Alexander Shatalov was born on November 10, 1957 in Krasnodar. He passed away in Moscow on February 15, 2018.
He was educated at the Moscow Institute of Civil Aviation Engineers (MIIGA). In 1985 he began to engage in criticism and poetry. The first publication of Shatalov was published in the journal Literary Review. He was a poetry editor at the Young Guard publishing house, a correspondent for the Vechernyaya Moskva newspaper (1984-1990), and a publishing consultant for the Union of Writers of the USSR. He was a literary agent for E. Limonov and N. Medvedeva.
In 1990, together with Sergei Nadeev, he created, firstly, the literary and artistic magazine Glagol, and on its basis a publishing house, in which the novels of J. Baldwin, W. Burroughs, S. Spender, E. Forster were first published in Russian , C. Bukowski, as well as the first editions of E. Limonov, N. Medvedeva, E. Kharitonov, N. Sadur, M. Volokhov, A. Vasiliev, A. Galich and other authors.
Since 1993, Alexander Shatalov has been conducting regular book reviews on television (Russian Universities, NTV, RTR, Kultura, Domashny). He was the author and host of the television program "Grafoman" (RTR, Culture).
He was a member of the Union of Writers of the USSR (1991), the Union of Writers of Moscow (1993), the Russian PEN Club. He was deputy chairman of the commission on the literary heritage of Alexander Galich at the Union of Writers of the Soviet Union. Since 2013, he has been a member of the Western Choice Party.
In 2010, Shatalov was the author of the script for the documentary "Matrona of Moscow" (2010), as well as the author of the documentary films "Oscar Rabin.

Alexander Shatalov is the author of 5 books of poetry and translations from the languages of the peoples of the USSR. The first collection was published by the publishing house "Young Guard" (together with 3 other authors - participants in the VIII All-Union Conference of Young Writers). In the preface to it, E. Eremina noted that the author "is accurate in psychological writing, psychologism is one of the attractive aspects of his work." In her review of the book, F. Grimberg, among other things, noted the psychologism of the poet, as well as the increased “demanding of the lyrical hero of the books to himself”, other critics wrote about this. The second book of the poet was also received very well. But then there was a long pause and the last 2 collections were already released in America. The American realities presented in them, combined with domestic realities, made it possible for critics to speak about the cosmopolitanism of the author's position, which was strikingly different from the content of his first collections:
- The poetry of Alexander Shatalov is a classic of the generation of the end of the century, the generation of people fluid like a terminator, the generation of drug-queens and psilocybin revelations of gay parties, as well as cheerful freaks who turned the metropolitan communal apartments into squats of comic book and Internet fans, the generation turning from the pipe to Manhattan who enters to drink coffee with "weed" in an Amsterdam coffee shop and exits through the back door in the area of the Parisian docks near Central Park, the generation of the "doom game" frozen on the edge of an urban abyss in the aching puppy and greedy expectation of love - life-giving and devouring at the same time - a love-draught of which there is neither repetition nor confirmation - and then cynically defending itself from it - “you need to learn to love not seriously / maliciously and coldly sluggishly and simply”, love - as a symbol of the unfulfilled fullness of being the magical interpenetration of life and death, because looking at the beloved body we all the time we see his death, love breaking through life “an unpredictable circle / where you can’t breathe, but it’s easy to suffocate” when “life without you is just a deception / but with you it’s lonely” (precisely about - and not just - like a breakthrough into the third dimension since the circle belongs to the plane as salvation from limbo), love-death-resurrection as the right to the only free choice in the city, which changes names like Indian deities faces, but is now New York, then Moscow, then Calcutta, then Paris, invariably preserving its technological essence, in a city “in which it’s time for me to know / you can not live, but always die” ...
Alexander Shatalov's poems have been translated into English, Bulgarian and German. He was awarded the prize of the magazine "New World" (1996), published in some collective collections.

The future talent was born in the city of Krasnodar on November 10, 1957. Little is known about his childhood. But the fact that he would become a poet and create masterpieces, no one at that time could even imagine.
Alexander Nikolaevich entered the Moscow Institute of Civil Aviation Engineers. There he received his higher education. As you can see, aviation is not a very creative direction. Shatalov also understood this, so he did not work for a long time. And already in the mid-eighties, his first masterpiece was published in the journal Literary Review. With this publication, his career growth began. At first he worked as a correspondent for the Evening Moscow publication, then he took the prestigious post of editor at the Young Guard publishing house and was engaged in consulting activities for the Writers' Union.

Pressure and a great desire to achieve success helped Alexander Nikolayevich in the difficult 90s to accomplish what would glorify him forever. He founded the Glagol publishing house. In this publishing house he published a book by Eduard Limonov, his friend, "It's me - Eddie." The book attracted the attention of the public, as it was not like all the others, it used profanity. Nevertheless, Shatalov was not afraid to give her life and did not lose. Also, for the first time in Russia, Glagol publishing house published novels in Russian by such writers as Charles Bukowski and Stephen Spender. And this is not the whole list of authors.
Since the beginning of the nineties, Alexander Nikolayevich has been conducting reviews on the channels "Culture", "Domashny" and "NTV". At the same time, he does not leave his creative field of activity. Writes screenplays and critical articles.

Alexander Nikolayevich poured a piece of his soul into everything he did and did. He devoted a lot of time to work and creativity. That is why I did not have time to get a family, a beloved wife. Which would protect, take care of and give warmth. He drew his energy from the source to which he gave his all.
Few people know that, in addition to everything, the poet was also involved in documentary films. He is the author of a series of films that tell about sixties artists. Author of five books of poetry and translations from the languages of the peoples of the USSR.
