Ruslan Sergeevich Tushentsov
Origins: Achinsk, tragedy and Tourette syndrome
Ruslan Tushentsov was born on December 23, 1995, in Achinsk, Krasnoyarsk Krai. His birth was marred by a terrible tragedy: a week before his birth, his father died in a car accident. Ruslan grew up without a father, which left its mark on the formation of his character—early adolescence, isolation, and a strong need for self-expression through creativity.
The future blogger's childhood was spent in the typical atmosphere of a Siberian industrial city in the 1990s and 2000s. However, already in high school, Ruslan's life began to change irreversibly. He began to develop nervous tics. After consulting doctors, he was diagnosed with Tourette syndrome. This central nervous system disorder is characterized by multiple motor tics and at least one vocal tic that cannot be suppressed by willpower. For the teenager, who dreamed of a career as a surgeon or pathologist, this diagnosis spelled the end of his plans in classical medicine. Due to the progressive syndrome and accompanying epilepsy, he was forced to withdraw from a regular school and be homeschooled.
