Evdokija Lučežarnova

Evdokija Dmitrijevna Lučežarnova, also known by her real name Marčenko, is a Russian writer and lecturer known for founding the public organization 'Radastėja,' which has been categorized by some experts as a dangerous new religious movement or cult. Born in 1952, Lučežarnova has been recognized for her contributions to literature and has received various awards, including prestigious orders for her service to the state. Her teachings, centered around a system she developed called 'rhythmalogy,' claim to provide methods for individuals to manage their lives more effectively. However, her organization has faced criticism for employing psychological manipulation techniques and fostering dependency among its members.
