Children Are the Victims of Adult Vices, Moscow

This sculpture is on Bolotnaya Square in Moscow. The sculptor is artist Mihail Chemiakin. The monument consists of 15 sculptures and symbolizes the fight against evil and social vices. The figures of children are surrounded by monsters impersonating these adult vices: drug addiction, violence, alcohol addiction, and other things.

Theft, for example, is symbolized by a figure of a man with a hog’s head, carrying a sack of money; sadism — a rhino wearing butcher’s clothes; and the figure of the knight in armor with wings and a gas mask, holding a bomb, is the symbol of war. The central place in the sculpture is a figure that symbolizes indifference, with a body that looks like a sarcophagus, closing its eyes and ears.
