Children Are the Victims of Adult Vices is a group of bronze sculptures created by Russian artist Mihail Chemiakin.

The sculptures are located in a park in Bolotnaya Square, Balchug, 2,000 feet (610 metres) south of the Moscow Kremlin behind the British Ambassador's residence.

The figures of children are surrounded by sculptures in the form of anthropomorphic monsters, personifying "adult" vices: The sculpture was commissioned by then-Mayor Yuri Luzhkov and sponsored by the state-owned oil company Rosneft.

Some Muscovites worried that the graphic imagery would frighten children.

[2][3] Chemiakin said that, "[The sculpture] ... was conceived and carried out by me as a symbol and a call to fight for the salvation of present and future generations.
