Russian Ram Rahim: Meet Sergey Kirienko, sex cult leader who preaches 'orgies for enlightenment'

A sex cult leader who recruited women to his sect that strives to search for ‘enlightenment’ through orgies and prostitution has been arrested in Bulgaria and is facing extradition to Russia.

Sergey Kirienko’s case is reminiscent of recently convicted godman Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh who was jailed for rape after two of the victims came forward with their ordeal. Media reports said that Ram Rahim was ‘obsessed’ with sex, and there was a tunnel connecting his ‘cave’ to those of the women’s living quarters. Women who were raped by the godman used to say they had been given his ‘maafi’. Now it appears, we’ve found his Russian counterpart.

The 41-year-old Kirienko is accused of forcing his followers to participate in orgies in his sex-obsessed sect Kaula Dkharma, reported the Daily Mail. A former fitness coach, he is accused of even kidnapping the children of his female disciples. While his wife Ksenia Khodyreva fled abroad, sect founder Tatiana Severtseva is under house arrest following her extradition from Sofia in Bulgaria.

Branded an imposter by the Russian media, he also makes money by selling online porn from his concubines. He divides the members of his concubine, into different castes and the top 15 ‘high-caste’ women lived with him.

According to the Russian TV network NTV, everyone who is invited to join the sect has to participate in orgies. Law enforcement officials in Moscow said that they believe Kirienko will be extradited soon and will likely face criminal charges.
