Georgiyevtsy

MOSCOW: They came, they said, to clean the square. Just after seven in the evening, a dozen or so Orthodox Christian youths gathered for several weeks this summer around a monument in a central Moscow park, roping off its perimeter and evicting those chatting and drinking beer on its steps.
The youths - who call themselves the Georgiyevtsy after St. George, the patron saint of Moscow - were patrolling the area around a small Orthodox chapel, in an attempt, they say, to expel the gay men who cruise the area to meet friends and look for sex.
