Damn he looks old
Come and See
Those eyes seen some shit
That’s an adult now. A full grown person who learned too fast that people are horrible.
And he’s pissed
Come and See (2022)
That is a face that will NEVER forget or forgive. Sorry you had to learn hatred so young, little dude. 🙁
That kid is like 37 years old, and he works 80 hours a week in the local foundry.
Living through.
Idiots in these comments. Immaturity over a serious topic of people dying
That damn boy seen too much
He’s going to spend the next 10 years plotting his vengeance. Poor kid.
Change the clothing and this photo could be 1945.
A proper [thousand yard stare](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thousand-yard_stare). War never changes.
He will never be the same. His life will never be the same. His future will never be the same. And he is angry because of all he lost. In 10 years, we’ll hear about this kid again.
Who’s the photographer?
I’m 38 and I’m pretty sure thay kid is older than I am.
Looks like the farmer’s son from all quiet on the western front
We always talk about how previous occupations by the US in the middle east bred terrorism and hatred towards the West. I expect the same coming out of this conflict. I have no sympathy for Russia.
Dude is gonna have a lifetime of hate towards Russia.
Hopefully one day he’ll be face to face with loser Putin.
He makes me want to wrap a fluffy blanket around him and rock him… poor child.
COME AND SEE – Junior Edition
This kid doesn’t look like a kid at all. He looks an adult trapped in a kid’s body. You can tell by his eyes that he’s had all his innocence and youthfulness stripped away. It’s been replaced by despair and sorrow. This kid has seen and been through things no one should see/go through. This is truly tragic. War is terrible.
That kid has obviously seen things 🙁
Heartbreaking.
Something very haunting and sadly disturbing when you know the circumstances. Truly sad
That poor kid. Reading some of the absolutely horrific things the Russian bastards have done during occupation, he’s definitely seen things no one, much less a kid, should ever see.
This picture is breathtakingly sad. The look on that kid’s face hurts my soul. I don’t have words for the depth of sorrow, and loss I see. I wish with all my being for Russia to stop and leave these people in peace.
He’s seen shit nobody should ever see.
My SIL teaches Ukrainian immersion and has refugee kids in her class. A couple have seen shit and won’t speak at all.
…first thing that came to my mind upon clicking this was grumpy cat. Fuck war, i’m so desensitized…
Looks like the kid from Come and See
War is the destroyer of youth and innocence
Little old man boy
That poor kid makes me think of the kid from “Come and See”
He reminds me of Flyora from Come and See 🙁
I hope this is an instance of a photograph being misleading but that may be my way of not facing reality.
Im telling you guys: when you become a parent this shit hits you different. This is heartbreaking.
That’s the start of generational hate right there.
My son is around the same age, can’t imagine him going through that. It’s so hard to see. How can people do this to other people?
As a photographer myself one can spend years trying to capture a photo like this. Some never will. Quite a powerful image. So if you ever wondered why photographers seem to take so many shots of the same subject, this image is the answer.
