[edit]

Beautiful group of sculptures in a park 2000 feet south of the Kremlin, behind the British Ambassador's residence.

The Russian Wikipedia page about the sculpture group has graphics which anyone can enjoy, and if you access that via Google, you can read an automatic translation of the text, which while imperfect, conveys useful information.

Apologies for a bad page, but please... someone with the skills massage this into an English page for this worthy(?) work of art by Mikhail Shemyakin?

Wikimapia will show you the site and images of the sculpture.

Proposed move

[edit]

I would like to propose a move to Children Are the Victims of Adult Vices. This title is more grammatically-accurate in English and in line with WP:STYLE. I think that it is also a better translation of the Russian title, "Дети — жертвы пороков взрослых". The character "—" in Russian typically translates to "are" or "is" in English. For example, compare ru:Россия to Russia. The Russian version starts "Россия — государство, расположенное в Евразии", while the English version says "Russia is a transcontinental country extending over much of northern Eurasia."

The move seems reasonable to me, but I would suggest not capitalizing "are" in the new name.--otherlleft 19:34, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Moved.--INeverCry 20:39, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
'Are' should be capitalized by MOS:CT76.121.211.59 (talk) 03:41, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I fixed this, though the article isn't worth looking at without the images. INeverCry 20:29, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Missing Sculpture

[edit]

The article makes no reference to, and provides no image of, the sculpture between "Indifference" and "Sadism". According to a Google translation of the article's second reference, it's title may be "Promotion of Violence". -- 13:39, 5 July 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.63.160.27 (talk)
