The love and support of millions of Russians inspired and gave strength to this special child, forced every day to fight a serious congenital illness. But after any victory you need to return home, to ordinary life. How life is after “The Voice”, AiF.ru was told Danil and his mom Irina Afanasyeva.
For Danil’s participation in the show competition “The Voice. Children”, without exaggeration, was watched by the whole country. The emotions each performance of the young Sochi musician evoked in the majority of Russians could be judged by the reaction of the audience in the studio of the program, its presenter and mentors. All of them did not hide their admiration for the guy’s performance, and singers Pelageya Tears even flowed down my cheeks. But the most strong emotions at such moments, of course, Danil Pluzhnikov himself experienced it, although outwardly he was completely collected and, as a real artist, did not show any excitement. The guy looked natural on stage, and sang very artistically and with soul. Surely this also helped him gain the maximum number of votes during the audience SMS voting. Although for his family he became a winner even earlier.
“Danka really wanted to participate in this competition and he submitted an application on the Internet, I only helped him,” says Irina Afanasyeva. “He was very happy when he passed the casting, then the blind auditions. For us, every step was a huge victory and joy. And when Danka reached the final and then became first, he was simply happy. Moreover, we did not initially count on this. We went to “The Voice” just to try our hand at it. You know, all the children there were very talented, and we were probably lucky. In any case, when Danya reached the final, for me and for all our relatives he was already a winner.”
Danil himself also willingly shares his impressions of his experiences thanks to his participation in the project.
Vladimir Alexandrov, AiF.ru: Have you already come to your senses after such success?
Danil Pluzhnikov: Not yet, I'm still in shock and still can't believe it. Emotions are overwhelming. But I sleep peacefully, I don’t dream about “The Voice” at night.
— Was it difficult to win, because you had strong opponents?
— Of course, there was great excitement and great tension. It’s very difficult—it’s a live broadcast, after all. But I, like the guys who were in the top three with me, managed it. Lisa and Damir are very good, there was no competition between us at all, we always rooted for each other, communicated and wished good luck.
— What do you remember most and what impressions did your mentors — Bilan, Pelageya, Agutin — make?
— Every moment on the project was precious, and participation in it gave me just a tremendous experience. But I can’t single out anything. You know, all mentors are good in their own way, but I only keep in touch with Dima Bilan. We call him and discuss different topics— we talk about music, about life. We communicate very well with him.
— Now everyone congratulates you on your victory, they want to talk to you and do an interview. Are you tired of this attention yet?
- No, of course, I’m not tired. I feel a lot of support, which gives me strength and helps me maintain a positive attitude.
—Where do you get inspiration for your creativity?
- From nature, from parents, from everyone around. And of course, the fact is that I really love music. I am a music lover and listen to everything. Music is my favorite thing that brings great joy.
— What do you dream about and what are your plans?
- I have one dream - I want to become famous singer or a composer, I write the music myself. But for this you need to study, study and study again. In the future I plan to enroll in music college, then to the conservatory.
Danil continues to communicate with the guys from “The Voice” - via the Internet. He has a lot of pen pals because the guy is very sociable, which is clearly visible in the television stories with his participation. Not only children, but also adults like to communicate with him - he can find common language and topics for conversation with almost everyone. But still, a child with disabilities, and even one as famous and beloved as Danya, does not have too much live communication with peers. And no modern means of communication can completely replace it. Due to his illness, Pluzhnikov is studying at home, and in some lessons in music school, where his parents take him, you don’t communicate much. Moreover, the winner of “The Voice” takes music very seriously. It’s good that there is a person living next door with whom Danya can always have a heart-to-heart talk in the same language.
“My son has quite a lot of friends on the Internet, but this is the Internet,” shares Irina Afanasyeva. - And in life there is one boy with whom Dani really has a real friendship. They have been communicating for many years, understand each other and support each other in everything. Well done, I really like it. Nikita is healthy, tall, handsome guy, he is involved in athletics and ranks prizes at competitions."

