- Maxim Kargapoltsev is an orphan from Chelyabinsk, who became famous for writing a letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin with a request to let him go to the American adopter from the statesman Virginia Mil and Dianna Wallen. Kargapoltsev met the spouses of Wallen from Virginia in 2007. They constantly exchange letters and chat on Skype. The boy visited the United States, and the Wallens visited him in Russia. In 2012, the couple filed documents for adoption, most of the formalities were settled. "The boy and the American family are friends for 7 years, there is a strong family bond between them. United Russia's deputy Ekaterina Lakhova called provocation an appeal of an orphan from Chelyabinsk requesting permission for the Americans to adopt him, reports RIA Novosti. She stated that the appeal was written at the suggestion of adults for political purposes. "It is clear that the boy did it not without the help of adults. To provoke a child to this, I just wonder how it can be done. It is only with the help of adults that all this is done. This will be another of the indicative reasons ... again Russia to make a few attacks and that's it, "the agency quotes Lakhova, one of the authors of the amendment, banning the adoption of Russian children by US citizens.
According to Lakhova, it is unacceptable to make exceptions and deviate from the norms of the adopted law. "We need to respond in a different way so that this child can be examined again. See if all the help was provided. What about the parents who refused him? After all, there are parents who would later not mind returning the children, but an obstacle comes from the guardianship. It is necessary to just sort it out on a specific occasion, "she said.
The Commissioner for Children's Rights, Pavel Astakhov, also called Kargapoltsev's letter a fake and "unscrupulous speculation" letter. At the same time, he noted that it is not necessary to adopt an orphan in need of treatment to help him.

"At the moment, we have checked everything thoroughly - we did not receive any letter in the presidential administration," said Peskov, stressing that "they checked all possible channels through which it could flow."- IMDb Mini Biography By: Russian media
