Very sad story. Likely his own mother tried to kill him as an infant, like some mothers did, because she was unwed and couldn't be burdened by a child, especially during the war.

It's horrible that anyone would do that, but we should be glad that he turned out to have such a sharp mind.

That is sad, for him to realize it so much later.
But it does seem he had a relatively happy childhood, you know, as much as one could in the USSR. Maybe his mom, after her baby wouldn't die, thought that she was meant to keep him.
With all the accidents he's had, it does seem he is blessed to be alive.
That being said, the liberals should be outraged that soviet Russia wasn't giving away late-term abortions upon demand.

If you want to read a book about the life of a child in the Soviet Union during WWII then you might consider, "The Painted Bird" by Jerzey Kosinski.
It will haunt you the rest of your life.

I got needled mercilessly when I was a child, but nothing like that.

Three needles -- with lengths of 6, 5.4, and 4 centimetres -- and an average thickness of 0.01 millimetres each. Damn thin needles.

It would seem that an MRI would have been very dangerous for this fellow!

He lived and obviously she was able to take care of him. He's alive. "Mom" probably murdered his siblings too. If he gets to her grave, I hope he has time to unzip...
