The name Anders Breivik is probably known to everyone around the world. That is the name of the Norwegian terrorist who, without blinking an eye, became the murderer of 77 people, more than 150 people were injured of varying severity. However, the forensic medical examination did not recognize him as crazy. Of course, humanity still cannot understand how a person with a normal psyche could commit such a crime, and then admit to committing a crime, but not consider himself guilty. We think it will be interesting for you to find out in what conditions this cold-blooded killer lived and raised.
Breivik Anders: biography, life story
He was born in 1979, on February 13 in London. His father, Jens David Breivik, is an economist by profession, working for the Norwegian diplomatic mission in the UK, and his mother, Wenke Bering, is a nurse. He had two half-sisters, both on father and on mother.
When Anders was not yet two years old, his family broke up. A mother with two children returned to Oslo and settled in the rich in the metropolitan area of Skoyen, the father remained in England with his daughter from his first marriage. Soon Wenke remarried. This time her husband was a military man, a major in the Norwegian army. Jens Breivik also remarried at an embassy employee. He did not lose touch with his son. Almost all the holidays Anders spent in his father's house in Normandy.
Anders Breivik in childhood was an obedient child, a sort of sissy. First, he studied at Smestend Elementary School, then at Rhys High School and Hartwig Nissen High School.
Character difficulties
In his teens, Anders Breivik became interested in graffiti culture and painted on walls and fences at night. When his father found him doing this, he was terribly angry with the boy. After this quarrel, they practically did not communicate. By the way, in the same period, the father divorced his third wife. Any attempts by his son to renew relations were accepted with hostility. Ian had four children, but he did not maintain relations with any of them. It was also difficult for young Anders to communicate with peers, so after graduation, he decided to graduate remotely, online, at the Norwegian School of Management. Friends say that until the age of 30 he practically did not leave home, avoiding direct contacts with people. He never had a girlfriend, with the exception of some casual one-day acquaintances.
Adulthood
From 1996, Anders Breivik worked as a salesman in one of the consulting companies for a year, and from 1999 to 2003 he was an employee of the call center at Telia. In 2005, he already founded the company for the processing and storage of information data, but it lasted only 3 years and by 2008 went bankrupt. Breivik also managed to serve in the army, where he learned to shoot. Since 2009, he founded a company that was engaged in the cultivation of vegetables, which allowed him to purchase a large number of chemical fertilizers, from which later explosives were made.
Political Views
Unsociable in his youth, Anders began to get involved in politics at a more mature age, joined the Progress Party - the largest political association in the country - and participated in crowded party meetings with pleasure. He even held some small posts in the youth wing of the organization. Since the 2000s, there has been a sharp bias in his political views towards nationalism and extreme radicalism. He had a special hatred for the peoples professing Islam. He was deeply convinced that their presence in his country was devastating for Norway.
And then he publishes a manifesto in which he declares that he is disappointed in the peaceful democratic methods of fighting the Islamists and therefore considers armed intervention in this process necessary. He also joins the Norwegian Masonic lodge "St. Olaf". However, he does not become a convinced freemason and even criticizes the order, for which the fraternity decides to expel him (2000).
A year later, “searching for himself” leads Breivik to the organization of the “Knights Templar.” Here he receives the secret name Sigurd. Since he had experience working with a data bank, he also performs the same mission here, collecting information about various “interesting” organizations and personalities.Here he is further strengthened in his anti-Muslim moods.In short, before Anders Breivik killed 77 people, having committed one of the most brutal terrorist acts in the 21st century, his hatred of migrants, especially from Asian countries, increased to incredible p zmerov.
Some life details
By the way, in his youth, one of the few friends of Anders Breivik was a Muslim, a native of Pakistan. It was with him that he began to engage in graffiti. Thanks to his bizarre drawings, Anders got the nickname Mord (translated as "murder").
Favorite authors of the future terrorist were I. Kant and Adam Smith, and among politicians - Winston Churchill and Vladimir Putin. He also dreamed of meeting Pope Benedict Sixteenth. Breivik was fond of hip hop, dancing, went to the club of shooting fans, went in for sports. He was not interested in women, he said that they would distract him from his main idea.
Breivik devoted several years of his life to the creation of a manifesto, which consisted of one and a half thousand pages. He also shot a short summary of his thesis. The key ideas of his manifesto are the denunciation of multiculturalism, emancipation, homosexuality and decadence.
Psychological picture
After the commission of a double crime, when Anders Breivik killed dozens of civilians with explosives and small arms, the police, telling about him and his behavior, say that he left the impression of an absolutely adequate, calm, polite and balanced person, but a little reserved and uncommunicative.
Crime day
During the attack, Breivik put on the uniform of the Norwegian police. As a weapon he had a gun and a carbine. He also had a fake ID, which he showed at the ferry. Since the bombing had already been carried out in Oslo and the police were on their ears, he convinced the staff of the ferry station that he was a secret agent and wanted to get to Uteya island to ensure the safety of the camp. In this regard, all members of the camp were gathered in one place. And he began to fire at live targets. The killings lasted about 90 minutes. After that, he, as if having accomplished an important mission, surrendered to the police without any resistance.
Anders Breivik. Prison conditions
After the verdict was announced - 21 years in prison - Breivik was placed in solitary confinement, the area of which is 24 square meters. meter. It consists of a bedroom, a gym and an office. He is not forbidden to correspond, he can walk in the courtyard under the supervision of guards, play sports and even receive distance education.
Nevertheless, he was dissatisfied with the conditions of detention and in 2012 sent a complaint about life in prison. It turns out that he did not like the attitude of the guards, the rubber handle on the door that rubs his hand, the quality of the food. And imagine, he won the trial. The conditions of his detention were revised and improved, and a large compensation amount was received in his bank account. In a word, today a cold-blooded killer, who was also not recognized as crazy, lives in conditions that many millions of honest citizens around the world dream of.
