Body of work
His main academic works are about neurodivergent crime. He is most famous for his theory of 'vaginocapitalism', which is a theory that women collectively deny sex to men in order to extract wealth from them. This is not a new theory however, being previously articulated by the American Marxist Mary Marcy in Women as Sex Vendors.
Alex is also known for his environmental activism and his run-ins with his local anti-extremism center, which has tortured Alex once and detained Alex multiple times over disagreements about construction and incel rhetoric. Alex has also been a victim of punitive psychiatry in Russia, which never really went away after the USSR disappeared. As a lawyer, Alex has successfully fought against further illegal instances of punitive psychiatry against him.
