Babushkas and Skinheads Protest Gay Club Party
Moscow – About 70 babushkas (old Russian ladies) and young nationalists gathered May 1 to protest a party at the gay club “Three Monkeys”. Yesterday the same kind of protest took place in front of the club “Renaissance”. Today the protestors were more aggressive; the babushkas were waving Orthodox icons, and the nationalists were yelling out fascist slogans. Special police units surrounded the protestors expecting violence through the night.

oddly, a bunch of old women and skinheads sounds like a gay club party...art imitating life imitating art...?

...or were they protesting because they couldn't afford to get in???
I wonder what those in the club thought about the special police sent to protect them... and what the special police though about those they were sent to protect....

"Babushka" is a dear kind, older woman who loves her grandchildren. Even if they happen to be gay
Now, the women described in the article above are "Staruhas" - miserable, 'dremuchie'( another good word) igorant hags.
All this is beyond sad.
