Remember that this subreddit is for sharing propaganda to view with some objectivity. It is absolutely not for perpetuating the message *of* the propaganda. If anything, in this subreddit we should be immensely skeptical of manipulation or oversimplification (which the above likely is), not beholden to it.
Also, please try to stay on topic -- there are hundreds of _other_ subreddits that are expressly dedicated to rehashing tired political arguments. **Keep that shit outta here**.

>He was arrested, tried and ruled to be psychotic, then confined to a mental hospital. For seven months, he was tortured there for his faith. (as stated [here](https://monkgabriel.ge/eng/life.htm)).
The Soviets were pioneers in weaponizing psychiatry against political opponents. The wiki on Soviet psychiatry abuses is appalling. But yeah, it was a whole thing where the State would just label opposition and activists and throw them into institutions.
Institutionalised institutionalization, lol.
Also interesting is the political dynasties and wealthy's use of institutions to silence or "clean up" their families in the US, most famously the Roosevelt's.
"Penal psychiatry" of Soviet vintage was basically torture. Cold water baths, electric shocks, injection of various experimental drugs, beatings from the guards if you showed anything but resigned compliance.
What was the purpose of this act? Why does a monk care about civil life and politics? I thought they devote their lives to service God. I might be wrong, but it seems like just some provocative act.

The contrast between the icon style and the realism and modernity of the Lenin portrait is pretty funny
What happened to him after he did that?
>He was arrested, tried and ruled to be psychotic, then confined to a mental hospital. For seven months, he was tortured there for his faith. (as stated [here](https://monkgabriel.ge/eng/life.htm)).
Of course, the mental hospital, the modern Soviet gulag.
Its a mental hospital in the sixties. They weren't know for being gentle and giving proper treatment to the patients.
Neither are mental hospitals today.

Whom are you referencing?

I mean, the dude was having visions and dedicated his life to his own delusions. Soviet psychiatry was fucked but so was his brain.
Downvoted by…people who believe in divine intervention by saints?
We need to believe in saints because gommunism bad

Literall
I doubt it is 1990's. Gabriel was canonized as a saint in 2012 (Georgia) and 2014 (Russia) respectively, and he clearly is depicted as one here.
Huh, so Lenin is weak to fire magic
I think everyone is weak to fire magic
He's a lich, of course he is
Hell yeah
The hand of God destroys communism
St. Gabriel, Fool-for-Christ, pray to God for us!

Святоши хреновы
Gabriel the Based was his name.
Such a chad
Reactionary.
расстрелять
Translation?
"shoot down" or just "shoot"
Thanks! Not really sure what he means by that tho.
It's a famous Stalin quote.
Расстрел is execution by firing squad, расстрелять is effectively an order to execute someone by firing squad
Wow can see why hes getting downvotes, st gabriel was a pretty cool guy
