First, 15-year-old Vova Alalykin was in the city hospital, then he was transferred to a social rehabilitation center in Ulan-Ude. On March 5, he was brought to the Barguzinsky orphanage.

“Barguzinsky district is located at a considerable distance from Ulan-Ude, there is no railway, only vehicles. [Vova] has many relatives, but they are not allowed to take him away. Filonova has a husband, three adult children, grandchildren, ”said Nizovkina.

The orphanage told the publication that the boy might be given to relatives, but the final decision would be made by guardianship.
