russian journalist anna politkovskaya says the killing may have been orchestrated. by a fugitive russian businessman and a suspected chechen terrorists. but more on this story developments in less than a half an hour from now in the meantime the moving story of a child swap family tragedy that saw special report next here on r.t. stay with us for that if you can. twenty years ago there was a maternity hospital in this building victoria gave birth to her first child here. through this window i showed my husband terrorist on three for the first time. after a long sleepless night of heavy labor and dry it was born he had a small injury from the difficult birth so he was brought to his mother for

breastfeeding already wrapped up after which doctors wouldn't allow her even to hold her own child. i looked at the dawn and the strange thoughts came to me could it be that they had brought me a different baby. a mother of three sons victoria has never really given much thought as to why her eldest child is so much unlike his parents and siblings victoria the main concern has always been to make sure that the boys were well fed properly dressed and happy . husband nicholai treated all his sons equally he never played favorites also any of them as an ugly duckling so when his son was just two years old nicholas drew this picture on the wall of the house only years later did he realize that it had

a much deeper significance. once when we already had kids my wife and i were looking at this picture suddenly it dawned upon us the two whites ones where younger children collin and victor both of them a blond but then there was the black swan dark haired and dark eyed boy on the day how could this happen. peace in the family was nearly shattered when the parents discovered that they had spent the past eighteen years raising someone else's child . it turned out that this one was not ours. it was from another floor. and mom and dad told me that i was not their son. there was another one because they. did not believe it at first. i was immediately offended and shocked. i did not know how to react.

they went away from home with them i talked to my friends calmed down and came back. a shakespearean drama began to unfold in the family when andrew took a mandatory blood test to get a passport he turned out to have the rare type of b. blood where his father and mother were type and a respectively the result surprised even the most experienced doctors. every told me that it was impossible to have a different type of blunt like your parents i took an interest in genetics i found out what i color hair color could inherit a child from his parents then i calmed down for a while. still i was haunted by the idea if andrea was not my child then where was my son. let's look at the most commonly used block type

group which is like a b o system a.b. or has four different types one which is zero a which is to be three and a b. which is four for example in our case we have mother who is type. two. she has either a ill or a eight or eight zero the father is type one and the father has only zero zero the child in question has a blood types three which can be either b. b. or b. zero either the father or the mother or both of them are not the biological parents of the child. for victoria discovering the blood type was just the tip of the iceberg searching through the family's files at home she found old documents that had been untouched for years and those of us along with one andre turned one month

i went to the doctor to measure his height and weight him i was very surprised the baby weight which is three hundred grams at birth but when discharged from hospital he's away it was three thousand two hundred fifty grams. she's height was fifty six centimeters but a month later it was fifty two centimeters back then when i was young i thought that my milk was so bad. the oldest son in the bag a family has always been an introvert always reserved and silent he was nothing like his about going parents and didn't kick up a fuss like his brothers. when the two youngest sons were born we began noticing that he was somewhat different he didn't sit down at the table together with us he refused to eat what we ate it would stand up and walk off without saying anything. people often told us he's very unlike you little and he laughed it off yes he's more like our neighbor. nicholai and victoria began

a private investigation they gained access to the archives of the old maternity hospital and found something startling on the exact same day that andrea was born another woman had given birth to a boy at the same hospital she lived in a neighboring village but the couple was too late she had already left with her only son. of a but i was given a copy of the pictures of this boy and his mother. i looked at him and could hardly believe my eyes i put the boy's picture next to mine and andre's picture next to that woman's picture and is it all became clear to me and when i saw a picture of the father this is that there was no more adult in my mind andree and his real father grigori were like two peas in a pod. grigori and. for almost sixteen years victoria's son lived in a neighboring village his name was field and he had blond hair.

