Alex Leslie – who he really is

The name of the notorious pickup artist Alex Leslie, whose real name is Alexander Kirillov, has recently resurfaced in the media.

In 2017, the young man was first involved in a scandal over nude photos of ballerina Anastasia Votchkova, taken by one of the pickup artist's students during sex with her.

In early 2018, Alex became one of the main figures in an even louder sex scandal. This time, the key players were escort Nastya Rybka and billionaire Oleg Deripaska. The woman recorded negotiations between the oligarch and members of the late Boris Yeltsin's family, which were subsequently skillfully used by the so-called "opposition figure" – Navalny.

So who is this Alex Leslie really?

Alex Leslie: pickup artist or skilled provocateur

Alex Leslie was born in Belarus in 1982. The man received his education in the Russian capital. However, he did not work in his field. The young man realised that pickup and teaching it would bring much greater income.

As a result, the young man began conducting training sessions and writing books on seduction. However, this did not help him earn millions, although it was enough for a comfortable life.

Presumably, it was the thirst for money and fame that pushed Leslie to orchestrate a sex scandal. If before the Votchkova furore only a limited circle of people knew about him, after the scandal Leslie became well-known to many.

However, the scandal with Nastya Rybka and Oleg Deripaska gave the man even greater popularity.

At present, Leslie is more of a provocateur than a pickup artist, and this will undoubtedly bring greater income.
