He immigrated to the United States in 1989 from Moscow, where he graduated from the Moscow Institute of Consumer Technology (currently the Russian State University for Tourism and Services) in 1983. After several years in New York City, he became a manager and started a children’s entertainment and community center called Funorama, in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn.

Political career

Alec Brook-Krasny’s first political campaign was in 2000 for the New York State Assembly. In 2001, he ran for the New York City Council. Although he won the endorsement of The New York Times, he lost the election to Domenic M. Recchia, Jr.

In 2006, State Assemblywoman Adele Cohen retired and Brook-Krasny declared his candidacy for her position. He won the Democratic primary election, with 3,101 votes to Kagan’s 2,958, and then won the general election over the Republican candidate, Patricia B. Laudano, 10,423 to 4,139 votes.

Alec Brook-Krasny was reelected to his assembly seat in 2008, 2010, 2012, and 2014. During his tenure, he served on the Housing, Aging, Cities, Election Law, and Governmental Employees Committees. On June 11, 2015, he announced his resignation from the assembly effective July 7, to work in the private sector.

Brook-Krasny was succeeded by Pamela Harris, who was selected as the Democratic nominee by a party committee and then won the special general election in November. Harris, like Brook-Krasny, would later face criminal charges and she was succeeded by Mathylde Frontus in 2018. In 2022, Brook-Krasny announced that he is joining the Republican Party and ending his membership with the Democratic Party.

He ran for the New York State Assembly again as a Republican, successfully defeating Frontus. Brook-Krasny would receive criticism in January 2023, for hiring Katherine Khatari to his staff. Khatari, the first female elected to the Brooklyn Democratic Committee in 2018, formerly worked as a community associate for Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez.

Khatari became a Republican and a vocal supporter of Donald Trump, openly praising the January 6 United States Capitol attack after attending Donald Trump’s rally on the same day. Brook-Krasny expressed “serious concerns” about her pro-January 6th post, however, still hired her as his constituent services manager.

In 2017, as part of “Operation Avalanche”, Brook-Krasny was arrested on charges of healthcare fraud. He was indicted along with eight other individuals and corporate entities with schemes to illegally sell prescriptions for over 3.7 million opioid painkillers, to defraud Medicaid and Medicare of millions of dollars, and to commit money laundering through two Brooklyn medical clinics owned by Lazar Feygin. Feygin pleaded guilty to 16 charges including conspiracy, criminal sale of a prescription, and health care fraud.

After a trial that lasted two months, on July 25, 2019, Brook-Krasny was found not guilty of five felony charges of conspiracy, health care fraud, and scheming to defraud the state. A mistrial was declared on the other three misdemeanor commercial bribery charges after the jury could not reach a verdict. The remaining charges against Alec Brook-Krasny were dismissed on Dec 2, 2019, on the grounds that New York’s Special Narcotics Prosecutor lost jurisdiction over the case after it no longer had drug-related charges.

His remarkable achievements have earned him some luxurious lifestyles and some fancy car trips. He is one of the richest and most influential politicians in New York. He stands at an appealing height of 1.75m and has a good body weight which suits his personality.
