a week before going to siberia we visited the belgorod region to meet. a form of the syrian follower she's one of very few former members of the sect willing to talk about her experience. and i first heard about it when i was in st petersburg they showed a film that affected me deeply. cried so hard you wouldn't believe the film was about humility and pride and it really worked in my mind but it didn't say anything about him being christ accept it as an ecovillage but the spiritual side is

destructive is a u.f.o. enthusiast and it occurred to him sometimes that he was the second coming with. you both explains how she finally came to join the community she worked as a physiotherapist there she gives confused accounts as if reluctant to discuss the hardest part of her own personal heartbreak when she left the community and the siberian tiger seven years ago a daughter to chose to stay behind. i bought this house for my daughter she wasn't married then she left her first husband and had nowhere to live so i thought i should keep. this can be a living room this could be a kitchen. the air here is so beautiful and of course i'm waiting for my daughter and her family.

tatiana lives in the so-called dorm coaster that's what vissarion followers call the sacred mountain where only the most devout members may live it's a kind of a monastery where they celebrate a major religious event the fusion with the teacher it takes place every year on the eighteenth of august and we hope to tend to our new. ten year well a day well tell me how you are my little grandson. i wanted to ask you why don't you mayfair all of you. leave you alone bring all the kids and come alone me help if you ask me to. i don't. i don't like. being cut off i know. because of.

this is petra power of the largest village in the area largely populated by followers of the sorry on this church of the last testament. we were to spend two days here before going to the mountain to see the man known as the teacher almost everyone in petra part of is a member of the religious community meat fish and poultry are strictly forbidden here only vegetarian food is allowed over milk and eggs once banned have recently been accepted it's easy to tell the followers from the village locals by their appearance and dress. when i remember them walking around there is if in some kind of world the women wore long beautiful dresses they seem to glide through the village with that blessed eyes and smiles and of course i could see there was something not quite right with their minds.

well there were people from garia from italy from merica from germany. tom clark a student from britain has stopped by this place on his way from australia well should i should i explain why. that would be nice basically have come because i'm curious it's impossible to reach the mountain aided first time visitors especially journalists and for a nice have to meet one of the syrians closest associates led to new video nic of for an introductory meeting. to talk about syria no. matter what you don't think that he's god is just the

representative of god is god's word is that right yes of the word of god on earth is he a reincarnation of jesus knows yes ok person is really hard for me because why he's saying is christ makes a lot of enemies and things and i was looking looking deeper i couldn't find the answer and i did after a while and i don't want to have the answer to these questions because no one here knows no one to connect their yes he's the christ it's just a belief that christ originally from belgium guert who's lived here for ten years was the first person we met in petra public. he married here and as he puts it himself found peace of mind. i was traveling before i was always looking for

a person because i want to stay involved because i want the family and i want to clean things in my i want to clean air clean nature i mean water earth. at first garrett worked as a carpenter but two years ago he contracted and so full light as from a tick bite. his hands were partially paralyzed and he lost flexibility in his wrist. garrett had to give up woodworking he and his wife have three children who all live in the village. talking is going to st petersburg to visit the grandchildren from her daughter's first marriage they stayed with their father after thirty on the left for siberia she also wants to see the man who helped her through the psychological effects of her life with the sari on community we went to

a blue cloth to learn more of her inside story about the sect and what motivated her to join the new religion. at first i had no idea it was a sect i went to work and when i finally arrived on the mountain i started to see things more clearly. i began to understand it it was a sect and not just an orthodox community. this is the main church for the community in petra parable of. were invited to attend a wedding performed by one of the brotherhood priests. i

don't think these people just get their tune. in to clean air and they're here for the to turn to have the same opinion as i have done more exactly the same and i'm sure it's connected the teacher. to the choir but are there was a rule especially on the mountain when you hear the bells ringing and you have to stand still and listen. you know most of what they did it wasn't physical work well providing for the family. even growing vegetables that was considered important. the crucial thing was to abate what the teacher said he's go. on and do the people who believe that.

or society as we know is coming to some kind of end. the size as we now know it whether we believe it or not that ship that can carry on the way it does now. they said there will be a great flood and i wouldn't be able to return. the shame to say it now i believed it but i was confused by what they said it was you can take any aspect of human life and society and it doesn't matter what you look at you can clearly see that the process of destruction is underway. i had to save my grandchildren well they would die that's what made me tell my daughter come here come here i used exact words. had said to me.

you know i thought it was pretty interesting the fact that so many people have made the effort to move out from the left i mean you know it's going to quite a hard thing to do and i don't know i want to know fact and when i say why have so many people believe it. tom. if you want to ask the teacher anything. i mean you can write it down tonight in question format and let me translate. if the teacher considers them porton maybe you will have a chance to meet him along with the other guys so. give it some thought and. if i come with some questions.

the interim agreement with the red is now in effect what are its prospects can't israel and its congressional i was specifically the senate kill the deal and if for some miraculous reason all sides agree to keep to the agreement what can we expect next. well groomed in the future coups here so we fix the roads focus on new technology. on this moon show no policy is complete without school shootings. and we learn about the next in kill suv revolution this has the potential to save lives. knowing the update on a. we've got the future of covered. if

