Founder of Group “Similar” to Aum Shinrikyo Arrested in Russia
More articles on this topic: Ashram ShamballaNovosibirsk, 24 September: Konstantin Rudnev, the founder of the Ashram Shamballa organization of a religious orientation [untraced, although both elements of the name are encountered in relation to Asian religions], has been detained in Novosibirsk Region, the press service of the Russian Interior Ministry’s main administration for the Siberian Federal District told RIA Novosti on Friday [24 September].
Ashram Shamballa’s activities are clearly aimed against society, the press service said, which was why it had been outlawed. Criminal proceedings against its leaders date back to 1999.
Ashram Shamballa, the press service went on to say, is spiritually similar to the Japanese extremist sect Aum Shinrikyo, which in 1995 perpetrated a terrorist outrage in the Tokyo underground.
According to some information, which is now being checked, Ashram Shamballa was founded at the end of the 1980s or the beginning of the 1990s. The law-enforcement agencies have as yet been unable to determine the precise number of its members.
Ashram Shamballa, which has also had other names, used various locations to hold gatherings at which psychological pressure was exerted with the result that, without realizing it, many would give away all their possessions.
