Moscow Sculptures: Children are the Victims of Adult Vices

By Jack Brummet, Arts & Travel Ed.

In Moscow a few years ago, I had to talk my Kremlin guide into taking me to see these sculptures on the Moscow River. She said they had always spooked her and she waited up the street while I took them in. 

The sculptures by Mihail Chemiakin, "Children are the Victims of Adult Vices," depict 13 vices: alcoholism, child labor, indifference, drug addiction, prostitution, sadism, ignorance, pseudoscience, war, poverty, theft, capital punishment, and violence.
