A teenage ‘Satanist’ has been arrested after he reportedly confessed to setting fire to one of Russia’s most historic churches. The wooden church was built in 1774 by Catherine the Great and burned down in a raging inferno last week.
Russian cable news has named the teen, 15-year-old high school student Ignat Sharapov, citing law enforcement sources. They showed his satanic ‘temple’ in a disused poultry farm building, daubed in devil-worshipping signs and slogans. His cousin Ilya Kornilov told a local TV station, ‘He believed in Satan. He was into pentagrams, and he has a hall of evil spirits.’

As for the young arsonist, a law enforcement source stated, “He classifies himself as a Satanist. Allegedly, he just did not like the church.” A witness to the inferno shared the teen’s reaction after Sharopov was arrested by police. ‘He was a Satanist, dressed in black. And when he was detained by police, he laughed.’ Recently, he was seen cutting the heads off hens “just out of interest”.
Earlier, the boy allegedly ate breakfast and told his relatives he was going to destroy the church. The boy’s friend said he met him later that day and said he left after reading something on his tablet. “His expression changed. He got up and said: ‘I’m going to burn down the church.’”
One can only wonder how kids are easily misled by the wrong ideas. With any kind of information available on the internet, once you have found your interest, even if it is the worst one, you can always find people and websites of similar taste.
