'd they reserved for children many are ill some have chronic conditions their parents cannot or may not care for them. instead of their mothers they have a boycott who works for an ngo called women of eurasia. the ngo takes care of children from disadvantaged families. nor up i'm 55 years for girls and boys. why don't you look at have brought a hedgehog. to me you know. why that. i that don't be afraid nobody will hate you i'm here. you know you did you miss me my golden girl i missed your to.

look ahead shark. the other piece. i will go mama i work as a mom all day long i do everything that matters to. you. most of the children only spend a few weeks here. because she needs peace and quiet she's tired. she's swallowing too much air. but some stay for several months until they are sent on to children's homes or adopted. the littlest ones. seem small and so now because. many of them were simply abandoned by their own mothers because their mothers said after that they didn't want to keep the child to be thought of sometimes because their hiv positive. but those children are 1st

brought to us in the hospital to be examined what i'm some of the children have had to be removed from junkies apartments where the parents are in drugs when you get the child is running around on its own you need it up you know and the parents are basically and we sponsor you again when you're the quad. 1000000 600000 babies were born in russia in 282300 of them were abandoned right after their. around 44000 children are officially registered as orphans in more than 1300 children's homes across the country the birth rate in russia has been lower than the death rate for years so the state has created incentives for women to have children a family receives half a 1000000 roubles around $6500.00 euros per child as a one time payment earmarked for its future education for living costs the scheme is supposed to strengthen families but hundreds of children learn the word mama

here in the hospital that's what they called. the national this child had to be taken away from her parents at 4 and a half months her mother messed up once in her life that's why her daughter is here also. in the moment but i hope she'll get our act together again and then the girl can return to the family until then she has to stay with us. we're presented around. when something. so that in the morning there's washing dressing and brushing their teeth we do. the business that's also the morning routine over 1000 kilometers to the north east in the skins kaia in siberia. the children here are older and they start the day at 7 am with exercises.

16 year old that only cut teflon out is one of russia's nearly $17000000.00 schoolchildren. up. to. done it now before breakfast shower make your bed and brush your teeth. there are only come lives in this boarding school with 200 other girls and boys from the region her parents are reindeer herders and members of the indigenous hunting ethnic group for generations they have followed their herds of reindeer in the north of russia. but for the past 10 years this boarding school has been a surrogate family. i've grown used to the teachers and i like it at

school better than at my home. brew skin is located in the boreal forest or a tiger of western siberia just 2000 people live here half of them are hunty muncie or next together with around 30 other groups they are officially recognised as the indigenous small number of peoples of the north and some of these ethnic groups have fewer than 200 members and are nearing extinction they are spread across an area that covers nearly 2 thirds of russia. like their own account many of the students only see their parents twice a year for a few weeks in the winter and for 3 months in the summer vacation the rest of the year the state takes care of them providing education and a dormitory free of charge in particular in northern russia where many nomadic

people live there are dozens of boarding schools like this one. and this was young school starts at 8 am and goes until 2 in the afternoon then we have nap time until 4 a 4 we get a snack and then we do our homework later we have sports basketball or volleyball or we go for a walk outdoors. patriotic education is an important part of schooling in russia it's supposed to instill a love of the motherland which needs to be defended. the students are obliged to take a course called life safety skills. some of them volunteer for an additional occasion this. was.

splashed at the beginning of the school year they ask us if we want to join a military club there you learn to march shoot and take apart a weapon well if you want to you can say you'll join younger but it just a hunch and when it can and. most of those who do are boys but there are some girls too like me for a while. i like weapons. the wrong i like learning to use them no matter what mood i'm in it so it is what i was. wrong even if it ruins my nails but it's pretty exciting every kind of weapon not just machine guns until. it's gone.

i'm not scared of them i like them. are representative of the next generation prefers using his fists as weapons we need him in the northwest of russia in campin up near st petersburg. there's a lot of other see it if you just get out of it. and his name is chief he and michelle enough 23 years old one major 90 tall weight

