The Children of Leningradsky

In the haunting documentary "The Children of Leningradsky," eight years ago, between 1 and 4 million Russian children became homeless in the wake of the Soviet Union's collapse, with over 30,000 living on Moscow's streets alone. The film sheds light on a community of vulnerable youth at the Leningradsky railway station, where they struggle to survive, often through prostitution, glue sniffing, and addiction. These young lives are marked by tragedy, abandonment, and abuse, yet amidst the chaos, hope and resilience persist, as seen in the poignant farewell to a deceased classmate and Misha's heartfelt message of faith and acceptance.
