Children are the Victims of Adult Vices - 10 Bolotnaya Ploshchad, Moscow, Russia

These 13 statues are the work of Russian artist Mihail Chemiakin. The collection reveals two unaware children, playing while 13 evil statues look on. The statues represent vices, including child labour, alcoholism, drug addiction, indifference, prostitution, ignorance, sadism, war, pseudoscience, theft, poverty, advocating violence and capital punishment. Initially it was feared the statues would frighten children, but they have been allowed to remain.
