Vanya's mom's name is Vera, right?
Her neighbor said she worked the night shift, right?
Wasn't that the name of the nurse who treated the guy who was chasing Vanya that night?
Even though we never really see her other than the very fast shot of her with her patient nor when Vanya finds her...but I think she was Vanya's mother.
Yes, the nurse was Vanya's mother.
To Novisad-1:
Anton did get to go to Italy in his place - here is the actual text of Vanya's letter to him, from the subtitles in the final frames:
Hello Anton:
Thank you for your letter. I didn’t know that oranges grow where you live. It rains all the time here but it is warm inside. Momma and I send our greetings to you, Roberto and Claudia. Come visit us some time.
Vanya Soltsev
Right you are, judy.
