Russia declares Ukrainian religious movement AllatRa ‘undesirable’

Ironically, it is commonly considered pro-Russian teaching in Ukraine

Russia’s Office of Prosecutor General has declared the activities of AllatRa, a religious movement established in Ukraine, “undesirable” in the country, the agency has revealed in a statement.

In the statement, AllatRa is referred to as a “pseudo-religious teaching”.

“AllatRa activists who reside in the Russian Federation receive instructions from Ukrainian curators on how to contact the representatives of opposition forces and conduct unified coordinated actions to discredit the policy of federal and regional authorities,” the Prosecutor General’s Office says.

At the same time, AllatRa is considered a pro-Russian organisation in Ukraine. The teaching’s popularity started growing in 2013 just before the War in Donbas.

AllatRa claims that all Slavic peoples will unite in the future, mostly thanks to a wizardly saviour, a man whose description resembles Vladimir Putin.

Ukraine’s Centre for Analysis and Security suggested in February 2021 that AllatRa be banned as a Kremlin pet project that promotes Russia’s narratives.

“AllatRa is known for promoting pseudoscience and crazy conspiracy theories involving aliens and secret powerful elites who sacrifice children,” a BBC investigation notes.
