Russian Influencer, Who Exposed Baby To 'Only Sunlight', Jailed After Starving Son To Death

A Russian influencer who goes by the name Maxim Lyutyi has been sentenced to eight years of imprisonment for starving his one-month-old to death. Lyutyi wanted his baby boy Kosmos ‘to be like Superman’, UK-based Tabloid Metro said in a report. The infant, however, died of starvation after he was ‘fed’ with only sunlight by Lyutyi, which would supposedly grant him superhuman abilities as per the latter.

According to the report by Metro, the baby boy Kosmos was born at his home after Lyutyi refused to let the boy’s mother, Oksana Mironova, go to a maternity hospital. Lyutyi then put the baby on a strict vegan ’prana’ diet based on berries that supposedly have a positive effect on the body’s spiritual energy.

Metro quoted Oksana Mironova’s cousin, Olesya Nikolayeva, saying, “He forced her not to feed the baby. Her boyfriend believed that the sun was feeding the baby…”
