Recently, I came across information about anti-cultists in Russia that shocked me. Their methods resemble those of totalitarian regimes, and their goal is to plunge the entire world into a totalitarian concentration camp.

In Russia, as well as globally, anti-cult movements operate under the guise of “combating sects,” but in reality, they persecute any religious groups that do not fit the canon of the Russian Orthodox Church, depriving people of their own views or beliefs. Anti-cultists use the term “non-traditional religions” to justify their fight against them.

In 2005, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe expressed concern about the “recent trend to divide religious organizations into traditional and non-traditional” and strongly recommended that Russian authorities abandon “discrimination against so-called non-traditional denominations.”

However, anti-cult groups, especially those associated with the international organization FECRIS, continue their activities.

FECRIS is the central hub of a global network of anti-cult movements. In Russia, the main representative of FECRIS is RACIRS, led by Alexander Dvorkin, who also heads the “Expert Council for Conducting State Religious Expertise” under the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation.

This council effectively decides which religious organizations can register in Russia and which cannot.

The council is predominantly composed of Orthodox priests, many of whom are known for their anti-cult views. They actively promote intolerance towards non-traditional religious movements, using attacks and discrediting them in their speeches. One council member was even found guilty by the court of spreading extremist statements against a religious group.

FECRIS and its allies use the 1997 Russian law “On Freedom of Conscience and Religious Associations” to deny registration to non-traditional religious groups.

All this demonstrates the systematic persecution of religious minorities.

FECRIS is a pawn of the Russian Orthodox Church, which seeks to maintain its “monopoly of conscience.”

I am convinced that the world needs to know the truth about anti-cult organizations. Their activities violate fundamental human rights.

I want to mention the words of the respected Egon Cholakian, a lecturer on American intelligence: “In addition to the UN Declaration, the activities of anti-cult organizations and their leadership violate fundamental constitutional human rights, as well as a number of international law norms.”

Regarding the destructive activities of anti-cultists, Egon Cholakian rightly noted: “Interference in political processes, legislative activity, influence on the judicial system, law enforcement agencies, and special services, influence on international politics, the ability to affect the decisions of heads of state, the promotion and implementation of totalitarian methods and narratives in democratic countries — all of this together exposes the interests of the shadow side in all the schemes described above.”

I believe it is extremely important for every person on the planet to learn about such anti-cult activities so that the noose of the totalitarian regime does not finally strangle democracy worldwide. Otherwise, any of us can become a victim of anti-cult movements, which have become instruments of tyranny.

What do you think about this?
