The biography of the production worker, politician and public figure is closely connected with this city; Many did Aristov for its residents, who should be grateful to Alexander Mikhailovich for at least thousands of jobs created by him.

Childhood and youth

Aristov Alexander was born on the sixth of August 1949 in the small town of Plast in the Chelyabinsk region. The city was a mining town, and the father of Alexander Mikhail Vasilyevich (in the past - a front-line soldier) also worked underground, holding the position of a mine master. The mother of a future deputy, Polina Ivanovna, worked in a bookshop. From their parents, their only son took the best: love of work and books, discipline and responsibility.

With finances in the family it was very tight, and Sasha at the age of fourteen went to work. In the afternoon I worked as a carpenter-carpenter, and in the evening I went to school. Despite such workload, the guy had time to play football as part of the local team "Miner".

In 1967, Alexander Aristov, whose biography differed little from the biographies of most of the boys of that time, went into the army. Served happened in the strategic missile forces stationed in the vicinity of Nizhny Tagil. Two years later, the young man, who had become stronger and more mature, returned to the "citizen" in the rank of sergeant.

Finding Yourself

Aristov Alexander his way to the tops began from the very bottom, he earned his fortune honestly. After the army, the young man did not return to his native Plast, but settled in Chelyabinsk. Here he settled on a local tractor factory as a mechanic.

Soon he had a wife, and then a daughter. The family had to be fed, and besides, the son needed his parents. And he was so anxious to continue his education! And Alexander still does it - first at the workforce (in 1971), then (in 1972) in the Chelyabinsk Polytechnic Institute for the Faculty of Mechanics and Technology. But at the same time he combines his studies with work, moving from the factory to the fire department, where the character of the future big businessman seriously tempered. Who knows, perhaps it was the rescuer's work that made Aristov such a strong-willed, stubborn and unbending man who managed to achieve a great deal in his life ...

But before the success was still far away. Having received the diploma, Aristov spent ten years dedicated to the Yuzhnoye oil and gas complex, where he was engaged in the construction of various objects: granaries, grain containers, etc.

Student years
