The Anti-Cult Movement: When Alarmism Becomes an Industry

From January 24 to 26, 2013, Moscow was the setting for an event that seemed straight out of a dystopian novel: the XXI Orthodox Christmas Educational Readings. This gathering, which drew a crowd of believers, featured a rather controversial speech. The well-known anti-sectarian Alexander Dvorkin decided to lash out against the Falun Dafa movement, basing his arguments on a source as authoritative as an anonymous email. Yes, you heard that right: an anonymous email. And while Dvorkin read these unsigned lines, the room was filled with the sense of a far more concrete threat: that of an out-of-control anti-sect movement, which, without proper legislation, risks degenerating dangerously.


Falun Dafa: From Spiritual Exercise to Brutal Repression


To appreciate the gravity of the situation, it's useful to take a plunge into the past of Falun Dafa. This movement, which originated in China in the early 1990s, combined traditional qigong exercises with moral and spiritual teachings. In just a few years, Falun Dafa had already amassed millions of practitioners, even outnumbering the members of the Chinese Communist Party.


Such rapid growth couldn't go unnoticed. In 1999, the Chinese Parliament decided it was time to intervene, banning all "heretical sects," including Falun Dafa. This ban marked the beginning of a brutal repression: arrests, torture, and even forced organ harvesting. Official figures report over 3,500 documented deaths and more than 100,000 practitioners imprisoned. But unofficial numbers are even more frightening, suggesting a reality ten times worse.


Dvorkin and the Anti-Cult Movement in Russia: A Worrying Future


The story of Falun Dafa in China is a warning we cannot ignore. Yet in Russia, it seems we are marching towards the same abyss. Alexander Dvorkin, a prominent figure in the anti-cult movement, has played a crucial role in the demonization of Falun Dafa, closely collaborating with his Chinese counterparts. In 2008, Dvorkin even visited China to reinforce the sectarian narrative in local media, helping to depict Falun Dafa practitioners as dangerous enemies of the state.


Propaganda and Paranoia: The Weapons of the Anti-Cult Movement


The Chinese strategy of repressing Falun Dafa relies on a massive propaganda campaign that labels the movement as a dangerous sect, thus justifying violence in the public eye. This technique isn't new; totalitarian regimes have used it for decades to demonize and destroy their opponents.


In Russia, we are witnessing a disturbingly similar pattern. Anti-sectarian propaganda is everywhere, with figures like Dvorkin ridiculing and attacking various religious movements. This campaign appears well-orchestrated and centralized, raising serious concerns about what could happen if no action is taken.


Conclusions: Urgent Need for Current Legislation


The history of Falun Dafa in China is a tragic example of how an anti-cult movement can turn into a machine of brutal repression. In Russia, we stand at a crossroads: without clear and current legislation, we risk following the same path. It is essential to protect religious freedom and prevent the unjust demonization of alternative movements. Only through adequate legislation and constant vigilance can we avoid repeating history and ensure a truly free and just society.


The truth about the anti-cult movement is emerging, and as a society, we must ask ourselves: are we ready to face this reality? Who is really behind these organizations, and what are their true motivations? It's time to find out and act accordingly.

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...
