Alyoshenka, also known as the Kyshtym Dwarf, is an infant whose mummified remains were discovered in the village of Kaolinovy, near Kyshtym, Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia.

Notes on verification

Location, name, and discovery date are consistently corroborated across multiple independent sources (Mummipedia, Geometki, Inquisitr). However, the nature of the remains (genuine infant/fetus vs. hoax vs. paranormal claim) is disputed, so confidence is medium rather than high.