it's not easy for him to remember his childhood his upbringing was difficult at best. with poverty is everywhere here as you can see i had to work take care of the cattle. and chop wood. feel was an only son but for some reason he always felt as though he didn't quite belong. but you see the board so the parents were always quarrelling. my father even beat my mother what's little is the course that mom told me once that the neighbors around used to make fun of her. saying that her son did not look like her at all so as i was too blunt. every day victoria looked into the faces of the boys who bought pies from her

killer skin the city market. she hoped that someday her first biological son would come to buy something. and that she would recognize him. the use of the flock the thing that i went to a neighbor who worked at the market and i took this picture with me and. i told her this arizona had been switched to the hospital. so i showed her the pictures they needed was my son. and she said that she knew him as he had come over there. they did see each other at the market many times and victoria's heart still aches at the thought that she used to take money from her own son for the pis. what does the later i remember that boy with something out of the ordinary in his

eyes she was poorly dressed and a very skinny one. when fielder turned sixteen his father died together with his mother feel to move to russia to the northern city of your six thousand kilometers away. two years later when field all turned eighteen he learns that his was not the same blood as the people he thought were his parents. victoria and nikolai eventually found the phone number of the woman who may have been raising their son nicholas i called and it was fielder who answered the phone. it was about three in the morning. i was living in you could get the time when you called. he said we had a mutual friend. then he asked if i looked like my father and mother i said something rude to him in response something like why are you asking such questions

who are you and why are you calling me at such an hour. asked him if he had ever been told of his childhood that he'd been swapped at the hospital i explained to him that we had raised a son and recently learned that he was not and. when he heard this his voice changed at once. but me and i realized that my son was crying at the other end of the line. the incredible story was first published in the newspapers but it soon captured the attention of t.v. journalists the drama of the two families finally meeting after eighteen years in which to speak on live television. thank you when the blood brothers met the moyes can barely hold back the tears to say nothing of the father

you're having of course it was a shock so when i saw my brothers i felt as though i had fallen my soulmate and they were very deep emotions welling up inside me. but what looks like a happy ending for everyone involved was in fact just the beginning of the real drama . but i thought it was interesting how it would all end was. on it but that she got into his car was full of shit turned his head away and drove off the table which was so hard to part. we seem to have found her son again and again he was not around. we comforted ourselves with the thought that he would come back to us. three months after that meeting field or came to visit his biological parents just for

a few days to get to know them better but he ended up staying there for eighteen months in the cold city of you could skip the woman who had raised him to be left alone. wealthy british style. that's not on. the. market why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy with max cause or for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into kaiser report. we all make choices. sometimes it's tough. but it can be an easy call.

choice can be left to fate. boy it can be. limited. we can come. shows and. it's always personal. except one day. when choice matters to everyone. this frail woman works at a car park as a gatekeeper. make sure strangers stay off the premises and keep a strict account of the cars coming and going to they return on time. she doesn't get paid much it's just enough to keep her going there is only thirty eight the

child she brought up for eighteen years went to his real parents while her biological son refused to come to her. when the little. furder told me that he would go to mall darva or to visit them. to see how they live yet six months passed. but. then i asked him. when he was going to come back. and he said that he was ashamed to leave his parents. you feel ashamed. aren't you ashamed well after i have been raising you for eighteen years. well

ok. of course it hurts but what can i do. when you well i thought if birder was there probably andrei could come to me and little by little we would find a common language but it did not work then furder told me they would come to visit me but i do not know when it will happen. fielder's real parents have never had money troubles just like many other people in moldova nicholai sells homemade wine victoria meanwhile makes pastries. here we go. the new family often feel everything he lacked in his childhood

a comfortable life with a quiet family and blood brothers. i saw that i had the same character traits as my biological parents when i arrived in moldova and got to know them better i realized that andre was just like the parents who had raised me and i got it straight away. and i never thought they would not love me any more i know my parents they love me. but i was afraid to talk to them i don't know why but i was afraid. and found himself in a difficult position having to welcome the person whose place he had been occupying since childhood. so he was not going to step aside because a field of. wonder is very jealous should we were approached him about anything he immediately takes offense and does not want to talk. do you want some juice

and they want some. yeah ok. for the parents a meeting with their biological son also meant the possible loss of the son whom they'd raved to. a country told me once mom i'm going to be answered that he was eighteen already and he could go wherever he wanted. to spend two hours crying in the looking around the house so that he didn't see me crying. i got so scared. but he didn't leave. the field on a year and a half with a new family felt like a month all of the time back in your court marius spindle patiently awaited her guests only the occasional phone call brightened her loneliness. furder. hello how are you it's feared all your calls maria time after time for

