A picket was held in Voronezh against psychological trainings of the Planet of Success movement

On October 31, a picket was held in front of the Komintern Palace of Culture in Voronezh against the seminars held by the training center of the Planet of Success movement. The participants of the action urged those going to classes to think about whether the "Planet of Success" is a "sect".

The picketers refer to this movement as "destructive", since it is organized according to the network principle, orients those who come to the quick and easy achievement of success, and seeks to attract high-level managers as learners.

The organizers of the action sent appeals to the prosecutor's office and the regional department of the FSB with a request to pay attention to the activities of Planet of Success.

Among the participants of the picket are practicing psychologists and those who called themselves victims of the "Planet of Success". In the Voronezh diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church, they claim that they have nothing to do with the action.

The police initially refused to open a criminal case against the organizers of the trainings due to the absence of corpus delicti. However, on December 14, the Blagovest-info agency reported that the prosecutor's office of the Kominternovsky district of Voronezh canceled the police order. Thus, law enforcement agencies will check the activities of the "Planet of Success".
