He graduated from the Suvorov Military School in Leningrad and the St. Petersburg Humanitarian University of Trade Unions (director department, acting and directing course with Zinovy Korogodsky) in 1997.
In 2003, he was invited to the newly created Petersburg Animation Studio as a candidate for the main screenwriter of the Kikoriki series.
His reaction to the film after he saw it himself was quite negative: Literally, the script differs from the production in a couple of scenes, but the question is not in the letter, but in the spirit.
In 2012, Aleksey Lebedev left the Petersburg Animation Studio to start production of his new project, The Nuclear Forest, but the series closed in 2014 due to low finances.
Since 2018, Aleksey Lebedev cooperates with Soyuzmultfilm and is the author of two animated shows, Pirate School and Adventures of Petya and the Wolf.
