[Editor's note: Andrei Novikov is a Russian journalist, who at one point was subjected to involuntary psychiatric confinement after publishing articles critical of local government. His case first rose to international attention on this blog and was supported by Reporters without Borders. From time to time, he contributes opinion essays to us, such as the following, which takes a look at the interesting case of a doomsday cult led by Pyotr Kuznetsov, which has been featured heavily in recent Russian news.]
THE END OF JUDGES AND THE DAY OF PYOTR KUZNETSOV
Andrei Novikov, journalist
In Russia right now there is the interesting trial of Pyotr Kuznetsov, an ascetic from Penza who has declared the world to be ending.
I don’t know if he’s mentally ill or not.
