I'm always curious about stories like these. Any idea why he ran away from home? I try to think about what I was doing at that age and am pretty sure there is no way I would have survived, haha.
His dad used to beat him. But other thing was that he had this unreasonable optimism about him into the old age, like everything will be fine no matter what.
This was in USSR btw, he ended up stoving on a train sneaked off to Central Asia somewhere in Kazakhstan I think.
Parent did find him eventually but by then he had work building the railroad there. He grew up early so he claimed he was 16 and by then(year and a half later) was in charge of a work gang
