Cult members leave cave after 5 months waiting for world’s end

FOURTEEN members of a doomsday sect have left a cave in western Russia after almost five months waiting underground for the end of the world, leaving 14 more behind.

“Two cells collapsed so they had to leave early,” said Anton Sharonov, a spokesman for the local administration in the Penza region.

Fourteen people came to the surface, including two children, he said. Women wearing head scarves were shown walking unsteadily near the cave in footage shown on Russia’s NTV channel.