Music is the most important thing for Danil, and he devotes a lot of time to it. The boy attends vocal classes and learns to play the synthesizer. Although he also knows a lot about other types of creativity. Danya loves to draw with pencils and paints, and work with images in Photoshop. In general, he really likes the computer, although he doesn’t play games like many of his peers. Unless sometimes he sits down for a while with simple “worms” so that his brain can rest a little. He also has his own literary passions. Favorite genres are detective and science fiction, and my favorite works are “Sherlock Holmes”, “Harry Potter” and “The Chronicles of Narnia”. Moreover, reading, like watching films, is not just entertainment for him. Great value makes sense to Dani. For example, after watching “Kung Fu Panda,” he shared with his mother that this animated film has a lot of instructive things, that it talks about good and evil.

“Of course, not all children think about such things at this age,” says Irina Afanasyeva. - But, in general, I noticed that many guys with diseases like Dani’s are really wise beyond their years and often say some smart things. Although at the same time they still remain children.”
Whatever you say, the health of Danil Pluzhnikov for himself and his family is the most main question, which is more important than any fame. In infancy he seemed an ordinary child, but at about nine months his parents began to notice that he had stopped growing. It turned out that the boy has a severe genetic disease in which his limbs stop developing. Because of this, his height is now less than a meter, and he is forced to move on crutches.
“Since 2003, I already went to doctors with my son,” says Irina Afanasyeva. — At the age of seven he had his first operation, and after that there were two more at the Elizarov Center in Kurgan. They helped straighten and slightly lengthen his legs, but this is not completely curable. You can only improve the condition so that your bones don’t hurt and your muscles develop better.”
After his victory, Dani has no end to fans who want to take pictures with him and get an autograph. Photo: Danil Pluzhnikov’s VKontakte page
Like any disabled child, Dana is entitled to special free treatment according to quotas, but not everything is so simple. The state provides funds only for the boy, and there is no question of compensating the parents’ expenses, which cannot be avoided. For example, during trips to operations in Kurgan, Irina Afanasyeva paid for her accommodation herself. And this despite the fact that their family is not rich. Only the boy’s father works constantly, and his mother has been taking care of her son at home since his birth. To cover all expenses, they had to contact charities. On the other hand, there are problems with finding competent specialists, especially with such a complex disease. But Danya needs constant treatment and rehabilitation.
The fame that came to the boy helped solve these problems, at least partially. I took care of his health host of the famous TV show Elena Malysheva. Thanks to this, Danya underwent an in-depth medical examination, based on the results of which the best doctors in the country held a consultation. But even they were powerless in the face of such a disease and could not work a miracle. But they helped determine the only the right way further treatment of the boy.
While participating in the Channel One project, Dana received messages with words of support from all over the country. Photo: Danil Pluzhnikov’s VKontakte page
“They came to the conclusion that it is not yet possible to perform new operations on Danka,” continues Irina Afanasyeva. “Now he needs to strengthen his muscles and spine. Elena Malysheva promised to place us in a rehabilitation center in Gelendzhik for three months this year, and I am sure that she will keep her word. She said that she wanted to ensure that in a year Danilka would be able to walk without crutches. I will be very grateful to her if this happens. Apparently, then we will meet again on her show.”
But complex and painful treatment is not the only problem that Dana and his parents had to face. The saddest thing is that this is sometimes compounded by the misunderstanding of others.
“It happens that people laugh, discuss me, there are also those who have a negative attitude,” Danil admitted while participating in the “Voice” program. “But I don’t care, I am who I am.”
But still there is good news. Thanks to the Paralympic Games, Sochi not only became more convenient for people with disabilities in terms of infrastructure. According to the boy’s mother, the attitude of the townspeople has also changed. They have become noticeably more tolerant, and one can only regret that there is only one such Olympic capital in Russia.
