On 1 November 2023, the Security Service of Ukraine and the National Police are conducting searches across Ukraine of the AllatRa sect members, as reported by several Ukrainian mass media outlets citing sources in law-enforcement agencies.
The law enforcers say, "This pseudo-religious organisation worked in the interests of the Russian Federation and systematically promoted Kremlin narratives in our society".
As the UOJ wrote MP Oleksandr Dubinsky said that the head of the Presidential Office, Andriy Yermak, Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk, the head of the National Bank, Andriy Pyshnyi, a film producer close to Yermak, Artem Koliubayev, and a number of Ukrainian officials and MPs were involved in the AllatRa sect, which was founded by the former head of the Security Service of Ukraine in Crimea, Oleh Kulinich detained for treason.
According to Wikipedia, AllatRa is a religious movement founded in Ukraine, which operates in several EU countries and in the United States. Its teachings are based on the "new age religion" New Age, which unites mystical movements of occult nature. As prophets, sect members honour Buddha, Jesus Christ, Mohammed and St. Agapitus of the Caves.
