In 1989, there was the Moscow peace festival. all these "rich" rock bands went to play there. Why don't they have a few benefit concerts for the children. I listened to Ozzy say back then, these people don't even have toilet paper. it's very sad situation. our children here in America need to see this and appreciate what they have. I showed my 14 year old son another video of how kids have to survive on the street. He said, "Mom these poor kids, I really appreciate what I have"
why don't those evil bastards in the Kremlin do something about this situation this should not be happening.those people in power that have denied these kids help will be cast in to the lake of fire on judgement day amen.
@blijytoo actually they did something - which was promote law enforcement, give credits to young families, etc. THings did improve but there are still way too many homeless kids and kids abused at orphanages. I think it is hard to comprehend for someone who lived in a stable state all their lives. Imagine if EVERYTHING you had broke down, how long will it take to put it all back together?
@mrkv39 i suppose your right humans can only do so much but it seems the rich in this world have no conscience when it comes to helping those that they exploit. like the Russian manager who owns Chelsea football club he has just bought a yacht for £500.000000 sad man.then its just been revealed that Microsoft have been employing Asian workers in chine to do its production work for 39 pence per hour and to think Microsoft was a fair reputable company there just like the rest evil bastards.
@blijytoo agree that a lot of wealthy people can do more to help. But, the problem doesn't come from "greedy corporations" or anything like that. The problem comes from government corruption and drug abuse by irresponsible parents. Social problems like that cannot be solved by money alone.
This is a beautifully made video, made with such love and passion. Thank you for sharing this and helping others.
I am in shock that this is your first video- if you hadn't written it in the description I would have never been able to tell (and I'm still having a hard time believing it!)

Where did you find that video of the streeet children get clothes? Where the little boy starts to cry??? Im at the moment gathering clothes and rais fundt to sent cloths to the russian street children and wantet to make a video about it:)
Im not working with any charity, there is not one where I live. So I started searhing on the internet. And I found a man named Alex and Im kinda working though him. Sending the clothes to a nun in Finland and she brings the clothes to him and the street children. I watched the children of leningradsky yesterday, oh my, my heart breaks everytime I see children like that. I have opend a website for street children. Look at my channel and you will find it:)
Alex Gorelik? You should be aware that there are a lot of scams there with people using kids to make money off them. There a number legitimate charities like DOW (non-religious, non-political).
mistake, donæt know why I wrote Alex?? I ment Martha. My oh my, Don't know where I got Alex from?? I hope the persons I send clothes to are nice people how will help... it's hard finding desent people to help you when I don't have the resourses to get this though....
kids were meant to be cared for and loved by adults - when that is missing and when they realize that they are garabage kids that no one wants, they do drugs to forget about it.
Yes, try to be a 5 year old kid with almost no cloth in -20C. You would dring and sniff glue to keep warm to. Also they don't have anyone to care for them, they have to do something for escaping the reality.......
i worked for about a year with an organization in moscow that helps homeless kids. I think roughly half of the kids tested had STDs.... average age of those kids tested (both girls and boys) was about 10-11 yo.
from prostitution - sometimes they do it outright for money and sometimes for food/shelter during winters when someone chased them away from their spots on heating pipes.
I know. And no one knows about. They don't talk about it and if you just walk by, you wouldn't think they are homeless. They are running around, eating ice cream, playing video games (that;s when they have money) and when they don't, they go to these squares where they sell themselves - and to a passer by it appears just a kid going with his parent or something. And what's worse, they don't realize how wrong that is. To them it's just a way to get money, just mechanics...
SoccerPhreak, thanx. You are sharing a truth as we all know it. Most will care and a few will act. We have to address the root causes. I think we have forgotten who we really are and you help remind, thanx agn.
amazing vid, but horrible that it needs to be made. horrible. breaks my heart that there are any, and THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of kids in this situation! & not just russia! terrible, absolutely horrifying.
go to google video "children of leningradsky" - its the documentary where most of the video here came from. its such a bad documentary - you know what i mean. its sad.
these kids need help, and most, are barely getting any at all. we need to help them, and pray for them. really hard =(
eVERY YEAR WE GET KIDS FROM rUSSIA HERE IN nORWAY. eVERY YEAR THE SAME ID IS HERE TRYING TO RAISE MONEY FOR HIM AND HIS FRIENDS. AND EVERY YEAR I BYE HIM A GOOD VINTER JACKET AND SHOOS. AND I ALWAYS GET HIM SOME FOOD TO EAT. ONE DAY, WHEN I HAVE THE MONEY. I WILL VISIT HIM.
The music is not American. By the way, I like Russian music, too. I think the person who made this video was trying to get a point across, and music or not, this is a serious situation.
Nicely done video showing the real and serious nature of this problem. The music, however, is terrible. Must you Americans bring your rock and roll everywhere you go? Thank you but we can do without it in Russia.
sorry its so horrible but it was my first attempt at trying to combine several different videos and pictures with a song ... I will try again sometime to do a better job

my suggestion to do something about it :
We should establish an youtube community
dedicated to all these kids all over the
world...?
or does such a thing already exists, maybe ?
