Perhaps Russian kids didn't smile, but at least this one seems curious.

Interesting people...the kid seems very poised and adult for his age.

Thanks BB, Bob and Alrac.
Being a foreigner on only a 6-week journey to the old USSR, I have to be careful to NOT over-interpret what I saw and what I didn't see.
But to me, the boy has a vapid look on his face: neither afraid nor friendly. Nor curious. Nor interested. What I call a "nothing" look.
As an elementary school teacher (long ago) I luckily never had any kids that had that expression.
I only saw it when I was working with school children in an entirely different region of the country- and it depressed me because so many of the kids had the same expression.
