Life

Alexios Schandermani was born in Tehran , Iran . His father was a leftist politician. In 1953, the CIA overthrew the Iranian government and brought Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi to power. His father was arrested and sentenced to death. But he managed to escape from prison and drive to the USSR , where he was granted political asylum. In 1961 Alexios Schandermani emigrated with his mother to the USSR, where the family was united. In the same year he began his school education in Moscow . Four years later he was sent to the Interdom international boarding school in Ivanovo . In 1971 he finished his school education. From 1974 to 1978 he studied at the Pedagogical University in Tajikistan .

From 1983 to 1991 he studied Slavic Studies at the Free University of Berlin .

In 1995 Alexios Schandermani was deployed in the crisis area of ​​the Chechnya conflict. This was part of a project delegation of the International Committee of the Red Cross ICRC . In doing so, he initially took on the role of a translator. Later he was responsible for the drinking water supply of the city of Grozny and supplied Chechen hospitals in the mountains with medicines. Transporting the wounded was just as much a part of his field of activity as the registration of prisoners of war and the exchange of prisoners. So he established contact with Chechen rebel leader Aslan Maskhadov and negotiated the exchange of prisoners with him. In addition to his Russian language skills, he could constructively use the basic cultural and political knowledge resulting from his Iranian origin.
