The Hincesti police have taken action on this case, said the Chief of Police, Viorel Cernăuțeanu, during a press briefing.
“My colleagues from Hincesti have taken note of this issue. They visited that family, but at the moment, there are no risks or dangers for citizens or people around,” the police chief said during a press briefing.
According to Deschide.md , the pseudo-religious cult is called the “Russian Orthodox Church – Tsarist Empire”.
Members of the cult take an oath to the “tsar”, give up their identity documents, their property, do not recognize the authorities, the state or the official church, claim that students should not go to school, do not recognize medicine, do not register as a religious organization and do not pay taxes.
They also promote anti-Semitic messages on social media and incite religious and racial hatred, have apocalyptic visions, and seek to create an independent state, called “Triune Russia,” which would include Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, the Republic of Moldova, and other states.
The organization, originally from Russia, is said to be led by Leonid Vlasov, nicknamed “The Tsar”, included by the Russian authorities on the list of terrorists and extremists. Previously, he was convicted several times, including for pedophilia. Currently, the sect is banned in Russia and Belarus.
The Secretary of the Metropolitanate of Chisinau and All Moldova, Vadim Cheibașs, stated that he knew nothing about this sect: “The legislation in the confessional field is quite free, respectively, more entities of this kind may appear and it is not necessary for us to know them .”
Currently, members of the cult reportedly meet on a hill near the village of Dobrogea, where they practice various rituals and prayers on holidays. Both in the village near Chisinau and in Stolniceni, the territory is surrounded by a fence over 2 meters high.
