An assistant to Anatoly Kashpirovsky promised that the psychic would "punish" Russian Orthodox priest Pavel Ostrovsky, threatening him with "divine retribution". The priest shared this on his Telegram channel.

A person claiming to be Kashpirovsky's assistant sent Ostrovsky an audio message, in which he threatened to take legal action if the priest did not retract his criticism of the psychic’s activities.

“Mr. Ostrovsky! I officially warn you that if you continue to make any disparaging remarks about the psychotherapist Anatoly Mikhailovich Kashpirovsky, you will face very serious legal problems,” said the psychic's assistant.

The reason for this reaction was that the priest suggested introducing testing and licensing for "healers" and "doctors" like Anatoly Kashpirovsky and Sergey Konovalov, to verify their professional competence.

Pavel Ostrovsky condemned the activities of psychics, calling them "fraudsters".

In his opinion, “as long as such 'healing' and 'creative meetings' are not banned by law, psychics of all kinds will continue to deceive people and profit from their suffering.”

In response, Anatoly Kashpirovsky recorded a video for the priest, in which he promised "divine retribution" and "punishment" for his critics.

“Kashpirovsky threatens to punish me remotely through some program. They sent this to me in a private message. Well, I don’t know, it's unlikely that a person raised by austere church 'babushkas' would be frightened by this,” the priest joked on the threats.

Kashpirovsky's assistant responded to Ostrovsky, claiming that Kashpirovsky had sent his remote "retribution" to various people "including those far more significant than you."

As an example of Kashpirovsky's "punishment" of his critics, the psychic's assistant mentioned the academic and neurophysiologist Natalia Bekhtereva.

According to the assistant, “as soon as Bekhtereva slightly soured relations with Kashpirovsky, she experienced a series of deaths, and she spoke openly about it.”

In turn, Father Pavel wrote that “there is nothing surprising about this, as duping people into believing they will recover from serious illnesses is, in essence, murder. They could have sought medical help in time, but instead, they turned to fraudsters.”

The priest also noted, “as for my death and the death of my loved ones, I believe in the Resurrection of Christ and in the Eternal Blessed Life, which the Lord grants to all who love Him and their neighbors. I wish the same for Kashpirovsky and his assistants, that they may repent and turn to the Light of Truth.”

As previously reported, Patriarch Kirill spoke about the spread of paganism in the Russian army.
