Smalls - https://www.smalls.com/LIGHTSOUT In the fall of 2007, an apocalyptic vision drove an Orthodox cult to take refuge in an underground cave near the remote village of Nikolskoye, Russia. Their prophet, Father Pyotr, remained above ground to recruit more followers and send them below to await the coming of the Antichrist. For 198 days, the members, including young children, were surrounded by concerned authorities day and night. The so-called “chosen ones” threatened to blow themselves up with over 100 gallons of gasoline if authorities interfered with what they saw as their God-given right to prepare for the end of the world. 00:00 - Whats Up Everybody 5:29 - The Fall of the Soviet Union and the Rise of Cults Across Russia 8:43 - Pyotr Mikhailovich Kuznetsov 19:47 - Heavenly Jerusalem 33:21 - The 90s-2000s and Cults 41:17 - Crawling and Gnashing of Teeth 53:23 - The Standoff 1:01:44 - The Collapse 1:13:30 - Judgement Day 1:25:14 - Conclusion Follow & Subscribe To The Show!
