There are many talented people in Russia. Some of them have successfully realized themselves in more than one field. Alexander Shapovalov is now better known as an outstanding financier working in the Department of Economics. He has been working in large financial institutions of the country for more than 20 years. However, few people know that during the time of perestroika he shot documentaries. He is a member of the Directors Guild to this day.
Biography
Alexander Alexandrovich was born in the Rostov region in the city of Millerovo, where he spent all his childhood and youth. After serving in the army, the future director managed to work in the Tushino police department from 1980 to 1983, where he held the post of district police officer. Experience in the Soviet police was very useful in the future, when Alexander Shapovalov began filming documentaries. Already in 1984, his first picture was released. At this point, he entered the Institute of Cinematography, from which in 1988 he graduated as a certified director. Throughout his studies, he perfected his documentary skills.
During his career as a director, he shot more than 20 films that were relevant at that time. One of the most outstanding works was the film "Unfinished Song", which was released in 1989. It was very popular among viewers of that time and was often broadcast. Alexander Shapovalov chose only hot topics. His previous work as a district police officer helped to create the film “To All Police Posts”, which was released in 1985 almost simultaneously with the popular film “Attention! To all posts. ”
"Life and death of Peter Freidin"
Shapovalov Alexander Alexandrovich worked at various film studios and made films on various topics. In 1991, when perestroika was already raging in the courtyard and troubled times reigned in the country, he touched on the notorious Gulag and those who ended up in camps. Then the film “The Life and Death of Peter Freidin” was released, which talked about the Odessa chansonnier, who became a victim of repression by Stalin.
Peter Freudin suffered for performing in a circus with an Italian artist. In order not to get out of a number of artists, he took the pseudonym Petro Fredolini, for which he ended up in a camp. He was accused of spying for the Italians. From the end of the thirties until the death of Joseph Stalin in 1953, Peter sat in prison. Despite the long conclusion, he did not lose his humor and thirst for life. The film fully reveals the biography of the chansonnier and talks about his imprisonment and rehabilitation.
Documentaries
The first documentary of this director was the film "Dima", which was popular in the mid-eighties, but today is a real cinematic rarity. Alexander Alexandrovich approached the filming with great responsibility, so he got high-quality and deep films.
Perhaps this was the reason that under the names of his films little-known directors of the late nineties began to release their documentaries. Now it’s already difficult to find the film “Blessed is He Who Believes” among the mass of twins, the “Unfinished Song” has sunk into oblivion (under this name a picture about the chanson star came out) and it is almost impossible to find the “Closed City” network.
"Parliamentary elections"
The last film in the career of director Alexander Shapovalov was the film "Parliamentary Elections", released in 1993. She talks about the emergence of power in the new Russia. This year was a turning point for the whole country. It was then, in the troubled nineties, on December 12 that the people decided on the composition of the State Duma.
These elections were preceded by the autumn political crisis, which is better known as the Yeltsin coup. According to unofficial data, the change of power that took place in early October 1993, claimed the lives of more than a thousand people, even more people were injured. Official statistics give more modest figures - 150 people. Alexander Alexandrovich in his film spoke in detail about the elections and the events that preceded them.
Job
The election tape was the last in the career of Alexander. After her, he decided to change his specialty and began to actively advance as a financier. Despite the fact that at that time he graduated only from the institute of cinematography, Alexander Alexandrovich retrained and began working in the Odintsovo branch of one of the Moscow banks. He served there until 1997, and then entered the correspondence department of the financial and economic institute. At the same time, he became chairman of the board of Moszhilstroybank, but stayed in the new position for only a year.
In parallel with his studies, Alexander Shapovalov began to build his career in the Government. He began as a regional official, and later began to work in federal departments. From 1998 to 2000, he worked in the Treasury of Moscow. It was from there that his dizzying career began, which gradually led to the position that Shapovalov is now occupying - the deputy head of the Department of State Debt.
Scientific activity
The world of finance and economics was so carried away by Alexander that in 2000 he wrote two scientific works published in Tambov. One of the works was devoted to the financial policy of modern Russia, and the second spoke about the international experience of
budget federalism. Both works were published as part of the series “Scientific notes of the Free Economic Society”. The second got into a special issue.
In the same year, another work was published in co-authorship, telling about the treasury system of Russia and how it is changing in connection with the strengthening of the vertical of power. This work was published by Vestnik TSU. All the works of Alexander Shapovalov are distinguished by their logical construction and depth of research.
