Kristina Brazhnikova
Svetlana Trubnikova is 48 years old. 5 years ago her legs were amputated and she has almost lost her eyesight. After the surgery she had started living at her daughter's house but it was too small so she decided to return into her own place in the village. Her son, Igor, at the age of 11 became the one who took care of her. Their relatives, friends and local government help this family but the 15-year-old boy does the most part of the duties.
