This tale was widely publicized 15 years ago. Vladik, an ordinary schoolboy from Dobryanka, operates a household in the house on his own and looks after his semi-paralyzed mother. People all throughout the world were stunned, some admired, and others were perplexed: how could this be?

This family’s situation is really difficult. The boy’s father drank, and his mother couldn’t stand it and left him. She settled in a modest hamlet house with her small child because they had nowhere else to go!

It was difficult, there was not enough money, but there was enough for two people to eat. When Vlad was 8 years old, trouble happened in their family — his mother had a stroke, and then she was paralyzed.

His father was not alive at the time. And a very young schoolboy was left with this misery alone. His nearest prospect is an orphanage. But Vlad wasn’t the kind of man who resigns to his fate, he wouldn’t leave his mother. Like a real man, he would do anything to get her back on her feet.

There were also moments when it was very difficult. My mother’s condition worsened, and she stopped talking. But the boy did not give up. Every evening he sat down with a book next to his mother and taught her to speak and pronounce sounds again.

Unfortunately, Vlad could not fully cure Tatiana, her treatment required a lot of money. He didn’t have any. But the guy did not give up, he did everything possible, everything that he could do just to make it easier for his mother.

And his efforts were rewarded — his mother started talking again, yes, not as well as before, but still, it was progressing. Vlad was lucky, a neighbor took custody of him, she settled all the issues in social services, but then the boy needs to cope on his own.

Vlad and his mother were discovered by the media when he was 16 years old. Almost no one was unaffected by this incident, and even the officials stepped in to assist the youngster. For all, consider how he looked after his mother, cooking, washing, and cleaning.

The most intriguing aspect of Vlad’s story is that he did not drop out of school. He also went to the sports sections and made significant improvements. He was always lauded by his coach, who thought he was the best of his students.

And on the personal front, Vlad is doing well. He and Nastya have been together since high school, they fell in love with each other and became a couple. Thus, he was no longer alone with his misfortune, Nastya helped him with caring for his sick mother.

Now that the guy’s 24, he’s a welder and works in his hometown. The family moved from an old wooden house to an apartment given to them by the local authorities. They still support the Kudryashov family.

Vlad is still working tirelessly on a bright future for his family. A kind, brave and hardworking guy is sure that everything will be fine with his mother. And his story will forever remain in the hearts of people, terrifying and exciting at the same time.
