A pagan sect in Russia. I can't say whether it's closed or not, because there are still references to it online today. The man who beat her isn't even in prison, apparently, and the video itself is very old, from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
The neo-pagan sect "Troyan's Path." Its leader is "Aleksasha," Alexei, real name Alexander. The sect is dominated by a cult of the leader, "Aleksasha," who behaves lordly, chooses his favorites, and rewards them with "favor." Those who do not agree with the leader's teachings are removed.
Troyan's Path Seminar. The organization is widespread in Novosibirsk and the surrounding region. There is no permanent address. Seminars are held several days long and are closed to the public. They are held in community centers and sanatoriums in the city's resort area. Announcements are usually made through acquaintances and past seminar participants; sometimes announcements are made at universities.
At the seminars, sleep is limited to a few hours, and food consists of tea and lard. All the women at the seminar develop a passionate attraction to the leader, who manipulates their behavior and consciousness. Group fornication is practiced, and it is filmed. Some experience memory lapses lasting up to several days after such orgies. The goal of the seminars is to teach the ability to manipulate people and "everyday magic," as well as to unlock supernatural abilities.
Doctrine: A neopagan teaching that advocates the development of certain superpowers in humans, strongly resonating with the doctrine of the New Age movement.
Religious rituals include communication with the "god Svetovid," during which everyone must sit comfortably and relax. The task is to see a glow around the "master's" head, who chants, "Come to us, god Svetovid!" and everyone responds by repeating, "I am the light."
An offering of bread is made into the fire.