According to Irina Afanasyeva, after the Paralympics, Sochi residents began to treat people with disabilities better, like her son. Photo: Danil Pluzhnikov’s VKontakte page
Dana is very lucky with her parents. They try their best to make his life as comfortable as possible, although it is not so easy. For example, you need to arrange your home in such a way that a boy with his short stature will be comfortable. According to Irina Afanasyeva, now they want to order special furniture for him, but it’s difficult to find, and the family’s finances are limited. Even to pay for trips to Moscow for the “Voice” project, the boy’s parents turned to local deputies and charitable organizations for help. There are other everyday problems that the family constantly faces.
“We have only two rooms, one of which Danya lives in,” says Irina Afanasyeva. - And the kitchen and hallway are combined - such a strange layout. So, in this room we always have a very, very damp wall, and black mold forms. The apartment is on the ground floor, and when it rains, water seeps in a lot. We are in the subtropics. Because of this, repairs have to be done literally every year. Dampness is harmful to Dani’s health, but I don’t know how this problem can be radically solved. Maybe someone will respond and come up with something and help us. I’ll be just happy if our wall becomes dry and the mold disappears forever.”
Considering all this, it is difficult to even convey how much joy the news that he gave brought to the whole family. Head of Sochi Anatoly Pakhomov. After Dani’s victory in “The Voice,” the mayor called his mother, conveyed his congratulations and promised a studio apartment in multi-storey building, currently under construction in the city center. They promise to deliver it by the end current year. I would like to hope that by then Dani will have other reasons for joy. Now they are waiting for a call from Channel One; they promised to contact them just after the May holidays. Everyone hopes that the boy will be offered to take part in some new interesting projects.
Name: Danil Pluzhnikov
Age: 14 years old
Place of birth: Sochi
Height: 98
Activity: singer, winner of the project “The Voice. Children-3"
Danil Pluzhnikov was born in Adler, the regional center of one of the four inner-city districts of the resort city of Sochi. The boy was born into a family where both parents love music. Mom sings and plays the piano, father plays drums and guitar. It is not surprising that little Danya, having barely learned to speak, was already singing all the songs from “The Bremen Town Musicians” at karaoke.
The clear and cloudless sky above this family began to become covered with clouds when Danila was 10 months old. Mom noticed that her son stopped growing and gaining weight. At first, the doctors reassured him and did not share their suspicions, but soon made a disappointing diagnosis: the boy had spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia of the upper and lower extremities. This is a complex systemic bone disease.
But life went on. And the courageous parents did everything in their power to ensure that their son received from this life everything that it could give him. Danil Pluzhnikov studies at school. True, the home learning method was chosen for him: 4 lessons with teachers and 7 more on the Internet. At the same time, the boy does not demand any concessions for himself and does not allow himself to relax: he is an excellent student.
Dani has many hobbies. He loves to ride a skateboard and a special scooter that resembles a two-seater mini-car. He also loves to draw and writes poetry. But main love Dani's whole life is music.
Several times a week, parents take their son to a music school, where he diligently practices vocals. Not long ago Danil Pluzhnikov began composing instrumental music, selecting a tune on a synthesizer.
The first victories were not slow to appear. In the first year of vocal lessons with her favorite teacher Victoria Brandaus, Dana received 11 awards. Pluzhnikov regularly attended various music competitions, some of which were held far from his native Sochi. Now the young performer has more than 20 1st degree medals and 7 2nd degree awards.
In 2014, when Sochi hosted Olympic Games, Danil Pluzhnikov also did not stand aside. He was invited to meet the Paralympians, and he gladly agreed.
This small man - only 98 centimeters - has a huge and kind heart. The boy, bearing the burden of his own difficult fate with dignity and courage, is engaged in charity work. He visits the Moscow Oncology Center, where he sings and plays the synthesizer for the youngest patients.
Danil admits that these trips are not easy for him, because seeing seriously ill children and realizing that some of them cannot be saved is very scary. But smiles and good mood kids are given the feeling that he is doing a good and necessary thing.
The decision to take part in the 3rd season of the show “The Voice. Children” was not easy for Danil Pluzhnikov. The boy had long dreamed of going on stage and proving, along with other talented guys, that he could sing no worse. But the fear of the huge audience, which is not limited only to those present in the hall, somewhat held back. But Danya made up his mind and made the right decision.
