4-year-old Demid Klimov surprised Maxim Galkin with his knowledge of princes, kings and other rulers. The boy showed a phenomenal memory on the program “Best of all” on Channel One.
Maxim Galkin personally decided to check whether it is true that a little boy from Volgograd distinguishes Anna Ioannovna, Boris Godunov, Yaroslav II and other famous historical figures from each other.
The kid called the names of the rulers unmistakably. Some were not even recognized by Maxim Galkin.
“Demid is an unusual kid. Already at 1 year and 2 months he knew the entire Russian alphabet, shapes, colors and “a million” poems. At 2 years old, Demid already knew the same thing in English. Interest in history has arisen not so long ago. At home we have the book “Kings and Emperors” – an encyclopedia for adults. Demid saw her and began to ask her to read this book to him. So he taught absolutely all the rulers of Russia. When asked why he likes this book so much, he answers: “In the same place about wars and battles!” Wake him up at night, he will tell about everyone. In my opinion, it’s just brilliant – to remember every name, surname, patronymic and even nickname! ” – proudly shared with Woman’s Day the mother of the prodigy Maria Klimova.
Maxim Galkin, surprised by the kid’s knowledge, wanted to know which of the rulers Demid liked the most …
– Ivan. Fifth. He was the son of Alexei Mikhailovich.
– Quiet! – explains Galkin. – Why did you like him?
“He looks like Kirkorov,” Demid replied seriously.
The boy also knows English perfectly, is engaged in acrobatics, recently began to attend judo, goes to the pool. The parents plan to send their son to chess as well.
The father chose the unusual name Demid for the child.
“Our dad suggested, I liked the meaning of the name. It consists of two parts: God (Zeus) + meditate = the thought of God. This name suits him very much! And he is smart beyond his years, ”said the baby’s mother.
