There is a Japanese wisdom that says that accidents are not random at all. Everything that happens in our life is not a coincidence, but something that was predetermined by fate long before our birth. You can believe in this or deny the Japanese truth, but the events that contributed to the life development of today's hero of the article, Yaroslav Levashov (to become what he is now), will make the reader think again about the wise saying.
Yaroslav Levashov: biography and a sign of fate
In the family of a hereditary sailor Dmitry Evgenyevich Levashov, whose father was Rear Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union and commanded military naval bases, on May 26, 1974, the son Yaroslav was born. The boy had the honor to continue the tradition of choosing a future profession. By the way, Dmitry Evgenievich himself, the father of Yaroslav Levashov, was alsodoctor of sciences and headed the research laboratory of oceanography in Moscow. The St. Petersburg Nakhimov School was chosen as the educational institution for education, but the guy was weeded out at the medical commission due to vision problems. In the same year, Yaroslav entered the Moscow University at the Faculty of Computer and Information Technologies. He received his higher education in 1997. As a student, he helped create the most famous Internet resource in Russia, FIDONET, where he immediately became a prominent personality, because he actively argued with users about the operation of used foreign cars. Despite the fact that he was quite a young man at that time, they already listened to him, feeling that the guy really understands the topic he is talking about.
Career
In 1993, Yaroslav Levashov worked for the magazine "Komersant" as an assistant to promote the publication on the pages of the World Wide Web. But not only information technology, cars and computers were of interest to the young man. He is known for writing many articles on travel and tourism, cellular communication and others. Yaroslav Levashov knows quite well the epistolary genre, and the proof of this is the published book "Auto Second Hand - Europe. Defects, accidents, crime", written by himself. Here Levashov gives valuable advice on choosing used cars abroad and warns the reader against many rash decisions that can lead to trouble.
In 1995Yaroslav Levashov became the director of the Autotrade company, which was engaged in the transfer and resale of used foreign cars. It is worth saying that the company under the leadership of Levashov has taken a leading position in the capital. At the same time, the director of "Autotrade" with his friend Mikhail Rogalsky began to develop the auto Internet service, well-known in our country. In 1998, the economic crisis in Russia brought huge losses to the company led by Levashov, and he decided to retrain the business: Autotrade began to restore cars that had been in an accident.
Faced with a huge flow of cars and their owners who had been in an accident, Yaroslav Levashov realized that many people in emergency situations are lost and do not know what to do in the event of a collision. Autocrash is a portal to help such citizens, created by Levashov and is the oldest such resource on the Web.
Thanks to his popularity on the Internet, Levashov was noticed by the producers of the main channel of Russian television. Now car critic Yaroslav Levashov is the permanent host of the popular weekly program "Main Road".
Levashov's car
A huge number of those who follow the life of Yaroslav Levashov and do not miss a single phrase he said about vehicles are interested in what kind of car the auto expert drives. Once he shared this information: Levashov's choice is a left-hand drive Toyota Crown 1967from a limited edition for Europe.
Love for Lexus
By the way, Yaroslav Levashov, whose photo is presented in the article, confessed his sincere love for Lexus cars. The Internet site with the same name invented by him is the main proof of this. And I would also like to add that Levashov brought to life a lot of smart and popular ideas. His genuine interest in technological progress and innovation is admirable. It is possible that after a little time, he will open up a lot of interesting resources to the world, which, just like now, will be in demand by users.
