The second thing he appreciates in partners is decency.
Charity
Once, in his childhood, when he was about 7 years old, a fortuneteller guessed that he, when he grows up, will help the old ones. Probably, since then, having kept this prophecy in his memory, Alexander decided that his main mission should be to help older people. And so, when he began to earn enough money, he began to open social shops, social canteens, arrange festive lunches and dinners for senior citizens. Alexander has repeatedly said that it gives him unprecedented pleasure when he sees the happy and contented faces of old people.
The first love
As a teenager, Alexander fell in love in earnest. They studied at the same school. He escorted her, dragged a bag behind her, gave no offense to anyone, and in the evenings he kept watch at her house to catch a glimpse of her through the gap in the shutters. They were friends for about seven years, but once he saw her kissing with another guy, he was terribly worried, but did not forgive and decided to throw him out of his heart.

Growing up in an incomplete family, the future businessman always dreamed of a strong family with a caring mom and a reliable dad, with a bunch of children. He even admitted that he can still envy only those who have a real family. He first married at the age of 25, when he already had everything: a car and a house, he could afford to relax in the best resorts. The girl chose a modest, quiet fellow villager. She was 18 years old. She studied in the Lower. However, from the wealth that suddenly fell upon her, “the roof went.” She dropped out of school and wanted to spend all day in hairdressing salons, shopping centers, evenings in the evenings in restaurants, clubs, discos, because of this, conflicts began to flare up in the young family, moreover, she did not want to understand that her husband might linger at work. Quarrels broke out in the family every day, and soon the marriage broke up.
After this, Alexander Bochkarev is in no hurry to marry, although he is considered one of the most enviable bachelors. He is afraid that the girls in him will be attracted to his wealth, and he wants real and sincere love. What to do, because all of Nizhny Novgorod knows him by sight?

He told me how he bathed her after the hospital, how he drove her for walks.
Friends

He considers Yuri Isaakovich Lebedev his best friend. He is grateful to him for his help and support, he is a very wise leader and decent person. This is the best mayor, and Nizhny Novgorod should be proud of him. Sergey Voronov is also the best of his friends. He calls him his brother, because he didn’t have any brothers, and it’s so nice to know that someone is behind you.
Religion, Faith
Alexander considers himself a believer. He is an Old Believer. Faith in him was laid by his grandmother, who had a great influence on the boy. In the evenings, grandmother taught Sasha to pray, and it was to the sound of her voice that he fell into a dream. His grandmother also taught him to always be honest, because a lie is one of the greatest sins. The same goes for mercy. He cannot pass by those who ask for his help, of course, if the money is not intended to buy a bottle of vodka. That is why he decided to open free canteens and hairdressers for the poor.
About myself
Alexander Bochkarev believes that he is a very emotional person, he can flare up, be rude, raise his voice. In addition, he is very stubborn and stubborn, and this is due to the fact that he was born under the sign of the zodiac Capricorn. But he considers himself a very caring dad. For the sake of his daughter, he even quit smoking, also does not like to drink, except on very funny and significant dates, and even then champagne or beer.