The 13-year-old singer took to the stage with a wonderful Cossack song Oleg Gazmanov "Two Eagles". Before leaving, he admitted that he dedicated the chosen song to his grandfather, who went through the war. Danil is alarmed that the feat of that heroic generation underestimated by their peers, and they began to forget who gave them life.
He performed this song so thoughtfully and without a shadow of pretense that he amazed not only the audience, but even sophisticated mentors. In the last minutes of the song, Dima Bilan turned to the boy and gasped. A little later, Bilan admitted that his heart almost stopped when he felt the extraordinary, adult spirituality that such a young boy filled the music and words with.
Pelageya also expressed her sincere admiration. She said that this song suits Dani’s voice very well. But the main thing is that in his performance “Two Eagles” sounded very mature and thoughtful.
Dmitry Nagiyev, immensely admired by the boy’s courage and talent, carried Danila Pluzhnikov away from the stage in his arms. According to all mentors, the performer from Sochi has unlimited possibilities and undoubted talent.
The audience accompanied the singer with a standing ovation. The Our Future Foundation congratulated Danila on successfully passing the Blind Auditions stage. Pluzhnikov is a repeated participant in the Foundation’s projects. In February of this year, the young Sochi singer participated in International festival-competition The "success factor" that took place in his hometown. Then creative biography Danila Pluzhnikova added another victory: he became a 1st degree laureate.
On April 29, 2016, Danil Pluzhnikov became the winner of the show “The Voice. Children-3" under the guidance of project mentor Dima Bilan.
The boy admits that it doesn’t bother him at all everyday life his small stature. He realized long ago that he would never become like his peers, and began to be calm about the reactions of others.
The entire personal life of Danila Pluzhnikov and his great love- this is music. He loves different songs, but always with deep meaning. In addition to songs by Oleg Gazmanov, his repertoire includes compositions by Grigory Leps and Valery Meladze.
Many people wonder who Danila Pluzhnikov is, because his name is increasingly heard on television screens. A year ago, no one had heard the story of a thirteen-year-old boy, but today many news reports talk about him. Moreover, the name of the young singer is mentioned by Wikipedia in an article about the Russian project “The Voice. Children".
Daniil's hometown is Sochi, he was born and lives in Adler with caring parents. According to the guy himself, his love for music was passed on to him by inheritance, because Danil’s parents are madly in love with music, which is an example for him. Mom Irina studied at music conservatory, and as a result, all his life he sings well and plays the piano, while his father plays the guitar and percussion instruments.
Despite early years, Danil has already participated in various music competitions, he even won the music festival“Wind Rose” in 2015, which took place in Sochi.
Dani's family is not very wealthy - the boy's father works as a driver, and his mother has not worked since the birth of her son, devoting all her time to raising Daniil. The three of them live in a two-room apartment, but due to the fact that their house is very old, during bad weather the wall leaks, and later terrible mold appears on it. Dampness and mold negatively affect Danil’s illness, which is why his parents are very worried.
The first signs of Danila’s illness, according to his mother, began to appear when the boy was not yet a year old - he stopped gaining weight and height. The guy was first hospitalized in 2003.
Later, doctors gave Danil a disappointing diagnosis. Daniil is sick with an incurable genetic disease, due to which the guy does not grow. Due to his illness, it is difficult to determine how old he is, because at the age of thirteen the height of the talented boy remains less than a meter. Knowing what is happening to him, the singer remains very sociable and cheerful. Many doctors tried to help Daniil cope with the disease, although this did not produce any results.
Dani's parents share memories of how Danil began humming songs from the cartoon about Bremen musicians already when I had not yet learned to speak. Observing her son’s behavior, the mother decided to send the boy to a music school.
Danil’s illness does not interfere with his desire to practice both vocals and playing the synthesizer. Teachers are amazed at the perseverance and hard work. The school in Sochi knows that the guy is sick, so Danya is at homeschooling. The boy is taught by four different teachers, and some lessons are also conducted over the Internet. Without a doubt, Danila takes his studies very responsibly, remaining an excellent student and achieving creative success.
