Rubén David González Gallego (Russian: Рубен Давид Гонсалес Гальего; born 20 September 1968) is a Russian writer of Spanish ancestry. After being born with severe cerebral palsy in the Soviet Union, Gallego was separated from his family at the age of one. He was sent to a state orphanage, because his grandfather, Ignacio Gallego, a Spanish Communist politician (General Secretary of the Spanish Communist Party since 1984), was ashamed of his birth disorder. He later told his daughter, Aurora Gallego Rodríguez (Rubén's mother), that her son had died. Read more on Wikipedia
