Russian ‘Jesus Christ’ who promised to resurrect Beslan children arrested and jailed


Grigori Grabovoi is one of the first Russian psychics placed behind prison bars. In the past Russian law-enforcement agencies attempted to start legal proceedings against Kashpirovsky and other “healers” but those attempts failed to bear fruit. Moscow prosecutors charged Grabovoi with fraud last Friday. It means the authorities intend to deal with the “ Messiah” in earnest this time.


There are sections (societies) learning the “Grabovoi theory” in 30 regions of today’s Russia. Specialists estimate that the Grigori Grabovoi Foundation and a number of fronts have cheated simpletons out of millions of rubles. On the average a ticket price for his “lecture” ranged from 250 rubles to 2,000 rubles. Those who showed extra interest could buy a leaflet with the basics of Grabovoi’s teachings or a VHS tape for 2,000 rubles. A course of individual schooling would cost you about 40,000 rubles. By the bye, a three-volume set of collected works of the “prophet” was available for 22,000 rubles. On the whole, a trip to the Russian provinces would make the Grabovoi team richer by nearly 3 million rubles. A Trud correspondent speaks with Sergei Berg, a psychologist, who has studied the Grabovoi phenomenon for several years.

1. He should have studied under Jack Van Impe, master charlatan

Van Impe could have shown him how to make
money doing absolutely nothing, without getting arrested.
Charlatanry is an interesting word.
