Boriska the Boy Astronomer

Everyone was listening to the little boy with great interest, but they didn’t believe the stories he told. That has changed! There have been several articles written about him and his presence has been advertised on Russian TV. Writers have been trying to line up interviews with him for book publishers, Blogers, astrology, etc.

The parents decided to baptize their child just to be on the safe side: they already started thinking that there was something definitely wrong with their baby. Soon after that Boriska started telling people of their sins. He would come up to a man on the street and tell him to quit doing drugs; he would tell adult men to stop cheating on their wives, etc. The little prophet was warning people against forthcoming troubles and diseases, which created quite an unfavorable reputation for the boy's parents.

Nadezhda noticed later that her son would often feel bad on the threshold of serious disasters. "When the Kursk submarine sank, he was aching all over. He was suffered during the hostage crisis in Beslan. He refused to go to school during the days of that horrible attack," the boy's mother said.

When asked about his feelings during the days of the Beslan crisis, Boris said that he was burning from the inside: "It was like as if a flame was burning inside of me. I knew that the story in Beslan would have a horrible end," the boy said.

The boy is quite optimistic about Russia's future, though: "The situation in the country will be improving gradually. However, planet Earth will have to experience two very dangerous years - 2009 and 2013. Those catastrophes will be connected with water," Boriska said.
