Russian Cult Members Leave Their Cave

The last nine members of a Russian doomsday cult have left their cave where they have been living since last October because of the end of the world that was programmed for April or May this year. The reason they left: fumes from two of the members rotting corpses were jeopardizing their health.

The nine were the last of a group of 35 men, women and children that had dug into a hillside near the Volga region town of Penza in November and threatened to blow themselves up with gas canisters if authorities tried to remove them.

Their leader, Pavel Kuznetsov, predicted the apocalypse for April or May this year, but would not join them underground, saying God had different tasks for him. In March, he attempted suicide after 24 members left the cave.