82 kilograms. ok did you get it at my hands hurt and i got hit on the head richard meale feet all of which gets me but i still said to him but i was lucky my opponent fell over it was lucky for me now i can feel the adrenaline in my blood and i feel good. this kind of no holds barred fighting has only a few rules you basically keep on hitting until your opponent can no longer defend himself kitty and michelle i love has been doing this sport for 2 years his nickname in the ring is the bouncer. here reputation counts fighters want to be known as the toughest the quickest and the best other nicknames include wild latino fearsome farmer mighty migrant there are believed to be tens of thousands of young men who fight like this or similarly in russia

a sizable fraction of the nearly 9000000 men between 20 and 29 years old. for kids boxing is about more than just the show this fall brown was. a move from soccer to no holds barred fighting are about but it's all starting and there's a number. and used to be really crazy about football before the wall of the but serving in the army changed me to go there but i got out i wasn't so excited about soccer anymore so i started looking for something else. here than after work i couldn't just sit around at home i needed to find an outlet for all my energy. dolling theory so i got into the ring and i won my 1st fight with the bill with sort of the 2nd year old but then the 3rd. kid real recognizes that the show fights are brutal but he says fighting helps him to be a nicer guy in everyday life he claims it can help prevent men from being violent in other contexts at home with their family for example domestic violence is

a huge problem in russia but can boxing really help protect families and society as a whole. the more it looks on those that are 3 separate those i experience an explosion of emotion that we don't you're still going to soccer hooligans with a bad time and so on then there's a 3rd bomb goes in your thought are we don't hate each other or respect our partner but on your bike even when he kicks you in the head you have very good. offer not just at the prison but you have to release the tension the tension of daily life. otherwise you start drinking like some people others turn to drugs not of your another type might just fade away and die because of the monotony of life in russia. so to relax some take a parachute jump in some take a drink and a bit is when you're on the 3rd time i guess but i'll fight with their fists your bring your. i guess i that is good. though somebody

said i was going to it's so important for the little ones to eat well this is my pleasure to see where this thing is when they don't want to eat. at the beginning they stressed out and have no appetite in the new. room but soon they settle and then start easing banks and then they begin growing into health improves. yes. you know what is yet the some of the children have been spoiled with sweets and how. when they come here they have to eat her agency. at 1st they refuse but they have no choice and then they start easing everything goes on and i feel. just opening useful food is coming. here is your compost. so just sit there. are.

'd a nice man is there. a boy because 24 hour shift at the hospital is over. and. it's time for the 40 year old to go home to her own family. who work as a professional mother is paid for by women of eurasia the ngo was founded 15 years ago to help the disadvantaged in russia abandoned children people with aids

disabled people women in prison youths from underprivileged families. the organization has plenty to do. according to official statistics around 1000000 people in russia are hiv positive. i can't. believe his organization also accepts funding from abroad which means that she and other employees are listed as foreign agents by russian justice officials it's a stigma but yelena doesn't let it get to her. i think you must know it's quite a. with the dutch beginning. we work in several shifts. sometimes 24 hours at a time sometimes only during the day of the 2 days on shift then

a 2 day break. when children from an orphanage come in for an operation we spend the entire time with them on a surgical ward to take care of having the right to be here sometimes they need just 3 days to recover but sometimes they stay for 2 months when we visit them every day the worst thing is when they start crying and calling out mama mama. would just watch them we know that from our own children from when we take them to kindergarten and that it wants to stay there. it's heartbreaking to see how they don't want to let me go. but don't get ready but i have a trick i distract the kids i say i'm coming the next day i give them something to play with something sweetie. you know the stars they were then the nurse comes and i leave just between the back that helps him deal with the separation of car.

is actually a cook by profession but 7 years ago she left her own job and has been taking care of disadvantaged children ever since she earns $22000.00 rubles a month the equivalent of 270 year olds about half the average monthly wage in russia with that she supports her family her 2 children and her father on her own elaina's husband left. these days the family of 4 lives in a 2 room apartment on the outskirts of chelyabinsk. did i was it a. good. did you take your own we built it across the yes or no. but your grandpa to the table. national this is our specialty buckwheat with milk which. i dassent

tea with us. it's the start of the family evening with her father alexander and her son vladimir her daughter a catarina isn't home yet. paul martin a ago was brought in who previously. she cry cry. every hour to. her mother as pregnant and i had to go to the hospital there was no one else at home 2nd child yes the go didn't want to eat she was really upset. and i did the things. she stood at the door calling murmur mama. but then she did stop playing cards with the guys she was curious like all children . good luck with my hair. that's nice.

