Children Are the Victims of Adult Vices, Bronze sculpture in Bolotnaya Square, Moscow, Russia
This bronze sculpture ensemble features two blindfolded children surrounded by thirteen figures representing destructive human behaviors and social problems.
Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov commissioned this sculpture group in 2001, with financial support from the state oil corporation Rosneft.
The central figures hold Russian Tales and Pushkin's Fairy Tales books, connecting traditional literature with modern social commentary.
The sculpture installation stands within 610 meters south of the Kremlin, behind the British Ambassador's residence in Balchug district.
Each surrounding figure embodies specific social issues, including a bald man with bent wings offering syringes and a frog-headed woman.
