THIS
MAN THINKS HE�S JESUS CHRIST & HE HAS HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE FOLLOWING HIM
BY MR ROBOTDECEMBER
How much do you know about the actual culture of Russia?
Many people have misconceptions about its culture, as stereotypes tend to falsely represent
all kinds of cultures.
One thing about Russia is that it is a very strongly Christian country.
If you meet a Russian or Ukrainian in the US, for example in California where a lot
of them live, they are probably from a strongly Christian family (speaking from firsthand
experience).
Perhaps this is the culture that allowed the cult of the Church of the Last Testament to
thrive.
In some respects, the family values and discipline of Russian people is admirable.
A man in the deep Russian depths of Siberia runs what is essentially a cult, claiming
to be Jesus Christ reincarnated.
Sergey Anatolyevitch Torop is referred to as Vissarion.
He is now 56 years old.
According to Wikipedia:
He founded and heads a religious or sect movement known as the Church of the Last Testament
with its head church in the Siberian Taiga in the Minusinsk Depression east of Abakan,
in the southern Siberia Kuraginsk district of Krasnoyarsk territory, in the small settlement
of Petropavlovka.
VICE did an expose on the organization several years back, but recently the viral story was
revived by tabloid mainstream media, pointing out that the man is a former traffic policeman.
The VICE documentary is currently at over 9 million views.
According to a recent article from Mirror titled �Is this the reincarnation of Jesus?
Meet the former traffic policeman turned cult leader being worshipped by Russians�:
Thousands of Russians think it�s true and worship 56-year-old Sergey Anatolyevitch Toro,
who calls himself Vissarion and lives with his two wives.
He teaches reincarnation, vegetarianism, and apocalypse.
His worshippers include the residents of a network of villages in Kuraginsk, in southern
Siberia.
His followers observe strict rules and are vegetarians.
They are allowed no vices such as smoking or drinking alcohol and money is banned.
It would make sense that the western mainstream media would revive this old story to make
Russian culture generally look bad.
Certain moral values of the Russian people are certainly admirable, and particularly
strong.
A culture that appreciates family is definitely present there and is something to be appreciated.
Cults can form in any country or culture.
In the West, people in great positions of power behave like cult members behind closed
doors.
