Ah, it’s a shame you’re not allowed to 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 bundled-up baby and knows him from photos, while Ostap only knew that he had some kind of mythical dad named Oleg whom he had never seen. And then, at last, they met. It was incredibly moving. Ostap trusted him right away and climbed into his arms. And the robot quickly passed to Oleg behind our backs — "look what Daddy has for you!" — sealed the deal. Love and hugs all around.
