Mikhail Astashov

On the third day of February 2020, stunning news appeared in the media, which quickly spread across numerous public pages on social networks with the note "Worthy of respect." The message said that in Yekaterinburg, the delivery service Yandex.Eda was working not quite an ordinary courier, but a professional parasportman Mikhail Astashov. As often happens, the journalists lied a little, inaccurately indicating the reason why the man chose this place of work.

October 16, 1988 turned out to be both a happy and a terrible day for Evgeny Alexandrovich and Ksenia Polikarpovna Astashov, who lived in the Khandagatai village of the Tarbagatai district of Buryatia: the son Misha was born without limbs, arms and legs. The doctors, firmly convinced that the baby would not live long, convinced the spouses that they would not “pull” the child, that is, they would not be able to provide him with proper care, and it would be better to refuse him. Heartbroken adults succumbed to the persuasion of experts.

However, the doctors were wrong. The boy clung to life as best he could: until the age of four he was in the Baby House in Ulan-Ude, until the age of 16 - in a rehabilitation center in the city of Kus, Chelyabinsk region, being considered an orphan. At the indicated age, the heads of a specialized institution for disabled children decide where to send their inhabitants, in the case of Mikhail they contacted the biological father and mother of the ward, they came and, having restored parental rights, took him to their place.

At home, the teenager graduated from vocational lyceum No. 7, becoming a computer operator, and entered the current faculty of heritage and information technologies of the East Siberian State Institute of Culture.

Astashov has only positive memories of the years spent at KORTS. In a conversation with reporters, he shared funny facts from his early biography and tirelessly praised the staff who made every effort to make the sponsored feel comfortable both physically and psychologically.

As for the attitude of a man to the act of close people, he does not hold a grudge against them, but assesses what happened philosophically, believing that in his father's house he would hardly have learned independence and everything that he can now.

Information about the personal life of the hero of our time, as Astashov was nicknamed on the Internet, fits into two words indicated in the column "Marital status" in the social network "VKontakte". The man is not married, but he does not suffer from a lack of love: followers are not shy in showing enthusiastic feelings, and friends and the newly found family try to help in everything.

In early February 2020, Mikhail shared on Instagram the joyful news that his friend Anastasia Lukicheva presented him with a selfie stick specially equipped for a prosthesis. And now, with the help of a gadget, he talks on a social network about everyday work and introduces him to his environment, publishing stories and photos under the hashtag #Mishaneblogger.

The titled paratriathlete, who periodically flashes on Facebook, answered a direct question about a possible blogger's career that he did not exclude such a possibility in the future, but sport was and remains in the first place for him.

A teenager with rackets and a shuttlecock got along right away, repeatedly became the champion of Russia among juniors and even received the Nikolai Ostrovsky prize. Relations with table tennis are also close and pleasant: Mikhail, who has honed his skills with the help of a self-instruction manual, has many victories in republican competitions.

Moving to Buryatia was not easy for the young man, at first he found neither friends nor work in the new place. But there was sport. Misha came to the regional public fund for wheelchair users "Society without Barriers" and met Erzhena Budaeva, who recommended him to Nikolai Teterin.

As a result, together with the main mentor, the guy mastered four types of swimming, showing victorious results in Russian competitions and setting more than one record. Gradually, he moved from this discipline to triathlon, which also includes running and cycling.

The end of 2015 and the beginning of 2016 turned out to be controversial for a resident of Ulan-Ude. In November, the pupil of the RSDYUSSHOR was told that for a number of reasons he did not make it to the next European Championship and Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro. In February, immediately after the triumph at the Russian Cup in paratriathlon and demonstration of the best results in the marathon and swim, the "Russian Oscar Pistorius" became the person of the year in Buryatia, and in August - the vice-world champion.

Mikhail, now living in Yekaterinburg and working at the Department of Physical Education of the Forestry University and in the club under the Ministry of Sports, does not stop training and developing his talents, despite the obstacles. In 2019, Astashov won gold in the World Cup, not yet fully recovering from his injury.

According to a number of media outlets, Astashov went to Yandex.Food delivery companies to collect the missing amount for a trip to the Paralympics 2020 in Tokyo. And while the readers were indignant at the current situation, the athlete himself hastened to explain that the reason for this decision lies radically in something else.
