Ah, it’s such a shame you can’t film visits in the penal colony. We’d be flooding the internet with tears of tenderness right now. For the first time, we brought Oleg’s younger son, Ostap (the one closer to me), to visit him. He wasn’t even a year old when Oleg was taken away. Now he’s three and a half. So Oleg remembers him only as a little bundle and knows him from photos, while Ostap only knows that he has some kind of mythical dad named Oleg whom he has never seen. And at last they met. It was very moving. Ostap trusted him right away and climbed into his arms. And the robot quickly passed to Oleg behind Ostap’s back — “look what Dad has for you!” — sealed the deal. Love and hugs.
