Search for children
The children went missing in Velikiye Luki almost 20 years ago after meeting an unknown man.
Law enforcement officials found out that in January 2007, a stranger approached three ten-year-old children.
The man told the boys that he was looking for actors to film a movie about space.
A stranger who introduced himself as a director invited the children to go with him to a screen test.
One child refused because he was busy at music school, but two others agreed.
Since then, no information has been received about their whereabouts.
Investigators opened a criminal case on the kidnapping, offering a reward of 400 thousand rubles for information about them.
A few days earlier, the reward was increased to two million rubles.
