Family and childhood

Vladimir Alekseevich Ivanov (Istarhov) was born in1949 in Moscow. The main thing that he always talks about his ancestors is that they were all Russian. This is extremely important for him, because he propagates the original Russian idea and should have the right to disseminate his national concept. His father was a serviceman, his mother a pharmacist of the highest category. Vladimir had an older sister, worked as a pharmacist. In Soviet times, it was a typical family, which experienced with the country all the difficulties and joys: recovery after the war, the complexity of the Soviet period, but the parents were able to give the children a decent education, and this in those days was an important moment for the start. Vladimir studied in the 310th school in Moscow, which he graduated in 1966.

Education

Immediately after school, Vladimir entered a decenthigh school - Moscow Institute of Electronic Engineering, at the Faculty of Applied Mathematics. While studying at the university, he attended the evening school of music education number 1 in the Moskvoretsky district of the capital, he learned to play the guitar. Later this skill was useful to him, when he collaborated with many vocal and instrumental ensembles. At the same time, his musical taste was formed. His predilection is folk, classical and jazz music.

Also during this period, Ivanov was trained at the military department of MIEM, after which he received the military title of captain of the reserve of communications troops.

Throughout his life Ivanov practiced a lot of sports, he has ranks in chess, tennis, is fond of swimming and hand-to-hand fighting.

Vladimir studied well at the university, expressed hopes and decided to engage in science.

Scientific career

After graduating from high school in 1972, Vladimir Ivanovgot a job at the Scientific Research Institute of Automatic Equipment for the position of engineer-laboratory assistant. For 16 years of work at NIIAA, he has passed from laboratory assistant to the leading engineer and chief of the sector. His research topic was automatic control systems for strategic forces, and to this day these systems have been adopted in the Russian army. On this topic he defended his thesis in 1982. In 1983-1984 he taught part-time at the Moscow State Institute of Radio Engineering, Electronics and Automation. It was a kind of mandatory post, because this university trained cadres for NIIAA, and at 5-6 courses the students were assigned to an employee of the institute so that he could choose worthy for future work.

In 1985, Ivanov was transferred to theResearch Institute of Automation Systems for the post of Deputy Director for Science. He became the chief designer of computer-aided design systems, was engaged in the development of special purpose systems. He also worked in the Tikhomirov group on the creation of machine translation systems for scientific and technical literature. Later, his activity was connected with bringing the program to the finished model and organizing its implementation on a commercial basis. It was a time of diversification of science, each research institute was looking for ways to earn money, and Ivanov found himself in this field.

Vladimir Alekseevich Ivanov published 52 scientificwork, some of which are still classified. His field of research interests was connected with the creation of automated control systems for a variety of complex objects.

Times for science have come hard, making moneysubsistence was possible only by making great efforts, and in 1988 Ivanov quit his job in the research institute to engage in social and political activities.

The way of the communist

In 1973, Ivanov was sent to study without a breakfrom production to the University of Marxism-Leninism. This educational institution existed in order to ideologically shake the leading cadres and the population as a whole. It was an absolutely ideological high school, where the lecturers explained the advantages of communist society over all others. Ivanov studied at the Faculty of Philosophy and for 2 years was able to disassemble in detail the concept of Marxism and Leninism. He graduated from the university in 1975 with a red diploma. This training radically changed Vladimir's views, he understood how the Soviet system works, learned what to do in order to succeed in it, but he hated the very ideas of Marxism. So, from an ideological educational institution he came out as an ardent anti-Soviet, but so far he has not publicized these views. It's hard to do this by serving in a secret military institute, if you do not want to lose your favorite job.

In 1979, Vladimir Ivanov joined the ranksCommunist Party of the Soviet Union. He did it not for ideological reasons, but because it was an indispensable condition for those who wanted to pursue a career in science, and especially in a secret institution.

In 1989, the CPSU reminded Ivanov that he was a member of theparty. He was called to stop his public activities, but could not change his mind. In connection with this, he was expelled from the party for anti-Soviet agitation and propaganda. This led to the beginning of persecution. In 1990, Ivanov had to resign from the civil service, as the existence there became unbearable.

Social activity

Since the beginning of perestroika, Ivanov has become opendemonstrate their right-wing views. In 1988, he was elected secretary of the socio-political movement "Russian Popular Front", whose members were also V. Skurlatov, V. Fadeev, S. Vdovin.

At this time, Ivanov became a notable media figure, and then Vladimir Alekseevich Istarhov appeared in the arena of public activity. Ivanov's name was too inconspicuous for the activist.

In 1990, Vladimir Istarhov tried to get into the deputies of the Supreme Council of the Russian Federation, but the Communists were able to remove him from the elections.

In the 1990s, the activist spoke at rallies, conferences, congresses, propagandized his views, which took shape in an increasingly integral theory.

Vladimir Istarhov as a patriot actively defended the White House in 1991 and 1993, he welcomed changes, hoping for the best.

Since the 1990s, Ivanov has collaborated with various small business enterprises, but his main activity - enlightenment - was still ahead.

The book "The Strike of Russian Gods"

Political views of Vladimir Alekseevichformed in the theory in the mainstream of neopaganism and Russophilism. And Vladimir Istarhov, whose biography is inextricably linked with the nationalist movement, writes his program work. This obviously anti-Semitic work calls on the Russian nation to remember its roots and reject all that is superfluous: Christianity, the constitutional structure of the state, expel the Jews and begin to live by their own rules. Despite all the controversial content, the author of The Stroke of the Russian Gods can not take away the talent of persuasion, he writes brightly, and this works well for certain audiences.