. there's a bus service from to trip to the other vissarion villages in the area the next settlement. is just ten kilometers away it was in the early one nine hundred ninety s. that many followers started to come here from all over the former soviet union now there are nearly five thousand. they also bear apartments in big cities to settle here after following their teacher to siberia since then a local house prices have rocketed several times over from petra public a village it's sixty kilometers to the sacred mountain. she would use needle today anyone who wants to come here is very well come on up anyone can come and buy

a plot of land and build a house that there's no question about that across. the room from petra pall of qur'an through the taiga there's no electricity in the remote final village before the mountain the road ends at a small car park. from here followers must begin their climb to the dawn cloister where they will be part of the ritual fusion with their teacher they have to walk through four kilometers of quick mud and slush. also in crew was given special dispensation and headed for the mountain only only a vehicle able to travel and headed to this quagmire a swamp buggy. will

finally arrive in the wooden gates of the dong cloister where visitors are greeted by the local guards the followers have a unique style of genuflection before passing through the gate adding a circle to symbolize the unity of all religions. yeah i tried to convince her to try to prove that it was a sect but it's dangerous that she had to leave it was a study she had lost her mind she just wouldn't listen.

in the left of this aryan brotherhood in two thousand and five as a true christian she regrets her years spent in siberia and still feels guilty about bringing her daughter into what she began to realize was a cult. she owned a studio flat in st petersburg she sold that to settle down in siberia she met her second husband. and had to child with him. on the day we arrived at the mountain she and her husband were taking part in a liturgy of the sacred symbols at the heart of the settlement it seemed they had already heard of our early a meeting with the bush they were clearly not keen to talk to us.

i really don't know why don't you come in for tea or something. we accepted her invitation left the camera running and went into the house the couple did not want to be filmed. tiana and her new family live in a much bigger house than the one in belgrade that blue book has bought for her. thank god i have a house that's big enough for more than just tatiana. there are people who sold the city flats and now they have nowhere to go some have even cut of all contact with relatives and have no want to go back to me. i have two grown up children they have been here where they leave with their father. how can a woman what is specially a mother who abandoned two children. when they were just six and ten and a half years old say she is happy. i feel comfortable here i know there are many

good people in other places but people find special things that are important to them i'm not here for the nature but because of the way people treat each other. people here in the don't course to come from diverse backgrounds adrian castro is a physicist who lives on the mountain with his wife and three children he was always interested in the esoteric. yes i'm scuba i'm from cuba a socialist country where that sort of thing is banned but i was still interested in the one nine hundred ninety s. i was a student at hopkins state university i studied physics and mathematics in those days was sort of young traveled around the soviet union. or you they held meetings in big holes and people came to listen to his teaching or if you noticed you know that's how i found out about his message. religion and faith shouldn't just be

decoration in your life. it should be your life. that's why we came here to be a part of life in the community like that where we try to live in harmony with nature grow our own vegetables and to produce our own food. for. the summer dry and above all we try to make our life for the community as if it was one big family and that's the most important thing. as a faithful member of the community adrian must open up his own home for the night to guests who will attend the festival.

at five o'clock in the evening the faithful begin to make their way to fusion valley on the mountain where exactly seven pm they will at last set eyes on the man they have made the journey to see. at first glance the procession might resemble a well directed performance every face down reveals just how serious this event is for each one of the followers.

and let the sacraments unite us with the spirits made in unites us with christ. was our teacher so be as good. as the fusion begins followers tried to achieve a spiritual connection with this area that teacher. can see and he used to say that he had god's energy running through him. and that through the fusion he was sending that holy energy to his fellow is. so that they would be perfect some of the spiritually. and physically.

but. the following day we hear that the sari on has agreed to meet tom clarke a british tourist and for his questions we were invited to that meeting as well accompanied by eight. i well when i came here i i just thought i was coming out see everything and i spoke to. yesterday and he asked me. if i wanted to have some questions for. maybe i'd get a chance to meet him so now that there's a prospect i'd be very interested. but it would be interesting

i mean that's really why i can see what he's all about. this area and agree to meet us in the house his most trusted apostle. one of the. we get ready in a room overlooking this aryans mansion and wait for his appearance. he is and by jim's house is a pier much bigger and more luxurious than any of the other homes here on the mountain. and the man who calls himself god's envoy on earth turns out to be quite down to earth. he willingly answered all of his foreign guests questions.

to new teacher must not return in the same body. when the time comes for him to say something. he must be reborn into the same life experience as the people around him. and is there any reason why. you even arrived. in russia in the russian language. because conditions here are the most favorable some of the psychological state of society you physical condition of the earth because during this period surface will undergo significant changes i came here to lay the foundations for the salvation of mankind and this was the most suitable place. after her trip to st petersburg you both travel to the town of dead just outside

moscow. she's come to meet father on the twenty biggest he works to rehabilitate people who have been cast off from society. bless you my child. oh are you let me give you a hug. here was achieved all the goals that you blessed really. churches in siberia and a death or a refuge. how is the sect. members bad really you once helped you worf to find her own path after leaving the sect inevitably she also wanted to talk about her daughter tatiana. she got married

and had a baby and then came to st petersburg. we met and we went to church to baptize the child. at first she seemed quite positive about it but in the end she left. without even saying goodbye to me or the children. people that came to you what kind of physical state where they. of course the thing is they were all mentally ill. they had developed a variety of psychological problems that very often sadly ended with. complete isolation from society is never ever good for people. it is a. i fail to save my daughter. but safer in ways that only you know i. know you know she will come back when i
