Икона: Четыре ЛГБТ Россияне

This icon shows the persecution of 4 LGBT Russians in Saint Petersburg. A pride march was held and the police brutalized the peaceful demonstrators. The four people embracing are taken directly from a photograph from the event. They stand in the midst of tear gas used to break up the demonstration. Barbed wire surrounds them with the text of the Russian Anti-LGBT “propaganda” law at the bottom in red.
To the left stand 3 figures representing the police (полиция) and Maxim Martsinkevich a.k.a. “Restrukt/Реструкт” from the group Occupy Pedophilia, skinhead vigilantes who film themselves torturing unsuspecting gay men.
To the right stands American anti-gay activist Scott Lively, holding his book The Pink Swastika, which claims to prove that militant homosexuals caused the Holocaust and the Nazi regime. Lively seeks to publish it in Russian for an eager public. His scroll holds his direct quotes: “The battle to protect Russia from homosexualization [sic] has only just begun… Stand against this scourge.” He wears the garb of a priest - he is a Christian Pastor at home. His robes allude to the American Flag.