Take part in the song show “The Voice. Children" Danila was advised at one of vocal competitions, in which Danila Pluzhnikov took part. Over four years of music studies, the aspiring singer received dozens of different awards. In the first year of working on vocals alone, he won eleven competitions.
Having learned more about the project “Voice. Children,” Danil was inspired by the idea of taking part in the competition. Mom and the teacher went through different songs, trying to find the most suitable composition for the casting; they were also worried whether young Pluzhnikov would like this choice. After all, according to parents, the key to success is emotions during singing, which truly touches the performer’s heart.
Daniil decided to perform the song “Two Eagles”, famously performed by Oleg Gazmanov. Also, the guy dedicates his performance to his grandfather. The boy's mother was very touched by this gesture.
In his interview, Danila Pluzhnikov did not hesitate to talk about people who mock him and do not accept Danya because the boy is disabled. The guy admits that he used to be hurt by such treatment, but now he has learned to cope with his emotions. Famous phrase guy “I am who I am” made every viewer think and aroused admiration for his optimism.
The support of my mother during the performance gave the guy more confidence and calm. Before the performance, Daniil did not seem nervous; he confidently communicated with other participants and presenters, telling them about himself, what he was sick with, and how he first ended up in the hospital. He also talked a lot about mom and dad, how old his parents were, what they do.
The performance of the song “Two Eagles” performed by Daniil at the blind audition turned out to be very sensual. Despite the singer’s age, the song was sung thoughtfully and seriously, which made Dima Bilan turn to the guy to take him to his team.
With each new meeting, the mentor became convinced of what he had done right choice. In addition to the fact that Danil sings well, Dima noticed the boy’s responsible approach to the task. All of Danil Pluzhnikov’s performances turned out to be very heartfelt.
Many viewers agree that unusual story the guy’s life endowed Danya with wisdom, which is visible in every performance of Danil, despite the fact that it is unusual for children.
On April 29, every viewer understood that tonight it would become known who would win the “Voice” project. Three participants, among whom was Daniil. He had to perform with the song “I’m Free,” which gave him first place.
The audience was amazed by the performance of the song “They beat us, we fly.” Voice.Children-3. Final.
After the finale of the show, the singer began to often visit children's hospitals to support other patients. Photos from performances often appear in various social networks, such as Instagram and VKontakte, where anyone can chat with a guy.
Danila Pluzhnikov and his mother attended Malysheva’s program, which wants to make the boy’s life easier. Now the guy has hope that he will be able to move independently.
Despite his popularity, the guy still doesn't have many friends, which is very surprising, knowing how sociable he is. He communicates live only with the neighbor guy who has become for him best friend, understanding that many Friends on the Odnoklassniki and VK sites will never be able to replace live communication.
It is very difficult to keep track of where the guy is now, but the official website provides reliable information about Dani’s activities. In addition, you can follow updates on Danil’s VKontakte page.
Who is Danil Pluzhnikov? Winner biography famous project"Voice. Children”, which conquers the hearts of most Russians, despite its young age, is very rich and interesting. This name is familiar to many in our country. This is a boy who was able not only to defeat his rivals, but also to defeat himself, to defeat his illness. The son of musicians (his mother plays the piano, his father plays percussion instruments), from childhood, as soon as he learned to speak, he began to sing karaoke with pleasure. His love for music did not leave him even when Danil grew up.
