One foreign lady photographer went down to the bottom of society of St. Petersburg Russia, where she has met children, junkies, prostitutes or often all together in one and made all those photos.
Sniffing poisonous glues inducing hallucinations seems to be one of the main fun for those kids.
The photos might look disturbing for someone..

Poor young people!
I agree… Very sad.
OMG this is considered a luxury where I live.
Out of the gene pool.
Unbind our words you pigheaded fleas!
Is Russia a “Great Country”???
you will find these sorts of images in any country.. United States, Great Britain, France, Germany… it’s a world wide pandemic
and it’s worse in Brazil… 8 to 13 Years old children addicted to crack….
Lucky here in Brazil we don’t have Meth or Heroin, otherwise we’ll be all doomed… To have crack is bad enough, crack is a plague on Brazil, a real social problem.
There is no Meth in Brazil? That sounds like a good business opportunity.
Zero Drop, I’m surprised also.
Meth labs are so common in the Desert Southwest you can sometimes smell them in the air!
Mexico is producing the most meth now because of big drug busts by the DEA in the states.In 2005 to 2007 Utah and Missori were the largest manufacturers of meth in the country.
what are you talking about.. of course there is Meth in Brazil…
In my 35 years of life, born and raised here in Brazil, I never seen Meth or heard of it in here. And I lived in Rio de Janeiro some years.
Heroin, on the other hand, in the big cities like Rio and São Paulo, if you have enough money, yes, you can have some. But isn’t a popular drug, absolutely. People don’t like needles here, this is a fact. Maybe, if you can look pretty hard and have money, you can get some Meth. To have no meth at all is an impossibility, but nothing like in the USA, where to get Meth and Heroin you just need money, the offer is no problem.
In Brazil, Marijuana is common, very very popular, “socially accepted” on big cities, almost. Cocaine too, but less expressive because of the quality and price, but it’s very easy to find. LSD and Ecstasy are also common on big cities. Crack, in other hand, is a plague, many many children addicted on the entire country, an ugly picture.
Crack alone is very know to produce pictures far worse than these from Russia. By the way, between poor people, glue is popular across the country, exactly like on the photos above.
Definitely is not a privilege from Russia these pictures, I am 100% sure that similar pictures can come from any part of the globe.
Argentina -al menos en eso, y tristemente – es muy similar a Brasil.
Subtitles please! What the hell was that white van with blue letters?
Probably a place to trade needles and test yourself for AIDS..
I’d guess that the RV is some kind of needle change place, maybe run by religious people?
Btw, the side of the van says “St. Petersburg”. Can’t tell about the other text
Yes, free sterile needles, condoms and pregnancy tests.
I’m surprised they didn’t get a picture of an addict injecting something underneath their tongue!
It’s tragic to see someone young trying so hard to distroy themselves because some horrible adult has convinced them that they don’t deserve anything better!
Very sad.
The needle that delivers the drug stabs the mother first.
The women are so beautiful, it’s a shame that they live their lives like that.
Did they say “might look disturbing”
I think I might have nightmares.
Very very sad depressing pictures.
I was in Petersburg this year-and I have seen things like that-its sad,but you can meet drugs,prostitution etc in europe too,its not only a Russian it´s a global problem.
fake
why would junkies let themselves be photographed doing these things?
You’d be surprised what people do for money.
Somebody, need to help that boys, it`s really sad
Yes, is very sad and they need help. But they’re a drop of water in the ocean. There’s not enough help to all the addicted on the world.
And the drugs are the symptom, not the cause. They use the drugs as an escape. Ruined homes, lack of perspective, poverty, no qualification to find a job and other social problems are the real cause of this. At least they have some little help with these free condoms and free needles, better than don’t having them.
The girls are pretty, it’s a pity to see them in this situation. But I’m not surprised with this kind of situation anymore, doesn’t impress me anymore since a long time.
The world isn’t pretty, you know? And I’m not talking about Russia.
Fake, staged photos!
I would say that for a few bucks (sadly used to buy more drugs) they wouln’t care about some pictures taken… Even more if they’re high.
Russia has a Cosco now!!!!second pic down.
Cosco is not Costco
Oops,I was thinking of the wrong word.
Cool looks like a good party
Don’t they ever!
Look the filthy Capitalist Swine are turning are little Russian girls into addicts and hos!
This is so disgusting you should not post this!
You don’t see outside of your house often, do you, Musa?
I’m tired to see scenes almost like these in broad daylight, on the street. The bigger the city, more common they are.
People *MUST* see these scenes. Definitely. To know that these things exist, so when someone talk on addicteds, everyone knows for sure of what thew’re talking about.
You are correct Zero Drop. I see this and I feel so ashamed and angry and I am sick inside for these beautiful Russian children, what else can I say.
Now isnt freedom a wonderful thing!
Go mind your own little addicts and hos. Then we talk freedom!
How many drug labs and drug traffikers from your neighboring countries are in your country?It is easy to blame someone else!
Do you know someone using drugs Musa?
These addicts dress nicer than most rich American teens
You can leagly purchase drugs on the streets and in cafes in Norway!Drugs are made in many countries and not just in the USA!
Many good things have come from the capitalist USA Musa,not just drugs and gangsters which have been a long time world problem!!
is like in Brazil…
in Brazil the children who live in street use “Crack” and “Sniffing Glue”
the heroin is not used in the Brazil, is very expensive.
everything this is very sad!
Poland, Wykop.pl
we with friends used BENZIN.
eeehm …. why is this post in the category “funny”? O___o
I totaly agree, this is not funny! category fail

experts in injections, even in foots they are injecting drugs, wtf
These wretched, depressed people do deserve something better. They live in their own gulag.
المشكلةهي ان الاغنياء يعتقدون انهم لن يصبحوا سعداء الا بشقاء هؤلاء
Russia is poor and corrupt, that’s why there are so many orphans, alcoholics, crime, violence, child abuse and children being sold as sex slaves there even in 2013. It’s a very sad epidemic.
