Ed Wolf in St. Petersburg visiting LaSky All of a sudden, the lights come on, the doors are thrown open. Bomb scare. We need to evacuate the building. The crowd moves calmly, lines up in a leisurely fashion, waits to get their coats. As I stand with them, I look through the windows that face the main street. There are people with cameras again, photographing us. But now there are others as well: men gesturing for us to come outside. Their smiles are threatening. A young dyke with short blue hair leaves the line and goes up to the window and faces them. The group outside presses forward, encouraging her to come out. She stands there and shows them her middle finger. Bard and Olga and I retrieve our coats. We’re instructed not to go out the front door where the crowd waits for us. Instead, we’re herded into a back courtyard where we stand and wait. The temperature is so cold our breath creates clouds of mist. I talk to Gulya and ask her if Olga and I can leave. Olga has to get home and I can’t really follow what’s happening in the movie. Gulya tells us it’s not safe yet.