The boy was born on January 26, 2003 in sunny Adler. Until the age of 10 months, the boy grew absolutely healthy child until the mother discovered that her son had stopped gaining height and weight. For a long time, doctors did not listen to the mother’s concerns, assuring her that the child was developing normally. The parents visited many doctors and offices until they were noticed. From that moment on, the whole life of the family is inextricably linked with the hospital. Long examinations, worries and, finally, a terrible, disappointing diagnosis - a complex bone disease. Courageous parents did not abandon their sick child, but, on the contrary, tried to do everything in their power so that their son would not feel unnecessary, different from everyone else. The biography of Danil Pluzhnikov is very unusual. Like all his peers, he studies at school, receiving training from teachers at home and via the Internet. Despite all the difficulties, the boy is an excellent student. In addition to studying in his main subjects, Danil has many additional hobbies: skateboarding, writing poetry and, of course, music. In addition to studying vocals at a music school, I recently added a passion for playing the synthesizer. Danil's mentor speaks of him as a very persistent and hardworking child. Despite the fact that it is very difficult to play with such a disease musical instruments, Danil courageously overcomes all difficulties and no longer just performs compositions on a synthesizer, but also composes his own.
Now Danila Pluzhnikov (“The Voice”) has become famous throughout the country. His biography, as the boy’s mother said in an interview, is extremely full of difficulties. The family had to go through all of them. It turns out that little Danil, who was not even a year old at the time, could not be given an accurate diagnosis for a long time. Naturally, it was also impossible to start treatment. The parents visited dozens of doctors and clinics in Krasnodar and Moscow. Finally, at the age of 6 years, the boy underwent his first operation and almost immediately received treatment using a new method at the G. Ilizarov Center. Things have progressed since dead center. After such complex therapy, the doctors advised to wait a while and give the child the opportunity to rest. Next row It was decided to carry out the operations at the age of 13-14 years. All these years, both his parents and his older sister Danila were constantly with the boy, supporting him in everything. Mom had to quit her job, her adult sister had to forget about her personal life, dad had to work as hard as he could to feed the family.
When Danil turned 13, he was put on a waiting list for another operation. She was appointed in November 2015. But then the Pluzhnikov family learns that their beloved and courageous son passed the casting to participate in the project “The Voice. Children". Danil Pluzhnikov was in seventh heaven from this news. This is exactly what he dreamed of all the years, seriously studying vocals. A difficult choice lay ahead - participation in the project or the planned operation. Fortunately, the doctors accommodated the little patient and agreed to undergo the operation. Now we all know that this was not done in vain.
Winner "The Voice" Children" Danil Pluzhnikov, whose biography is far from cloudless, has long learned to be philosophical about his unusual appearance. Now that his face is familiar to almost every Russian, there are no problems communicating with others. It was different though. People reacted differently to the little boy growing up. Perhaps not out of malice, but from a lack of upbringing, but this made it no less offensive. Danil’s attitude towards such people changed dramatically after his visit to Sochi. However, the boy himself always perceived the tactlessness of others much more adequately than his mother. Every time she rushed to protect her son like a tigress. And only much later did the understanding come that “if you cannot change the situation, change your attitude towards it.” Since then, the family has only sympathized with such narrow-minded and ill-mannered people.
Without a description of the everyday life of a teenager, it will not be possible to full biography. Singer Danil Pluzhnikov - unusual child. The parents tried to arrange their son’s life as much as possible so that he could resort to outside help as little as possible. There are small stairs and chairs everywhere in the apartment. In Danil's room there is a low desk and a bed. The father made all the furniture for his son. The extraordinary cohesion of this family is striking. They are always together, friendly and loving. Despite the fact that Danil is sick, no concessions are made to him at all. Like any teenager of his age, he has his own responsibilities, for failure to fulfill which his parents scold him. Danil's father believes that he is already an old enough, independent guy to be overprotective of him. Without the help of adults, Danil can manage not only within the walls of his home, but also on the street. He moves on a specially equipped scooter along the sidewalk. At first, the worried mother was afraid to let him go alone, but then his father intervened, and now Danil moves freely around his neighborhood.
The name of the winner of the project “The Voice. Children" in the third season, everyone knows - Danil Pluzhnikov. The biography of this extraordinary teenager who achieved such results at the age of 14, despite serious illness worries many. Danil tries not only to take part in various competitions and win one victory after another, but also to provide support to other sick children. Danila began in Moscow with a visit to the children's oncology center. The boy sang and played the synthesizer for sick children. In simple live communication, Danil gave sick children the faith that the disease can and should be fought!
