Series Toy Soldiers, 2015

From artists website: „In 2015, a proposed program from the Russian government entitled the “Patriotic Education of Russian Citizens in 2016-2020” called for an eight percent increase in patriotic youth within the next ten years, and a ten percent increase in new recruits for the Russian armed forces. Over 200,000 youth in Russia are currently enrolled in patriotic clubs, with 10,000 in Moscow alone.“

It’s not just the United States that have a highly armed and increasingly militarized population.
