public figure in Russia. It will be discussed in the article.
Acquaintance
Sevastyanov Alexander Nikitich is a popular Russian public and political figure in certain circles, a former co-chair of the National Power Party of Russia (NDPR), banned in 2003, and an author of fiction and journalistic works of an extremist nature. Two of them are on the Federal Lists.
Alexander Sevastyanov: biography, the early years
A. N. Sevastyanov was born on April 11, 1954 in Moscow in the family of a world-famous philologist. After the birth of a son, the family moved to Kaliningrad. When Alexander was 13, his father left the family, and difficult days came for the boy and his mother. From the age of 14, the young man had to get acquainted with hard physical labor: according to someone else's passport, he had to earn extra money as a laborer, painter, carpenter, and loader. He learned to play billiards, which became an additional source of income.
Marriage
In 1972, the family returned to Moscow, where Alexander transferred to the correspondence department of Moscow State University and began working as an elevator conductor in the university’s scientific library. He married a half-Jewish Jew. The marriage was very unsuccessful, having existed for only five years. But he gave, in Alexander's opinion, an invaluable experience: having studied the environment of his wife, he comprehended the features of Jewish national psychology and the subtleties, as he believes, of the incompatibility of Russian and Jewish characters.
Having met a girl whom he really fell in love with, Alexander without hesitation leaves his wife. The first reckless marriage cost the young man a generic apartment, which remained his wife.
A family
With his second wife, whom he affectionately calls Lyusya, Alexander Nikitich lived for more than thirty years. Sevastyanov calls the new marriage surprisingly happy. Thanks to this union, as he believes, his life took place. Lyudmila Sevastyanov calls his wife a reliable support, a man who shares his views. Thanks to his wife, her tireless care of the house and children, he is free from the need to deal with domestic problems. The “Russian spirit” is consciously cultivated in the family, it maintains the Russian cultural atmosphere, which he absorbed from his ancestors.
Children and grandchildren
The family has grown six children, growing up three grandchildren. Spouses live in a five-room state apartment. The eldest son worked as a lawyer; he died under unclear circumstances. There was a widow and a son. The eldest daughter works as a fabric artist, she lives with her husband-officer and children at the place of service of her husband.
The middle son is an architect, the middle daughter, who has become a broad-based artist and designer, has married a businessman. The two youngest children of the Sevastyanovs live with their parents. The son of a schoolboy is only a year older than their first grandson.
All family members warmly love each other and live very friendly. Parents raised them in the belief that the strongest and most reliable support in the world is the family.
Education
In 1977, Alexander Nikitich Sevastyanov graduated from Moscow State University (philological faculty), in 1983 - graduate school at the Faculty of Journalism. He is a candidate of philological sciences.
Creation
In the early 90s, Alexander Nikitich Sevastyanov first presented his works to the court of the Russian reader. His books were distinguished by a bright nationalist orientation. The author in them promoted national democratic, anti-Semitic, anti-liberal and anti-Soviet ideas.
Sevastyanov Alexander Nikitich is a member of creative organizations: Union of Writers, Union of Journalists, Union of Writers, Slavic Union of Journalists, Association of Art Critics.
Activities
As Sevastyanov himself said in his autobiography, there was a time when he dreamed of making a career as a filmmaker. But he soon realized that he would not succeed in combining this profession with family life. Therefore, he decided in principle not to make any career, preferring to engage in creativity - to write books and articles. He studied in absentia in graduate school, because he did not want to join the CPSU. He worked as a fitter on duty for three and a half years. As Alexander Nikitich confesses, he did not make any wealth with his activity: he has neither a car, nor a summer house.
Sevastyanov Alexander Nikitich - author and co-author of several bills: “draft constitution”, “on the divided position of the Russian nation”, “on the Russian people”. In 2002, he was elected by the participants of the founding congress of the NDPR as co-chairman of the party. Sevastyanov Alexander Nikitich is also one of the organizers of the "Russian marches", held annually on November 4 in different cities of Russia. It is known that in 2004 he published a list that included the names of journalists, political and public figures, whom the author categorized as “not friends of the Russian people”.
Interests
In the house of the Sevastyanovs there is a library that he collects throughout his life. Alexander Nikitich regrets that his children read a little: either due to lack of time, or simply such a generation - not reading.
He also has several good guitars (seven-stringed). This instrument, by its nature exclusively Russian, Sevastyanov considers completely and undeservedly forgotten, supplanted by the “six-string”. The seven-string guitar is no longer taught in Russia. Alexander Nikitich knows a considerable number of Russian romances and songs. Somehow I even recorded a disk of my favorite romances. Occasionally sings them among friends.
Alexander Sevastyanov complains about the lack of free time, but if it is still there, he spends it with his family: plays with children, visits museums. His interest as an art historian has always been riveted to graphics, ceramics, cold steel. A favorite vacation spot for Alexander Nikitich is the Crimea, which he considers a Russian shrine.
Unfortunately, he has few close friends. The politician considers his happiness and grief that he has always been friends with people much older than himself. He has already spent many in a different world.
Accusation of anti-Semitism
In 2007, after the 20th Moscow International Book Fair, which showed books by Y. Petukhov, Y. Mukhin, A. Savelyev and A. Sevastyanov, the Moscow Bureau of Human Rights sent a statement to the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation. The authors of the books were accused of promoting "outright anti-Semitism."
"Russian nationalism: his friends and enemies"
In accordance with the decision of the Meshchansky District Court of Moscow, held in August 2013, the book by Sevastyanov, whose title is listed in the title of the section, is banned in Russia and included in the Federal List.
The first edition of the book about nationalists was published in 2001. The work was published by Russkaya Pravda with a circulation of 3 thousand copies. According to the annotation to the book, readers were offered a principled, fascinating, important and very timely discussion that unfolded on the pages of leading Russian media on the problems of Russian nationalism. This publication is already considered a bibliographic rarity.
The second edition of the book (substantially supplemented) was also published by the Russian Pravda publishing house. A. N. Sevastyanov acted as editor and author of the preface, in which he presented the background to the birth of this fascinating collection and emphasized its enduring informative value.