clean by a priest stories like mass up part of my work of source would be a mystery. if i had to carry it around inside me all the time it would be unbearable for those thoughts about the car but when i tell my family about what happens to the children. they give me support very poignantly because i live with but you were bright enough with a crisis and you know it relieves me to have my loved ones listen sorry. so i can give my wounds to my own children i need you jim yes them. thank you. thank you. nice children also only see their parents rarely. last.

from june to august it's summer vacation for vet only contests and her schoolmates . therefore by helicopter to the nomad settlements there are no roads or railway lines through the taiga here. only the truma gun river can be traversed by boat it's named after the name hunty go it. is already starting to feel a bit sour. on the women and she's looking forward to seeing her family. but she knows she'll miss her school which is said to be one of the best. in a radius of 100 kilometers.

above a certain school i started 1st grade back when the school opened we were the 1st pupils that was 10 years ago. into this debt according to a large scale survey of young people carried out in 2018 by a russian institute with links to the kremlin most russian children would not miss their schools what do we call our traditional dwelling. oh not as a child that's right a true and in the middle of it your home is a fine place. 7 out of 10 students surveyed said they didn't like school because they had too few subjects that were useful for their lives another study says that students in russia are more interested in environmentalists topics than in russian politics that's certainly true of it only could tefl enough and we'll find out more about her love of nature later. this. week.

but 1st back to college been up. to amateur fighter kid in china who faces very different problems in everyday life. this is what his working day looks like. a book with card. kill works in a small mobile phone store in a large shopping mall. and i was under the knife here or she's a. beauty surely the focal point of this choice of. my other but i'm in sales and one of us has to win either me or the customer it's like in the ring. maybe there's water inside. what was known maybe or a short circuit will have to change the button how soon will we know. after

it's been changed. a lot on my show but i missed a fuck about 1st i worked as a security guard for a month. there wasn't so great because it was at the other into town then i started here 1st only once in awhile then full time it's been good so far. kiddo works 12 hour shifts 5 days a week. and i didn't you know i have to make a conscious effort to stay calm and that's also important in the ring because negative emotions won't do you any good in a fight you know you shouldn't let your feelings take over and what you need to keep your cool. not on board sitting here at work i sometimes feel like i'm going to blow a fuse when too many customers want something it wants or when they're difficult but i can let all those emotions out in the ring i want someone i've got

a video. and emotions are now the topic at the general middle school in the. thank you. so much good luck that. was not the most important thing in the dance is to show our national character you know you gotta be modest when. you have to look at the audience you know where to look right never down at the floor. and remember the graceful arm movements be graceful. and don't forget to look to the side to see who was going where. you got there. and smile unifor girls have beautiful smile so here we go let you know that.

you have to show modesty in advance. not everyone was smiling like you. i like your teachers sometimes there are strict with us but then it's our own fault . the teachers in the school only scold us if we deserve it they're pretty fair. there is also of importance here as well as safety kill me high love is training for his next fight. itself could be

forced i have to bandage my fingers the ones on the problems of my hands i can break a finger or just look at one anything can happen it's. to protect myself ahead of time but it is to fish here kitty all comes to this gym twice or 3 times a week but he doesn't have a coach. issued that he may say give me. just that i want to spend the money. here in your fit in i mean i know that i do some movements incorrectly. like that of course and you know for example when you punch you have to use your whole body like my legs are so untrained and wooden that i can't manage to do it so there's not going to be used to bring them in actually i should find a real treasure somewhere else it's going to be chips. coincidence you know any street fighting it's usually not the perfect technique that wins but your mental willpower in just a few days to deal will take part in the championship final and maybe in his next

when. i get by and restrike. and stretch that's nice. little. moments off children need a mother they're doing that's why we hug them the boys they need human warmth they have to feel that we are taking care of them from watching it that helps them get well fast with the physical contact tells them that they are not alone i does not come over to us. this quit is. a machine women survive that by. the i. shall we joke on us where is the green pencil we did it rode away you know it's give and take little things like i'm happy in my past the happiness

onto us we share the happiness about their 1st steps fs teeth your 1st words they discovered the world of the mirror. and it's a world where they are no longer so alone even if it is limited by the 4 walls of a hospital room. this is what i need this constant cuddling why do you. think it's like a never ending childhood i do have great. you know my duty worsley was a bunch of my own children have outgrown their so mom stopped hugging us. i tired of that kind of attention but i'm not i have so much motherly love inside me and i found an outlet for it this is a win win situation for all of us the children are not happy any so you could also cut from where you. are

