He was born on May 19, 1936 in Ukraine in the village of Misailovka, Kiev region in a large peasant family. By his first profession he was a geologist. He left on foot and traveled by various means of transport, including dog and deer sleds, the most severe areas and areas of the Russian Far North: Yakutia, Kolyma, Chukotka, Kamchatka, the islands of the Arctic Ocean.
He worked for a long time as a journalist for central newspapers and magazines. Then he "seasoned" for several years. He made four voyages around the world and visited many countries.
But no matter what Alexander Semenovich did, he never betrayed his main vocation - literary creativity. He began publishing his poems and small children’s stories at the age of 12. And his first book saw the light when its author was barely twenty years old. Then they came out quite often. For the most part, these are literary, artistic and journalistic books written on the materials collected by the author in his wanderings. This is a novel-research “Ways of the Great Russian” (about N.N. Miklouho-Maclay), “Tales of the Cold South”, “Golden Continent”, “Gold for BAM”, books for children and youth.
The last decades of his life, A.S. devoted to the study and comprehension of the history and writing of Ancient (pre-Christian) Russia, the lexicology of the writing of ancient languages, mainly long gone out of use, but which reflected the early stages of the development of civilization of the world and sheds light on the emergence of modern civilizations. Only excerpts were published from this study, as the author intended to continue work on this topic. However, sudden death did not allow this intention to be realized.
On August 25, 2003, Alexander Semyonovich Ivanchenko died suddenly, a writer, journalist, sailor, researcher of writing and history of Ancient (pre-Christian) Russia.
Alexander Semyonovich was buried in Moscow, where he lived most of his life, in the Rakitka cemetery.
