Way to read too much into a photo.

You didn't do well in art appreciation class did you?

What's pathetic is that you keep coming back here, further wasting your time as well as ours. If the OP's opinion (and the many who agree with said individual) differs from yours, leave it be. Dissent for the sake of dissent quickly descends into mere jackas-ery. You said your piece. Move on.

That's pretty much a given. Definately not a social studies major either.

Hopefully the government or family services took the child away from his parents!!

he should not have been allowed in such a dangerous situation and location, and hopefully their version of family services have removed the child and placed it in a safer location

Agreed, kids do not need to be involved with this. Riots are way, way to dangerous, pushing, surging, angry crowds packed shoulder to shoulder is no place for a 3 foot tall person to be in the middle of.

This is child abuse, where are his parents...if this were the US he would have been remanded to social services...I am in Moscow now and everything is normal here...flights were full, I see no signs of civil unrest...

I don't know what to make of the photo? One thing is for certain, I am adamantly opposed to children being used to make political statements. That stuff is for adults. Children should be outside playing, coloring, and doing what kids do.

Furthermore, that child has no business being at a protest. They tend to get violent. That photo is no different than the stuff the Nazi's did, the Soviet and Chinese communists, and even some of our benevolent politicians in the West. Here are some examples to refresh our memory.











I find such conduct disgusting, and anyone who would exploit a child for political purposes should be scolded. I don't care if it is a protestor or a politician. It makes no difference to me. As I said earlier, let kids be kids! They have got plenty of time to toil in politics and activism as adults. Leave the kids at home!

Hey thanks a million for this post mate this pic is very powerful and humble at the same time,now its my desktop pic.

thanks Jabba

David and Goliath sort of thing.
Reminded me of this...

No Fear.
When that boy grows up the world better watch out.

I honestly dont know if this actually upsets me. Where the heck is the mother and why did she let him stroll up to them like that. I can see the meaning behind this picture but my thing is, if SHTF, that kid will be smack in the middle of some really serious confrontation and possible fatal injuries

You are completely blaming the wrong people in this, that's what's shocking. Place responsibility where it lies.

And on the "bravery" issue, what is fear? Fear is the Human imagination, you fear things because you are capable of comprehending the risks to yourself through imagining the consequences of events. People fear pain, injury or death in instances like this, because they have years of education and experience behind them to teach them that there would be potential consequences.

Bravery is knowing those risks and acting selflessly despite them.

Therefore, this child is not brave, he is innocent and unable to comprehend what is LIKELY or POSSIBLE.

It still doesn't diminish the image. Instead of focusing on the mind of the child, focus on the minds of those thugs in their uniforms and contemplate what's going through their heads right now. Are they now thinking they're in the wrong job? Are they scared? Would they STILL charge the crowd and beat people having seen that kid right there in front of them?

The fact that they are still standing there is scary enough. I cannot imagine being paid to do that job and seeing a little kid in front of me like that. I would be immediately putting down whatever I was holding, taking off my helmet and crossing to the other side.

The day you're a thug like this potentially scaring, beating and possibly maiming little kids you are no longer Human. Every single one of those men is a danger to society.

This is the perfect example of what fear has done to the people. The child knows not fear for the authority the riot police hold.

Kids are absolutely awesome.

Seems to me that its a staged and why? just so that the pro western pro American opposition can have support Hench they are using children as a political tool which is unacceptably.

If you want to support the Russian opposition which is proven to be funded by the NED and USAID thats your problem.

Proud enough that you'd put your kid in that position, kneel behind them and then take a photo, no doubt.

That is what I see here. A reckless parent using their kid to make the internet woohoos.

sad really...

It is obvious you people don't know what is going on in this photograph.

A Russian source in the area (known only to me as "eddie") has confirmed that this "child"
who appears to be standing in opposition to this military force is actually a genetically
engineered breed of a new human super-species. This "child", while appearing
to be ordinary, does, in fact, possess the strength and stamina of ten men, the speed
and reflexes of the mongoose, the eyesight of an owl, the olfactory sense of a canine, and the
intelligence of Einstein, Hawking and Tesla combined. What you don't realize is that rather than
"appearing" to stand in opposition to this military force, this child is actually their LEADER.

...and while he possesses the mind of a genius warrior, he still likes to relax by riding his bike
and watching Barney just before leading his men into battle...

It is a kid on a bike, what is he doing? He is facing the troops in front of him. Don't you have some else to be?

You shouldn't judge other peoples bravery to be lacking the same as yours.

I think by body language, you can tell these men are "just standing there." It's a show of force. Their guns are not drawn, there is no tear gas to disperse crowds. Unless you threw a rock -- they won't be moving on you.

So a kid is just rolling up, or his dad said; "Sasha, daddy wants to take a photo."

It can still mean a lot for people who WANT to have fun with it -- but I think it's just a well-timed photo. No need for anyone to get upset about it.