At the Olympics in Sochi, Danil, among the volunteers, met foreign delegations and presented the athletes who arrived in Russia with the symbol of our country - hats with earflaps. Communication with Paralympic athletes added to the teenager’s self-confidence and self-confidence. Now he knew for sure that any illness can be overcome, you just need not to despair and find something in life that will bring satisfaction and joy to life.
The whole country followed Danil’s every performance on the project with trepidation. The reaction of both spectators and mentors was always the same - admiration with tears in their eyes. Surely everyone who listened to the speeches of the future winner experienced strong emotions. But the greatest experiences still fell on the lot of the boy’s family and Danil himself. But, despite the passions raging inside, outwardly Danil Pluzhnikov, whose biography is a real example of masculinity and determination, was always calm and collected. Each song is not just a sound beautiful voice, but also a soulful, artistic performance. What I was actually experiencing now famous artist before each appearance on stage, it is probably known only to the closest and dearest people.
To win such a significant victory in adolescence, to become famous and recognizable is, of course, wonderful. But for Danil and his family, fame is far from the main thing. Naturally, the boy’s health comes first. A lot of effort, time and money have already been spent on treatment and operations. And how much more is to come! Danil, like all disabled children, has the right to free operations and rehabilitation. However, the state does not take into account that such unusual children cannot constantly cope without the help and support of an adult. Unfortunately, it does not cover the expenses that are necessary for a mother to stay with her son. Therefore, the family constantly has to turn to various charitable organizations for financial assistance.
Participation and victory in the project helped Danil and his family solve these problems. After the whole country found out about the boy and started talking, famous TV presenter Elena Malysheva offered her help. She was able to organize consultations for the boy with leading specialists in the country, who, after an examination, held a consultation and chose the most optimal treatment methods for Danil. Of course, it will not be possible to completely rid the boy of his illness, but thanks to the chosen methods, it is possible to ensure that Danil can walk without crutches. To do this, according to the doctors’ decision, Danil needs to devote all his strength to exercises to strengthen his muscles and spine. Elena Malysheva, in turn, promised to help the boy and send him to a special rehabilitation center for such children.
Danil was very lucky with his parents. Unlike many who found themselves in their situation, they did not abandon the child, but, on the contrary, rallied and threw all their strength into providing their son with a decent future and present. The Pluzhnikov family is not rich, because only their father works for them. A lot of money is spent on treatment, operations and rehabilitation periods. To add to these problems, the family lives in a small two-room apartment on the ground floor. Due to constant dampness, mold appears on the walls, this is very harmful to Danil’s body. In order to somehow combat mold, you have to make repairs to the apartment every year, and this is an additional expense. After Danil’s victory in the “Voice. Children,” the mayor of the city where the Pluzhnikovs live, promised to give the family a new studio apartment in a building under construction.
"Danil Pluzhnikov told reporters that after finishing his participation in the project, he still cannot recover from such success: " I'm still in shock and still can't believe it. Emotions are overwhelming. But I sleep peacefully, I don’t dream about “The Voice” at night".
Danya also said that he still maintains a relationship with his mentor; they call each other and talk about music and life. The boy feels great support from his fans and is very grateful to them. And he draws inspiration from the beauty of nature and music. " Music is my favorite thing and it brings me great joy. I have one dream - I want to become a famous singer or composer, I write music myself. But for this you need to study, study and study again. In the future I plan to go to a music college, then to a conservatory.".
Danil’s mother Irina Afanasyeva shared that her son has many friends with whom he communicates on the Internet, and real life Dani has one true friend: " They have been communicating for many years, understand each other and support each other in everything. Well done, I really like it. Nikita is a healthy, tall, handsome guy, he is involved in athletics and takes prizes in competitions".
The fame that came to the boy, of course, helped solve some problems associated with his health, at least partially. The host of the famous TV show Elena Malysheva took care of his health. Thanks to this, Danya underwent an in-depth medical examination, based on the results of which the best doctors in the country held a consultation. They helped determine the only correct path for further treatment of the boy.
