Today we will tell you who Alexander Sukhanov is. His biography will be considered below. Our hero (born May 25, 1952) is a native of the city of Saratov. He grew up on the banks of the Volga and, of course, adds fame to his native land. The future celebrity of the entire Soviet Union and Russia from an early age set an example to their peers: Alexander, being a truly gifted young man, managed not only to study impeccably in a school with a mathematical bias, but also graduated with honors from a music school in the violin class. Since school, he has been successful in the natural sciences: mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology, but even then a talented student was drawn to creativity.
Training
At the age of 17, Alexander Sukhanov wrote his first song, “The Stork Flies into the Clouds,” which in the future will win the hearts of thousands of fans of the author’s song genre. At the same time, he makes his way to the All-Union Mathematical Olympiad, due to the results of which he was invited to study at once in the two best universities of the USSR: MIPT and Moscow State University. Sukhanov preferred the Lomonosov University and entered the faculty of mechanics. In his student days, the lyric poet not only impressed the professor with his mind and talent as a mathematician, but also continued to write poetry, select tunes for them, and even record songs on the works of such great poets as Pushkin, Khayyam, Verlaine, Rubtsov and Marshak. In addition, at this time, Alexander Sukhanov leads the symphony orchestra of his educational institution. Surprisingly, the guitar, thanks to which the biography of this person is so interesting to all of us, fell into the hands of the bard in his student years. From childhood, he masterfully mastered the violin, piano, accordion, but the love of guitar strings came later. Moscow State University Alexander Sukhanov graduates with honors, and later defends his work for the candidate degree. All his life, along with the work of the writer and composer, Sukhanov has been working as a mathematician, teaching first at one of the higher military schools, and then at his native university, where, already being a senior researcher, he receives a doctorate.
Confession
Sukhanov Alexander gained fame at the age of 24 after speaking at the Moscow Amateur Song Club. Later, he continues to play with concerts throughout the country, looking into its most remote corners, traveling with relatives in Europe and North America. Alexander received a number of awards, including the Tsarskoye Selo Art Prize and the prize of the Grushinsky Festival. In 2005, the composer from his hometown deservedly received the title of “Honorary Citizen of Saratov”. Since the 80s, Sukhanov has been recording his own records, which were replaced by audio cassettes in the 90s and CDs in the 2000s. To this day, Alexander Sukhanov pleases fans of his work. His songs in 2015 are recorded by V.S. Berkovsky in the framework of the album "Russian Bards", and more recently, the composition that was once sung by heart throughout the union - "The Green Carriage", sounded like a music screen saver in one of the South Korean films.
Hobbies
The author of more than 150 songs to this day lives and works as a mathematician in Moscow. In one of his interviews, Alexander Sukhanov admitted that he most appreciates the work of B. Okudzhava and
V. Egorov. In his free time, the poet enjoys table tennis.
Personal life
Sukhanov Alexander is married to Lisa Sukhanova, a former student of the philological faculty of Moscow State University. They met as graduate students of the country's main university. Together they raised 4 children: two girls from the first marriage of Alexander and daughter Lisa. For fans of his work, it is a great joy to see him on television and radio broadcasts now: the songs of our hero are the pride of all the bardic culture of the USSR and Russia.
