Sect members from Belarus to return to Penza cave?

The nationals of Belarus who waited for the "end of the world" in a cave in Russia's Penza region and were eventually deported back home may return to the bunker, Vitaly Nedagon, the leader of the religious fanatics told Russian news agency Ria-Novosti on Saturday.  The Belarusians would come back if "there are serious calamities in the world", because it is only in the Penza region they can find a spiritual oasis", he said.

Nedagon also said that his followers could again gather near the bunker in mid-June. He is confident that the people who spent 4-6 months underground would definitely return.

Russian authorities have not issued any comments yet.
