Have you tried posting this on reddit? The collective that is reddit might be able to solve it for you.

The image is from Greece, I was more interested in what the prints they're holding up are supposed to symbolize...

It helps if we get the dates of the photos. The left one looks like Romanticism (1800 to 1840) and the right looks like Realism (1850-?).

Damn I was a bit wrong on the right one. It is Romanticism.

Greece on the Ruins of Missolonghi is an 1826 oil painting by French painter Eugène Delacroix, and now preserved at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Bordeaux. This painting was inspired by the Third Siege of Missolonghi by the Ottoman forces in 1826, during which many people of the city after the long-time siege (almost a year) decided to attempt a mass breakout (sortie) to escape famine and epidemics. The attempt was resulted in a disaster, with the larger part of the Greeks slain.

It looks like their visual message has to do with revolutionary martyrdom. The paintings don't necessarily show socialist revolution, but the emotional content is the focus of what they are saying is repeating itself in the current upheaval.

Considering the description b5c found of the one I assume both depict "greece" actually...
