The Russian millionaire mum accused of constantly trying to thrust her six-year-old son into the limelight has reportedly offered a 20,000-GBP reward to find the trolls who threatening to kill the youngster online.
Self-made businesswoman Yana Rudkovskaya, 44, made the headlines last year when she revealed she beats her son and locks him in a closet in an attempt to make him ‘the best skater on the planet’.
Little Alexander Plushenko, who is also the son of Olympic figure skater Evgeni Plushenko, 36, has been thrust into the limelight by his producer mum since birth, according to local media.
The boy, who has appeared in over 20 ice skating shows and has his own Instagram account with 343,000 followers, is reportedly receiving abuse online.

In response, Rudkovskaya, who boasts 2.4 million Instagram followers, has offered 1.5 million RUB (18,265 GBP) to find the online trolls threatening her son’s life, according to local media.
Rudkovskaya said that one netizen in particular has been making sick predictions about her son’s death later this year.
A screenshot of one message said: “Your son will die on 29th December, just wait for it. God is preparing his death.
“He will suffocate and choke right in your arms…”
Rudkovskaya and her husband have reported the alleged threats to the police.
She wrote on social media: “The police are currently on the right track. I can’t wait for the payback moment to come. I want these b*stards to face the full extent of the law.”
The investigation is ongoing.
Rudkovskaya recently flew her son to Paris to take part in a Balmain kids photo shoot, as seen in the video footage.
The incident led to accusations that she is using the child for fame.
The excited mother wrote on social media: “In Paris for the photo shoot. So proud! Thank you to the best agency in France ‘Success Kids’ for picking us.”
Success Kids is an agency that made stars of Lily-Rose Depp and actress and model Thylane Blondeau.
Netizen ‘Kulinich3522’ said: “The boy looks very detached from what is happening around him, he also looks exhausted. It seems as if he was doing his parents a favour while having zero interest in what was happening. He will never become a real star.”
‘Elena080982’ commented: “Poor child…”
‘Ekatersherb1234’ added: “This boy looks pretty exhausted. I think he needs to get some rest.”
