metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: A significant group of new religious movements in modern Russia consists of structures
  of Orthodox genesis, usually referred to as para-Orthodox sects. The total
  number of their adherents is estimated at tens of thousands of people, which are
  fairly evenly distributed throughout our country and a number of neighboring
  states. The number of scientific studies devoted to this phenomenon is not too large,
  while with the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, their activity has
  increased dramatically and has acquired in many cases an openly extremist character. Currently, some para-Orthodox sects are banned on the territory of the Russian
  Federation, and their leaders regularly become defendants in criminal cases of incitement
  to hatred. This article attempts to define the criteria for the division of the
  categories “schism” and “para-Orthodox sect”, and also offers a classification of such
  sects and sectarian groups by the type of leadership, genesis, dominant doctrine
  and time of occurrence. Separately, the question of the main myths and rumors that
  exist in this environment is addressed, it is also concluded that it is necessary to
  develop specialized courses on the phenomenon of such sects within the framework
  of theological education.