as. the children of the reindeer herders delight in scenes like this it's part of the traditional life of their parents in the tundra. the tundra biome lies north of the boreal forest the tiger woods there are hardly any trees in the tundra but lots of grass for the reindeer and lots of room for grazing. at the boarding school the boys practiced for a no magic life with lassos instead of basketballs this course is compulsory. and complimentary to the life safety skills course and the weapons trail. in a few days some of the children from the school in the sky out will be hurting reindeer

instead of learning math. it's not a prospect that thrills. she likes the tundra but she'd rather see the reindeer in the local museum. she has mixed feelings about her upcoming trip home. it's tuned on what i don't know i'd rather be here than at home. here i have the girls and boys around me that i've grown up with. i'll miss them when i'm at home. stans it will be strange without them. i'm going to cry. but the time to say goodbye comes anyway. to a simple use all your heart failure to the right address this us.

also has to pack for the most important fight he's been in to date. this evening is the start of the final round of the championship with participants from all over russia. from could be not wants to be up there with the best of them . getting ill is striving for one thing victory. no matter what it costs. you know to me sure you nervous this is the biggest competition of my life. you know to show that every fight is a challenge but this one special shows for females that i'm. here to look.

after the seam in the last year was to shows not just on the last year was when i was preparing my main focus was on endurance that's my weak point there's the other is my punch. that also factor in the states so i train both of those things on my own and starting the rest or superior 3 or. biased as i feel like when you go gaza and you beyond will be new that is appreciated of course but there is a vision is just over the p.c. stores because a visionary we have rescued a bear to show you she is throwing your best course or you are pounding if not the little that is yours and look at the ports in it because i can tell you a little over the years it's an awful lot going to go our well they're going to get it is a parishioner. to the listeners there but you said the family is the only way to get us to do it but other than i do have part of most of this compound the leave the body is not the initials of you you're going to have to go it's a bit of a part of you will talk to you because. you don't. want to go.

through all this was bullshit was going somewhere or just do something you don't do so. you literally. are going to come to this and. meanwhile somewhere down there in the taiga the world's largest forest the only because family is waiting. she takes one last photo with her friends. all the pupils from the boarding school in ruskin will be flown out to the non magic settlement with their parents live with their reindeer. look of course sad when they leave so we're all so happy for the story you tell me

with their parents have not been missing well yes look at that's all just so excited because now all be flying out the same tired of sitting. just a few minutes to go before the fight tend. pairs of fighters are about to enter the ring kid he has met his opponent for the 1st time today what is he thinking right now. because i'm a last minute although not friends but we mustn't hate each other. for just letting our energy it's emotional release there's nothing more to it up and what's going to

. cut i'm going to cut down for a good time to take a look at the chutzpah to suss him his cut up a little bit of a disciple no such thing i would like cuts likely. clear. oh what the.

thank you. i. do. it was very good of you. is it good to. kill gets 5000 rubles cash 60 euros but for open your mouth. hurt my cheekbones hurt that bite down harder where exactly.

ok thanks this was kitty in the highlands 6 victory in a row where it was not even if i can feel the adrenaline it's pure release the ultimate feeling i'm happy to get out. my place the poets a few 100 left gone from good to rote to be loved what happiness what happiness e-cards to love. but happiness is subjective it's in the eye of the behold. elaina feels happy mothering other people's children. play the garden i wish every child had a mom and dad i didn't have a job but the children would be happy most of those who need to be given the will live my dream is for there to be no more abandoned children that we have wonderful words. that. i did only come from the taiga

can't imagine living without the other girls in her school but she also can't imagine life without the boreal forest. leaf leaf. yet it gets missed so i was born in the forest a new player and my parents didn't go to the hospital after. playing. well but i always miss it. a. i mean just some box i love to see my dogs bark for joy and my family is happy to see me all but i used to live on the set of steps show called. to.

be a little. witch that was my dream to be a police officer or maybe later to join the military lady of what i'm a little down in the belly am. so as to defend her happiness as her course life safety skills teaches her. they don't make a kid he'll feel similarly in this respect he was one of the $270000.00 young men in russia called up for military service every year. the female boss an every man should be able to protect himself his family his friends and this country not to will it takes courage also that it be otherwise you have to hit before you get hit. with those feelings about their homeland and part one after russians. from birth to
