Russian authorities say they have found a 20-year old man living alone in a Siberian forest after having apparently spent most of his life living there in a hut with his parents before they abandoned him in May.

“He has no education, no social skills and no ideas about the world beyond the forest,” local prosecutor Roman Fomin said, adding that the young man’s parents had lived in the forest since 1997.

“The young man is now still there, in his dugout, getting ready for winter, collecting firewood.”

Fomin wants to get a new identity card issued to the young man and get him on state social services so that he’s not spending the winter all in the Siberian wilderness.

The young man is, unfortunately, not the only Russian child raised without social and even communicative skills. In Russia, they are dubbed “Mowgli children” after a character in Rudyard Kipling’s “The Jungle Book” who was raised by wild wolves.
