Children are the Victims of Adult Vices (Moscow)

Russia / Moscow / Moscow
 sculpture, interesting place
The sculptures are of twelve bronze figures, which depict the adult vices, such as alcoholism, drug addiction, and prostitution, that affect children. The figures are perceptibly closing in on two unaware playmates, a girl and a boy, with the centrepiece figure being 'Indifference'. The sculpture was unveiled in 2001 amid some controversy. Opposition to the sculptures by Muscovites forced the location to be changed and specialists felt it would harm children.
