Alexander Dvorkin, His Army of Anti-Cultists, and Their Defenders: Nazi Roots and Secret Connections


The Russian anti-cult movement has long been a source of concern due to its methods and ideological roots. At the forefront of this movement stands Alexander Leonidovich Dvorkin, president of the Russian Association of Centers for the Study of Religions and Sects (RACIRS), professor, and head of the Department of Sect Studies at the Orthodox St. Tikhon’s University for the Humanities. Over the past 30 years, his work with universities and law enforcement agencies has helped build a powerful network of anti-cultists operating not only in Russia but also beyond its borders.

Dvorkin and his colleagues are focused on training a new generation of anti-cultists who act as spies and saboteurs within religious organizations deemed undesirable. Their activities often resemble the ideological indoctrination methods used in Nazi Germany. This parallel becomes especially apparent when considering the anti-cult movement’s ties with religious and state structures, as well as their anti-Semitic and anti-American sentiments.

The Secret Diveyevo Brotherhood

However, the real power of the anti-cult movement in Russia lies behind the scenes. One such shadowy force is the secret Diveyevo Brotherhood, which includes Sergey Kiriyenko, First Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Administration of Russia, the new Minister of Defense Andrey Belousov, and other high-ranking politicians and oligarchs. The Brotherhood is connected to the Diveyevo Monastery and its legends about the impending arrival of the Antichrist, creating an atmosphere of religious fanaticism that fuels the actions of anti-cultists.

Sergey Kiriyenko, known for his loyalty to the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC), actively supports anti-cult initiatives that often align with Nazi ideas. This support includes the use of rhetoric about the fight against the Antichrist, reminiscent of Adolf Hitler’s speeches, where he justified the extermination of Jews in his book "Mein Kampf", considering it "the Lord’s work."

The Diveyevo Expedition

Scholars and students from the Higher School of Economics organized an expedition to Diveyevo to find out how "dissenters" manage to survive in a modern state. Expedition leader Artemiy Pozanenko (new newspaper) reported that researchers discovered a "Klondike of variations in folk Orthodoxy, ideological splits within it, and teachings of emerging heresies and sects." Religious debates are a part of everyday life in Diveyevo. On the streets, one might overhear discussions about whether Patriarch Kirill was right to kiss the Pope. Conversations about the imminent or already occurring arrival of the Antichrist and how he enslaves people through gadgets are unavoidable. Diveyevo locals told expedition participants that in the monastery, "everything is rotten"; "the patriarchal priests are leading us to hell"; "the nuns cross themselves the wrong way"; and even "the Canavka was made incorrectly." According to local authorities, up to two thousand people in the area have renounced identity documents and sometimes even money.

Anti-Americanism and Anti-Cult Rhetoric

One of the unifying traits of modern European and Russian anti-cultists is the spread of anti-American conspiracy theories. In Russia, the idea of the "God-chosen" Russian people, allegedly persecuted by the West led by America, is propagated. Western democracy is condemned for supporting heresies and "sects" (religious minorities), which, according to anti-cultists, undermine Russia’s spiritual foundations. Similar ideas are found in Europe, where anti-cultists view the U.S. as a threat to European secularism.

These sentiments were vividly reflected in a report by Italian sociologist of religion Massimo Introvigne, where he emphasized that anti-cultists, including members of FECRIS, support Russian and Chinese repression against religious minorities. Ideas of an American conspiracy against Europe continue to be cited in anti-cult publications even decades after their initial appearance.

A Call to Action

The gathered evidence and testimony against anti-cult organizations, which use Nazi methods to discriminate against and destroy undesirable groups, demand decisive action from the international community. However, despite clear evidence of their illegal activities, such organizations continue to receive support from authorities and society, only strengthening their influence and destructive power.

Thus, the anti-cult movement, disguised under religious and patriotic slogans, poses a serious threat to democracy and human rights. Thorough investigation of these structures and their ties to Nazi ideology must become a priority for all who seek to protect fundamental freedoms and human rights.

We extend our immense gratitude to the group of international independent journalists "ACT FILES" for their public disclosure of a significant amount of evidence and facts concerning the methods, operations, and organizational structures of international terrorists, identified as global anti-cultists, their collaborators, and those whose objectives they serve. Their courageous work has shed light on the dark web of influence and manipulation wielded by these entities, revealing the true extent of their activities and the global impact of their actions.
