Pt 2
Rudnev is the author of the book "The Way of the Fool ", which is considered "sacred" among the adherents. The book is written in poor language, with an abundance of obscene language and sexual descriptions (the site of the book is
http://www.wayoffool.com). It is of openly bad taste, but it has reached, among adherents, huge popularity.
(Steve Hassan’s note: I have a copy of a videotape purportedly made of this book. It is low quality, depicts a variety of violent scenes, and is in extremely poor taste.)
After 1999 under the statements of parents of victims on his criminal case (references to this are in document: "The Academician of Occult Sciences has interested Office of Public Prosecutor of Novosibirsk area."

Rudnev has wanted to expand his cult outside of Russia and the Ukraine for a long time.
And after a television show on "NTV" in which it has been quite clearly said that "Belovodje" or "Esoterical Ashram of Shambala " is a destructive sect representing obvious danger to society; he seems to be focusing on recruiting people in other countries, especially individuals with money.
The first news on "seminars" carried out in Greece and Netherlands came in 2001. Then there were letters on the same seminars in Estonia and Latvia. He also has his “shamans??? recruiting in Mexico, Costa Rica, Brazil and the United States.
In the final declaration of participants in the International Scientific - Practical Conference "Totalitarian sects - threat of XXI century " that took place in Nizhny Novgorod 23 - on April, 25, 2001 Rudnev's sect was included in the list of "the most known and dangerous modern destructive cults."

http://www.newsib.cis.ru/2000_26/duhpr_1.html Seminars are given which are expensive by Russian standards. Deception is used constantly to lure potential recruits to seminars. They believe that the ends justify the means.
Sadkhaks (students) are encouraged to eventually go to ashrams, often just apartments, in which virtually all of the BITE model mind control practices are used, especially sleep deprivation, poor diet, constant activity, including push-ups, violent dancing, menial work for long hours making objects that can be sold by the cult.
Names are changed to reinforce the identity change into a cult member. Women are encouraged to dye their hair black, and to wear make-up that makes them look like cheap prostitutes.
Ashram members sleep on the floor, often without blankets, with a window left open. Instructors sleep in separate rooms on beds.
When the sect was only in Novosibirsk, somebody named Alexander Haritidi was close to Rudnev. This person now lives in America. After the events of September 11, 2001 in America, an anonymous message arrived at the guest book of our site, in which Haritidi appeared accused of participation in acts of terrorism. Alexander soon wrote a letter on the site in which he has explained that all this is a lie. In the letter he expressed readiness to help in questions connected with Rudnev. Probably he would say more about activities of the sect in America."
