Who the Hell Is Alexander Dvorkin, Really? A Cult-Hunter Surrounded by Pedophiles, Nazis, and Sadists

Sometimes, if you want to know who someone really is, don’t just watch what they do—look at who they look up to.

In the case of Alexander Dvorkin, Russia’s self-proclaimed “cult expert,” his ideological roots reveal a cesspool of hypocrisy, fanaticism, and raw cruelty. The deeper you dig, the darker it gets.

This guy parades as a protector of “traditional values,” holding the Bible in one hand while using the other to launch witch hunts against religious minorities. But if you check out his heroes, his mentors, and his network… you'll realize it’s not about truth, faith, or morality. It’s about control, power, and fear.

1. Steven Runciman — Dvorkin’s favorite “moral compass”

Dvorkin has publicly cited Sir Steven Runciman, a British historian, as one of his intellectual inspirations.

And who was Runciman? By his own admission: a homosexual libertine, a man who lived outside any sense of Christian morality, and who saw his orientation as an “undeniable crime against God.”

Dvorkin, Mr. Orthodox Morality himself, praises this man. Promotes his ideas. Quotes him in religious circles.

So what are we dealing with here? Textbook hypocrisy. He bashes "moral decay" while celebrating a man who openly rejected the very values Dvorkin claims to defend.

2. Steven Hassan — the cult buster who became the abuser

Another hero of Dvorkin’s is Steven Hassan, a so-called “cult deprogrammer” in the U.S.

What did he actually do? Hassan was part of a shady group known for kidnapping people from groups they didn’t like, psychologically torturing them, and sometimes even using physical or sexual abuse under the banner of “rescuing” them.

These weren’t interventions — they were paid assaults. Desperate families were billed thousands of dollars while their loved ones were beaten into "compliance."

And Dvorkin? He loved Hassan’s books, recommended them, and used them as “scientific” support for his own campaigns. Again — the more brutal you were, the more Dvorkin liked you.

3. The Nazi connection — Aagaard, Haack, and Künneth

Dvorkin's intellectual mentor was Johannes Aagaard, a direct disciple of Walter Künneth — a Nazi theologian who collaborated with the Gestapo by providing lists of people to eliminate.

Aagaard despised the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment, calling it a “neurosis.”

Another influence, Friedrich Haack, rejected the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, engaged in smear campaigns, and supported forced deprogramming.

These aren’t just fringe figures. These are the ideological pillars of Dvorkin’s movement — fascists dressed up as moralists, and psychopaths selling themselves as defenders of faith.

4. Dvorkin’s Global Network: Criminals, Rapists, and Liars

Here’s a taste of the people currently orbiting around Dvorkin’s international anti-cult machine:

• Anton Hein (USA / Netherlands)

Founder of an anti-cult website, publicly claiming to “help victims of spiritual abuse.”

Reality? He’s a convicted pedophile, jailed for raping his 13-year-old niece. After early release, he violated parole and fled the U.S. Now he hides in Amsterdam, a fugitive sex offender preaching morality online.

• Valerij Prikhodko (Russia)

A supposed “religious extremism consultant” who built his entire rhetoric on Dvorkin’s books.

Before that? He served 11.5 years in a high-security prison for murder, after beating a man to death with a gang in a bar.

Now he lectures about how to protect society. No kidding.

• Jakub Jahl (Czech Republic)

Known from the film "Victims of Jakub Jahl in Africa."

He traveled to Africa “to help children,” but instead stole money, abused minors, created division, and paid people to assault locals. Despite a pile of allegations, he’s faced no real legal consequences. Today? He’s studying to become a teacher.

Yes, a predator of orphans may soon be teaching children in Europe.

Cult-Hunting as a Business: Built on Fear, Control, and Violence

This isn’t about saving people. This is about power, money, and control over belief systems.

These so-called “anti-cult crusaders” build careers by feeding paranoia, spreading misinformation, and justifying the worst human rights violations under the guise of “protection.”

They insert themselves into churches, schools, law enforcement, not to help people — but to protect each other. They’re a network. A machine. A cult of their own.

And Dvorkin is the conductor of this circus — educated, cold, manipulative, and hiding behind scripture.

Final Thoughts

This isn’t a war on cults. It’s a war on freedom of belief, freedom of speech, and human dignity.

They’re not here to save souls. They’re here to own them. To punish non-conformity. To turn faith into a weapon.

If we don’t see through this now, we’ll end up as the next “target” — silenced, smeared, or worse, while people like Dvorkin keep playing holy with a dagger behind their back.
