The tiny retired engineer claimed little Vlad - who she nicknamed Vova - spent his early childhood in the village from when he was two-and-a-half.

Telling of how her son’s childhood trauma forced on him by his stepfather, Vera said: “He didn't beat Vova, but he didn't hide his dislike towards him.“The day would go by without him saying a word to the child. Vova was suffering, and hated him, but he was also afraid of the man and didn’t dare to raise his voice.
Vera told how her boy’s tough time in her care ended after she fled his drunken stepfather to her parents inShe told The Sun: “My husband was a quarrelsome man, liked to pick fights, drank a lot and was something of a womaniser as well, although he loved me. “That’s the last I saw my boy. This will be my biggest regret till the day I die, that I let my little boy be taken from my arms.”
“Later I learned my father took him to a military gymnasium , saying: I’ve taken him to a place where they will make a real man out of him”.
