According to Dmitry, he formalized permanent guardianship over Artem in December 2024, as adoption was impossible due to the grandmother's claims.
He emphasized that Artem is a citizen of Kyrgyzstan, and he has taken on the responsibility of preserving his citizenship until he reaches 18 years of age, which he confirmed at the Consulate of the Kyrgyz Republic in Novosibirsk. The child is also registered with the consular office in Yekaterinburg, and Dmitry, with the support of his mother, is raising him.
Dmitry explained his objections to handing Artem over to his grandmother. He noted that since 2018, they have been living with his wife Darya and Artem, and the boy considers him his father.
In the document that Dmitry presented in response to Bukhantsova's statement, it is stated that Artem has never lived with his grandmother, and they do not have a close relationship. Dmitry emphasized that he fulfills all parental functions and has become a key figure in the boy's life, providing for his upbringing and care. The boy continues to live with him, even after the death of his mother.
"Artem has a very close relationship with his younger brother," the document states.Furthermore, Dmitry noted that the grandmother has a court restriction on parental rights regarding her younger daughter, which is confirmed by a document from the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Kyrgyz Republic from December 2024.
He also pointed out that the grandmother often accuses him of selfish motives regarding guardianship. "I receive 16,000 rubles a month for the child. This amount is sufficient for his maintenance. Every year I report on expenses, keeping all receipts, and the guardianship authorities check the living conditions," Dmitry added.
The man claims that he formalized permanent guardianship over Artem in December 2024, referring to the relevant order from the Novosibirsk city administration and the permission from the Ministry of Labor, Social Protection, and Migration of the Kyrgyz Republic. "Considering the biological grandmother's restrictions on rights, the Ministry does not object to my appointment as guardian, as it is in the best interests of the child," the document states.
In addition, Dmitry indicated that the guardianship is already formalized, and the order from the Novosibirsk city administration appointing him as Artem's guardian remains in effect.

Lawyer Indira Sautova, representing the interests of the biological grandmother, stated that the restriction of Oksana Bukhantsova's rights only concerned her younger daughter and was imposed by the court in 2016 for a period of six months.“These restrictions were inappropriate and were initiated by Oksana's mother-in-law. They were lifted back in 2016. At that time, Bukhantsova's younger daughter was a schoolgirl, and now she is already of legal age. The document from the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection has been challenged. If the grandmother had been restricted in her rights, she would not have been placed on the guardianship waiting list. Referring to this case now is incorrect; it can be misleading,” the lawyer explained.
Indira also noted that only the court has the right to establish guardianship.
