I hope the Russians are not as gentle with them as they were with the Greenpeace pirates. Unless they send a strong message to such radicals, they will be perpetually incited by them.
Obviously some people don’t get the message. It is one thing to be a homo but another to tell the world in Russia that you are. Their country, their rules.
The Russians have their own brand of radicals to deal with, the Muslim separatists that are leading the wave of bombings and hostage situation that have led to very aggressive SWAT-like takedowns. There is no, ZERO, tolerance anywhere in Russia for any kind of “gay-rights” activism, and it is crushed with the same ferocity as any other disruption of public order there. Regardless of what economic base the Russian state is founded upon, the rulers in that country are still Russians, and though the Cossacks have long since passed into history, their successors are still very much entrenched in the fabric of Russia.
