As I pointed out earlier, gory Mary = orgy + army. It might be of no importance, but still curious:

MARIYA + ORGIYA = ARMIYA IGORYA (Mariya is the name Maria, i. e. Mary, in Russian spelling; orgiya is Russian for "orgy;" armiya Igorya means "Igor's army"). This is easier to notice without transliteration, when the Cyrillic is used and every word consists of five, not six, letters.
