!anticommunists some context.

Father Gregory Apollonovich Gapon was a left wing political activist and a glowie for the tsarist secret police (Okhrana).

He led a mostly peaceful demonstration of workers to the winter palace where they were shot in 1905 and then called upon workers to stand against the tsarist regime :marseyfedposthmmm:(this event triggered the 1905 Revolution). A year later the commies figured out he was a :marseyfedpostglow: so they hanged him. The Okhrana glowies deserve an effort post tbh.
