Vlad statue’s the enemy in Central Park playground

- Evan Simko-Bednarski

Russian President Vladimir Putin is apparently making enemies everywhere.

A blood-red statue of the Russian strongman has drawn the ire of watergun wielding kids in Central Park.

The statue is a creation of French artist James Colomina. “This sculpture aims at denouncing the absurdity of war and at highlighti­ng children’s courage when faced with violent, catastroph­ic situations triggered by others,” Colomina wrote on Instagram when it was first unveiled in Paris.
