There is one Japanese wisdom that says that accidents are not accidental at all. Everything that happens in our life is not a coincidence, but that which was predetermined by fate long before our birth. One can believe in this or deny Japanese truth, but those events that contributed to the life formation of today's hero of the article Yaroslav Levashov (to become who 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 the hereditary sailor Dmitry Evgenievich Levashov, whose father was the rear admiral of the fleet of the Soviet Union and commanded military naval bases, on May 26, 1974, son Yaroslav was born. The boy was honored to continue the tradition of choosing a future profession. By the way, Dmitry Evgenievich himself, the father of Yaroslav Levashov, in combination with the seafarer case, was still a doctor of science and was the head of the oceanography research laboratory in Moscow. The St. Petersburg Nakhimov School was chosen as an educational institution , however , the guy was dropped out of the medical commission because of vision problems. In the same year, Yaroslav entered Moscow University at the Faculty of Computer and Information Technologies. He graduated in 1997. As a student, he helped create the FIDONET Internet resource, the most famous in Russia, on which he immediately became a prominent person, because he was actively debating with users about the operation of used foreign cars. Despite the fact that he was a fairly 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 in the Komersant magazine as an assistant to promote the publication on the pages of the World Wide Web. But not only information technology, cars and computers were interesting to the young man. He is known for writing many articles on the subject of travel and tourism, mobile communications and others. Yaroslav Levashov speaks quite well of the epistolary genre, and the book “Auto Second Hand - Europe. Defects, Accidents, Crime”, written by himself, is proof of this. Here Levashov gives valuable advice on choosing used cars abroad and warns the reader from many rash decisions that can cause trouble.
In 1995, Yaroslav Levashov became director of Avtotrade, which was engaged in the distribution and resale of used foreign cars. It is worth saying that the company under the leadership of Levashov took the leading position in the capital. At the same time, the director of "Avtotrade" with his friend Mikhail Rogalsky began to develop the well-known Internet service auto in our country. In 1998, the economic crisis in Russia brought huge losses to the company led by Levashov, and he decided to re-qualify the business: Avtotrade began to recover cars in the accident.
Faced with a huge stream 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 case of a collision. Avtokrash - a portal to help such citizens, created by Levashov and is the oldest such resource on the Web.
Due to its 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 presenter of the popular weekly Main Road program.
Levashov's car
A huge number of those who follow the life of Yaroslav Levashov and do not miss a single phrase said by him regarding automotive equipment are interested in what kind of car an auto expert is driving. Once he shared this information: Levashov's choice is the 1967 left-hand drive Toyota Crown from a limited series released for Europe.
Love for Lexus
By the way, Levashov Yaroslav, whose photo is presented in the article, confessed his sincere love for Lexus cars. The website of the same name invented by him is the main proof of this. And I would 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, it will open up a lot of interesting resources to the world, which, as now, will be in demand by users.
