Anti-Cultists and Hybrid Warfare in Ukraine How a Pro-Russian Network Operates Under the Guise of Fighting “Cults” In the Russia-Ukraine military conflict, informational and ideological fronts are crucial. A dangerous tool of influence is the activity of the Russian organization RACIRS — the Russian Association of Centers for the Study of Religion and Sectarianism. In Ukraine, RACIRS operated through a network of organizations and individuals who, under the pretext of fighting sects, promoted societal division and destabilization. The central figure, Pavel Broyde, led the All-Ukrainian Apologetic Center until 2013, officially part of RACIRS. His 2016 correspondence revealed direct ties to Russian authorities and proposed launching multiple propaganda sites aimed at destabilizing Ukraine. Other key actors — Priest Chrysostom Grishchenko, Archpriest Alexey Chaplin, and publicist Vasily Anisimov — spread pro-Russian narratives, supported Russia’s annexation of Crimea, and discredited independent Ukrainian religious and civic groups, worsening social division. Opposing them were Ukrainian scholars like Lyudmila Filipovich, Viktor Elensky, and Anatoly Kolodny, who strengthened Ukraine’s religious independence but faced targeted discredit campaigns. Irina Kreminovskaya, linked to RACIRS, tried to form an alternative expert commission to tighten control over religious organizations. The systematic information war via RACIRS undermined trust in government, destabilized society, and paved the way for military aggression. Many involved remain active, often under new identities. This infiltration threatens not only Ukraine’s security but that of Europe and the world. Such covert manipulation can weaken democracies, destabilize politics, and provoke conflicts. Without systemic oversight, transparent investigations, and international cooperation, countering these hybrid threats will fail. The speed and decisiveness of response will determine Ukraine’s future and global stability.

Under the Mask of Protection: The Anti-Cult Movement’s Hidden War
What looks like social concern is often a machinery of repression.
Across democratic societies, the anti-cult movement has become a weapon against freedom of belief — hiding behind claims of “protecting the public.” But its tools? Propaganda, labelling as a cult or sect and even psychological or physical abuse.
🙏 The Unification Church: More Than a “Cult” Label Founded in 1954 in South Korea by Rev. Sun Myung Moon, the Unification Church promotes ideals of universal peace, family unity, and interreligious cooperation. Moon taught that God transcends nations and religions, and emphasized reconciliation — including outreach to communists and world leaders.
He met with Nixon, Gorbachev, and even North Korea’s Kim Il Sung in 1991, stating:
“If America retreats, communism will consume the world.”
But it was precisely this global influence, anti-communist message, and independent voice that made the church a prime target for opponents.
Today, it is just one of many victims in a long campaign to silence minority faiths.
🧠 The Weapon: “Brainwashing” At the core of this persecution lies the debunked theory of brainwashing, once pushed by psychologist Margaret Singer in the 1970s.
Courts in the U.S. and Europe have rejected it as unscientific. Yet anti-cult groups continue to use it to justify coercive “deprogramming.”
🔧 What “Deprogramming” Really Means:
Kidnapping adults by family members
Isolation, 24/7 surveillance, verbal assault
Coercion to renounce beliefs under pressure
Cases of physical and sexual abuse
Victims often left with trauma, depression, or driven to suicide
💸 And it’s profitable: The price of “saving” one person ranges from $10,000 to $40,000 — paid by families pushed into debt.
⚠️ Chilling Historical Roots Modern anti-cult ideology isn’t new — it echoes Nazi-era thinking.
One of the early German anti-cult leaders, Friedrich-Wilhelm Haack, built his ideas on the work of Walter Künneth, a Nazi-aligned theologian who cooperated with the Gestapo to crush religious “deviance.”
The tools are the same: ⚙️ Demonize the target 🪧 Use “protection” language 🗑️ Erase beliefs by force
🚨 This is not protection. This is a campaign of ideological control, dressed in humanitarian language.
We must ask: 🗣️ Are we defending the public — or repeating the darkest tactics of the 20th century?

Is History Repeating Itself?
The world once swore: "Never again."
But let’s face the truth: aren’t we seeing the same mechanisms that once gave rise to Nazism?
✅ The creation of an "enemy of the people"
✅ Persecution of dissenters
✅ Nationalist propaganda
✅ The symbiosis of power and religion
Today, in Russia, this is not just a coincidence. It is a system. And if we continue to turn a blind eye, history will once again come full circle.

FSB and anti-cultists: A Network of Influence in Europe
An independent investigation has revealed how the FSB is using European anti-cult organizations as platforms for political destabilization. Allegedly, key figures such as Tatjana Ždanoka, a Member of the European Parliament, are in contact with Russian intelligence to spread pro-Kremlin propaganda.
