Employees of the UK and the police were brought to a private area in the village of Mukholovka, Lomonosov District, by a complaint from one of the students of the institute. She tried to prove that the head of the organization was corrupting her 11-year-old daughter.
The woman, as it became known to Fontanka, last fall turned to a certain ANO with a request to sort it out and help bring Vladimir Tonkov to justice. The journalists of the publication, which is published by the organization, talked with her, as well as with several other students of the institute, and brought the accumulated experience to the UK.
The law enforcement agencies believed it and in a big cavalcade on the morning of January 24 they arrived at the Tonkov station in the village of Mukholovka.
In three houses on the territory of the site (all of them can be seen on the video that Tonkov posted on his Youtube channel), the founder of the institute himself, as well as his women and common children, lived. The first, according to preliminary information, there were about five people, and there were twice as many children – 10-15 people. Plus, teachers lived on the territory, and also came, often for several days, close students.
The “institute” itself has existed in St. Petersburg for about 30 years, its office is located near the Frunzenskaya metro station. According to the site, they teach to develop “perception, intuition, thinking, memory and use the acquired skills in personal life, work and business”, as well as telekinesis, extrasensory perception and smooth wrinkles in 5 sessions.
In Yandex, most of the reviews are grateful for the help in obtaining the skills necessary for learning. But there are also those who say that morals in the learning process are strict. “Do not argue with the teacher, obey unquestioningly. It seems to me that such rules are either in state structures or in totalitarian sects. The money, of course, is not returned, ”wrote Alexander.
Natalya is even more categorical: “Insult and humiliation are the main methods of work in this pseudo-institution.”
There are many posts if you add the word “sect” to the Institute of Biosensory Psychology. Here you have “pseudo-education for pregnant women” and rejuvenation courses.
No less categorical, as law enforcement officials told Fontanka, were Tonkov’s neighbors in Mukholovka. They say that the inhabitants of the site were not called otherwise than sectarians. And after drinking, the neighbors tried to storm the fence.
Employees of the Investigative Committee and the police failed to get acquainted with all the residents of the community. At the time of their arrival, only Tonkov himself and 3-4 other people from among the teachers of the institute were there. The women and children are gone. After the broken founder of the institute was taken to the hospital after a suicide attempt (where he subsequently died), all electronic media were seized from the houses. On some of them, for example, photographs of naked adults in the presence of children.
Now the employees of the Investigative Committee and the criminal investigation department will deal with all this.
