Over one year this bear lives on a Russian airfield. Russian blogger Andrey visited this place and made some photos and told this story. The bear mom was killed by poachers. Little newborn bear appeared on the airfield. It was laying on the airfield and was trembling from the sound of flying planes. Pilots couldn't pass by this creature and picked him up. So the bear started to live on the airfield:

When it grew up a little they couldn't throw it away in forest - it would be fast killed by people as it was not afraid of people. They tried to give it to a Zoo or something else but nobody wanted another bear.
They called a bear "Mansur" which means "a bear" on one of Siberian languages. Mansur likes his saviors a lot. Also he like people in general and like to cuddle with them.
