Where is the

balance between

religious freedom

and state’s

obligations?

Religious freedom is not the permission to religious

organizations to do what they want.

Conclusion:

the state should combat totalitarian sects

as:

  • totalitarian sects violate cornerstones of a democratic society

and human rights;

  • a sound ideological system has not took shape yet which

facilitates spreading of destructive cults in Russia;

  • the main task of state is to protect its citizens, from economic,

ideological and sexual exploitation, from suppression of their

rights if a sect or a sect-like organization tries to violate it;
