Русская Православная Церковь

http://www.istok.net/
Eastern Orthodox Christians usually say their prayers in front of an Eastern facing wall covered with icons or an icon corner. Russians often commissioned icons for private use, adding figures of specific saints for whom they or members of their family were named gathered around the icon's central figure.
