Is the world becoming more evil? Does Satan have a firmer grip on humanity today than he ever has? Many people believe the answer is yes, which may explain the dramatic rise in exorcisms being performed in countries all around the world.
Russia is no exception. In the past we've presented audio and video of deliverances and exorcisms from that country, provided to us by our friend Eugene Safronov. Eugene assists in many of these exorcisms, telling us that he has been witness to dramatic, supernatural phenomena.
This video clip, recorded in March 2007, depicts an exorcism being performed on a man in his early twenties by Father Valdimir in the Orel region of Russia, about 5½ hours from Moscow. The young man had been plagued by disembodied voices and depression. His family sought help from a psychiatrist, to no effect, and then an occultist, which may have made matters worse.
Then the young man's aunt brought him to a deliverance ceremony, in which the clergy seeks to rid congregation members of any demonic influence. During this ceremony, as the priest read off the names of various demons, the young man apparently responded to the "Spirit of Death" name – or rather, it is believed that the demon inside of him responded. The attempted exorcism then performed is seen in this video.
Unfortunately, Eugene tells me, the young man was not liberated during this rite. More information is available at Exorcism Russia.
