From an early age, the boy was very fond of drawing, so after graduating from school, the family advised him to enter the architectural institute. Already in his 3rd year at the university, he became known to many people by the fact that, as a student, he organized an architectural studio with a friend, and he was called nothing more than Varlamov Ilya Aleksandrovich. The student's parents are educated and intelligent people. They graduated together at one time from the Moscow Aviation Institute and worked all their lives for the good of the country. My father worked in logistics, and my mother even participated in large projects to develop spacecraft.

Usually, various gossip and rumors appear around famous and famous personalities on the Internet. This did not pass by and Ilya.

Ilya Alexandrovich Varlamov considers himself an urbanist, therefore he is very critical and active in the landscaping and improvement of Russian cities, which he often covers in his blog. In particular, the young architect touches upon the sore subject of parking, which is familiar to most residents of big cities, as well as the lack of landscaping and the widespread abundance of advertising, which spoils the appearance of megacities. He criticizes the construction of high-rise buildings even in small towns, believing that this will inevitably lead to crime in anthill areas.

So the lion's share of the blog is devoted to the state of many Russian cities and the problems of their inhabitants.

But he had to abandon this venture, as his candidacy received only 1,500 votes out of 10,000.
