“Vissarion the Teacher”, or “Jesus of Siberia”, Russian ex-traffic cop Sergei Torop hugs a small girl while meeting with his followers in the remote village of Petropavlovka on August 18, 2009. For thousands of followers, Vissarion is no less than the second coming of Jesus of Nazareth, reincarnated 2,000 years after his crucifixion, deep in the Siberian wilderness.
