Family
Alexander Fetisov, for whom the family has always been of great importance, often simply does not have the opportunity to devote enough time to her. In an interview in 2012, he admitted that he considers his children the greatest achievement of his life.
He has two of them: the eldest daughter - Elizabeth, the youngest son - Gregory. The age difference in children is quitebig - 15 years. My daughter recently completed her studies at a St. Petersburg university, she is 23 years old.

Statements of a politician in the media
Sometimes interviews appear in the media where Alexander Fetisov, whose biography far from always developed smoothly and successfully, shares his memories and reflects on life values.
Correspondents speak of him as a polite, punctual, amiable, correct and democratic interlocutor. He always answers thoughtfully, not trying to laugh it off. Difficult questions do not scare him.
The most difficult period of his life he considers the time after his dismissal from the army, when in the nineties all attitudes and ideals were lost, withwhich he lived before.
He considers his return to his homeland, to Samara, from the capital, where he served in the General Staff of the Ministry of Defense, in 1992 to be his most correct step.
When asked about the most significant male qualities, he replied that a real man should be distinguished by the ability to take blows and never give up his positions.
About life values
The most valuable thing in his life he considers the advice that his grandmother gave him a long time ago. Once, during a walk, they met a man begging for alms, while it was clearly visible that this was done in a fraudulent way.
Nevertheless, the grandmother gave him money, and when asked by her young grandson why she did it, because it is clearly visible that this is a fraudster, she said that let the sin remain on this person, and not on her.
With this idea that it is necessary to believe people, regardless of external impression, little Sasha was forever remembered and became his life principle.
On ideals
Fetisov considers General Varennikov to be his ideal, one of the real great citizens of the country. At all stages of the life path of this Hero of the Soviet Union, there have always been deeds worthy of respect.
In his younger years, Varennikov was entrusted with bringing the Victory Banner to Moscow. During the August coup, he behaved honestly, without cunning. After his arrest, he considered it wrong to accept an amnesty. According to Fetisov, this general can be set as an example of worthy service to the country and the fulfillment of one's civic duty.
The most negative qualities, according to Fetisov,are hypocrisy and meanness. This is what irritates him most in people.
He dreams of making Samara one of the most comfortable cities for living. He believes that the creation of a worthy future is based not only on increasing financial injections into the region's economy, implementing grandiose projects, organizing football matches of the world championship, but also on acquiring internal self-respect and feeling like worthy city dwellers - patriots of the region and the whole country.
Politics initiatives
During his tenure as leader in the Samara regional branch of United Russia, Fetisov initiated a number of interesting projects at the regional level.
The project called "Summer with a soccer ball" was implemented most efficiently. The project is led by the promotion of a he althy lifestyle, as well as work to improve sports grounds.
Compromising publications
Being constantly in sight, Fetisov, of course, found a lot of ill-wishers who are trying to prick him more painfully in the press. Such, apparently, is the fate of all prominent political figures, regardless of the real deeds that they carry out in their posts.
In particular, regarding A. Fetisov, there is a publication about his allegedly unworthy behavior while traveling abroad.
In the hotels of the United Arab Emirates, after lunch or dinner, you can not wait for the waiter to submit the bill, buttell him the room where he stayed, where the bill will be delivered.
Before leaving the hotel, Fetisov had dinner at a restaurant and indicated someone else's hotel room number. Perhaps this was done simply by mistake, but at the time of passing through customs on departure from the country, he was allegedly detained for some time to clarify the circumstances.
There are other venomous publications that try to defame Fetisov, but ordinary citizens judge politics by his specific contribution, and not by attacks in the yellow press.
Achievements as head of the Samara City Duma
During the period of leadership of the City Duma since 2010, Fetisov did not allow the possibility of building up the historical center of Samara.
At that time, Samara Limited Liability Company "Golden Cheriot", which was owned by Cypriot offshore companies, intended to obtain the status of a zone where commercial development is allowed for two large plots of land in the central part of the city (Mayakovsky Spusk). It was planned to build the buildings of the hotel complex in this place.
The city council rebelled against the company's plans. Public hearings were initiated, as a result of which it was decided to replace the C-1 zone with the R-2 zone, that is, the zone where parks, boulevards and embankments should be located.
Representatives of the public actively opposed the development of these territories. The Cypriot company "Golden Cherriot" filed an application with the arbitration court and demanded to challenge the Duma's decision to change the zoning.
Total judici althe proceedings continued for two years. As a result, in mid-2013, the Supreme Arbitration Court ruled that the decision of the City Duma to ban development in the central part of the city was legal.
