Intro of the Day:

NIKOLSKOE, Russia (Reuters) – Fourteen members of a Russian doomsday cult on Tuesday abandoned the remote underground bunker where they had been hiding for nearly half a year awaiting the end of the world.

So who are these people? Alas, the story doesn’t give many details, offering just this tantalising glimspse of their beliefs:

The sect is an ultra-devout splinter group of the Russian Orthodox church. They reject processed food and say bar codes on products are the work of Satan.
