Hundreds rallied in St. Petersburg Sunday to protest the destruction of a demon statue ripped down last week. A group calling itself the “Cossacks of St. Petersburg” has claimed responsibility.
The figure of a bat-winged creature on Lakhtinskaya Street dated to around 1910 and was ripped down and apparently destroyed by vandals.
“What happened is awful,” 35-year-old protester Anna Astakhova told the AFP news agency. “If it’s true that the bas relief was destroyed for religious reasons, then we are descending into the Middle Ages.”
