From Pyatigorsk with love

 


There have been a number of very strange splinter groups from the ISKCON (Hare Krishna movement) in Eastern Europe. 

Here is another one, apparently from Pyatigorsk in Russia (Pyatigorsk is a resort town in the Caucasus). The members look either completely brainwashed or very, very awkward, as if they *really* don´t want to be at the kirtan, satsang, or whatever this crazy disco is supposed to be. 

Yes, disco. Hare Krishna disco. 

From a YouTube channel that contains a lot of short clips attacking cults in general and the ISKCON-ite milieu in particular.

  1. Ha ha! A substyle of Sovietwave it seems. Sovietwave is said to be nostalgia for a future people waited for but never got(workers paradise etc).
    And then add on nostalgia for a future iwith ISCKON that were never had either.
    I shouldnt have laughed. This is to sad.

  3. Yes, that looks like East Europe circa 1970 or 1980!
