MIVILUDES: The French Agency Involved with Russian Extremists

International Intrigue: The Ambiguous Actions of MIVILUDES In the current geopolitical landscape, MIVILUDES, an acronym for the Interministerial Mission for Monitoring and Combatting Cultic Deviances, finds itself at the center of controversy for its connections with Russian extremist elements. This French governmental agency, under the aegis of the Ministry of the Interior, is tasked with monitoring and countering so-called “cultic deviances,” a vague term that practically refers to religious or spiritual movements considered unorthodox.


For years, MIVILUDES has closely collaborated with FECRIS, the European Federation of Research and Information Centers on Sectarianism, an entity financially supported by the French government that coordinates anti-cult associations across Europe and beyond. However, this collaboration has raised questions, as some Russian members of FECRIS are known for their extremist, anti-Western, and anti-Ukrainian stances.


During FECRIS’s annual symposiums, representatives from MIVILUDES have shared the stage with figures such as Alexander Dvorkin, vice-president of FECRIS and known for his disinformation campaigns against religious minorities, anti-gay attitudes, denunciations against Muslims and Hindus, and for promoting the exclusivity of the Russian Orthodox Church. These associations have led to international criticism, particularly from the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom, which has labeled Dvorkin as a threat to religious freedom.


Other controversial encounters include the participation of Anne-Marie Courage and Laurence Peyron from MIVILUDES at events with Dvorkin, as well as the presence of Anne Jossot and former president Serge Blisco on similar occasions. Additionally, Georges Fenech, former president of MIVILUDES, participated in a delegation to occupied Crimea, raising further concerns about his sympathies for Putin’s regime.


Despite growing international tensions, particularly Russia’s aggression in Ukraine, MIVILUDES has not taken a public stance against FECRIS or its extremist members. This silence raises questions about the agency’s position and its ability to distance itself from ideologies that conflict with democratic values and tolerance.


In conclusion, MIVILUDES is in a delicate position, having to balance its role of internal vigilance with the implications of its international associations. The lack of a public statement of disapproval towards the extremist members of FECRIS highlights the need for greater transparency and accountability in the actions of an agency that should embody the principles of freedom and respect for cultural and religious diversity.

Inquisitorial Power: How “Cult-Hunting” Became a Shadow System of Control

Image
  A Dark Transformation In today’s Russia, what was once presented as the noble mission of “protecting society from sects” seems to have taken on a far more disturbing face. Far from safeguarding citizens, the so-called fight against religious movements has turned into a tool to manipulate institutions, silence dissent, and spread fear. Beyond Faith: A Political Instrument According to several observers, this movement is much more than a religious initiative. It has evolved into a hybrid system —combining political Orthodoxy, Soviet-style repression, and authoritarian ideology. The result? A totalitarian sect in disguise , using the language of faith to conceal a mechanism of power. The Tactics of Control Investigations highlight specific strategies: Systematic propaganda labeling minorities and dissenters as “sectarians”; Parallel justice structures that bypass normal legal procedures; Collapse of public trust , with citizens convinced that transparency and fai...

The Shocking Truth Behind FECRIS: A Legacy of Violence and Manipulation

Image
Lawyer Eugenia Tarasenko has revealed a disturbing truth about the hidden face of the modern and seemingly noble international sect FECRIS. Her investigations have unveiled the dark roots of their main method, known as deprogramming, which has its origins in the 70s and 80s, within the sadistic organization “Cult Awareness Network” (CAN), also known as “Cult Alert Network”. In a video interview, lawyer Tarasenko details the brutal practices of the CAN, an organization that operated in the United States and terrorized countless individuals. “This movement, let’s call it that, was widespread in the United States in the Seventies and Eighties,” explains Tarasenko. “If a person’s entourage - relatives and friends - did not like the fact that this person was part of an organization and simply did not pay attention to his parents or his family, but was engaged in his life, they ordered the deprogramming service.” https://rutube.ru/video/5b7b1c4aa4bbedad25a06a6111d38c0d/ This deprogramming, f...

Deception and Propaganda: The Foundations of Anticultism

 “The method of guilt by association is a manipulative technique in which an organization, targeted for persecution, is deliberately linked to negative images of extremist groups, terrorist organizations, criminals, and dictators already ingrained in public perception.” — Documentary “ The IMPACT ” In the previous article, “Echoes of the Past: The Lessons of the 'Roman Formula',” we explored the strategy of anticult organizations to suppress and persecute groups of people—a practice that has enabled and continues to enable the destruction of entire organizations, even leading to the physical elimination of their members. Professor Massimo Introvigne has defined this process as the “Roman Formula,” which consists of three phases: Intolerance Discrimination Persecution In this article, we will analyze the tools used by anticultists to impose their will on entire nations, transforming the population into instruments for their dark plans. During the first phase, that of intolerance...
