Russian first voiced its grievances about the fate of Russian children adopted in the United States when Savelyev, then 7, was sent back to Russia on a one-way plane ticket by his adoptive mother from Tennessee. The boy's treatment ignited outrage in Russia toward the United States, temporarily halting American adoptions of Russian children.