a true son under a never dial her number only occasionally does he take the receiver from his brother. and. it's mom. and. i'm not expecting anyone anymore because i know that no one will come. it is my fate. maria has often seen her whole life as a real tragedy her deceased husband believed that their son was born as a result of her adultery he beat her and turned her out of the house together with the baby it never struck me but the doctors at the hospital could mistakenly have given her the wrong child. i gave birth to my son on the way to the hospital and was unconscious for almost three days that is why i did not see the baby and then

they first brought a dark haired baby to me but then they said it was not mine and to provide another one to me. the task of finding those guilty in this mix was fruitless the prosecutor's investigation found that the doctors who be on duty that day when andrea and fiona were born had already quit their jobs all retired there was no one to remember what had happened that day. we made the decision not to initiate criminal proceedings because of the lack of evidence under the article on the exchange of babies. everything that happened has been classified as negligence you have the right to apply to court for compensation for material and moral damage. before they were able to claim for compensation from the hospital your family would have to take d.n.a. tests because the lawyers would be unable to accept a family resemblance as solid evidence physical appearance can be

a good indicator of the business in people ages this trait was used to show whether a particular child is the biological chad or particular parent however it's not a definitive answer rather an indication of a possibility of parentage or non parentage if you look at for example we can see that two parents have. the child has white hat for example but it is also possible that two people with dark hair have a child with a fair that actually will darken with age but also if you look at the other case. the. for example with his brothers when he was little it is actually quite tricky to say that he is not called brother the children i

mean with the knowledge you can but if you look like these you know it's a tough call. moldova has no special laboratories for d.n.a. analysis the bull market has had to send their blood samples abroad to have the results returned by mail. there is one vital person missing from this table on whom the moment of truth depends on the family decided to take a d.n.a. sample from the second mother one of the sons had to go to her. after six thousand kilometers and more than twenty four hours for your daughter returns home to the woman he once called his mother in childhood when she saw her son through the window maria was still struggling with feelings of resentment and could not hold back her tears. hi mom. mom.

why are you crying. what happened it's ok. philo can hardly recognize his own mother she has lost twenty kilos over the past year it seems that maria still believes field or is her son. and perhaps with the help of this test everything will go back to the way it was and her beloved child will never leave her again. what we did to be analyzed d.n.a. profiles from maria a few order to see whether he's the biological mother or the field or not jetted data indicates that maria is excluded from being their biological mother or thought up what he did next is up to ten d.n.a. profiles from victoria bull maga nicholai. their alleged son on drink.

and in this case the how to exclude biological parental the parents so wonder is not the biological child of either nicholai or dictatorial. after wards we took d.n.a. profile from florida and compared it with d.n.a. profiles from victoria and nikolai in this case the uptake. and not exclusion which indicates that biological parental both parents is possible and the probability of this political parent is easy ninety nine point nine nine nine nine nine nine eight percent which is almost one hundred percent which indicates that order is actually the biological child of toria and nicholai and not the belittle child of maria.

maria storks trying to persuade field or to study she understands now that she has no such right. if you don't officially is with his biological parents he has decided to leave the area and move to moldova most likely never to return. to that if she's far away just a little she's suffering. just so so it's hard for her to be without us she feels abandoned and of course i feel bad about it. but nothing can be done. we will try to help her somehow. the parents organized a party to celebrate their son's return to moldova doll family gathered together for the occasion nicholai and victoria were confident the field all was their son

regardless of any d.n.a. test hundred is still the boy who they raised for eighteen years as if he was their own will always remain dear to them. finished but now i think short as my brother can call him a stranger we go my brother's. you know it is certainly joys that we have found our son but we have never ever thought of abandoning andree. and i explained to my younger son's got to be two to ever say to andre that he's not your brother even if you quarrel always remember that he's your brother and love him just like you always have. and if you. go. quite recently another boy appeared in the realm of your family nicholai in

victoria have now adopted land that was abandoned by his parents. to. do. just. the warmth of the family fireplace is what unites everyone in this home. in the parent's rests the spark of love for each child. but one who has no child to love is maria she's left all alone in the far northern city of your cook school.

question is that so much given all the huge decision by the defense the right to protect the rights to penetrate as syria continues down the path of destruction and civil war there are loud voices on the international stage.
