Does the cult have any influences from local culture or is it a completely new ideology?

It does claim to be successor of first Indo-Europians, and their first empire(such state never existed but Sanara leadership kills anyone who mention that)
Historically, Samara is birthplace of Indo-Europian tribes and cult uses it for their propaganda.
 
Chapter Four:
Sacrifice of Soul

There is one strange even in history of Samara. After 1968, Kain couldn't be found in any records or stories.
Reason for such disappearance is still unknown. Some claim he was killed and discredited by his successor witch is unlikely because he was founder of that occultist regime. Some suggest he gone missing from Samara and went on journey, never to be seen again.
Whatever the reason is, Samara got new, more cruel, more practical leader: Dmitry Romanovich Gromov.
This man was one of the oldest in mystical cult, claiming to be 1016 years old, and in mystic community it was seen as a truth. Several slave camps later, whole Samara saw it as only a truth.
Gromov made Samara super power that it was because of several projects he made:
1-Slave farms where made in Kain era but it was Gromov who made them more effective and more numerous. Slaves from Kazakhstan where first victims of this project but Gromov saw such racial discrimination wrong. Don't you think he was against racism, no, he saw great potential in northern slave market. Northern warbands ruled by bandit leaders, Iron Lords, where gladly to accept traders from Samara even their faith. Same goes to Kazakh Khans. Witch bring us to project number two.
2-Article of Confederation was signed on November 1970, when 13 Iron Lords and 14 Kazak Khans went to Samara and signed, with blood, article of holy reunion. To them, it was partial reunion of their holy nation Russia, but this time under true faith. Lords and Khans would gather on Heroic Council and propose and vote laws. Leader of Council was Gromov and it was signed that always somebody from Cult of Victor be leader of Council.
3-Cult of Victory was Gromov biggest achievement. He, alone, united mystic council under centralised, party-like cult of Victory Godess, or as people call it, Mother Russia. This centralised institution would be true leader of Confederation, with Heroic Council only as puppet for public.


With all that, Gromov made Samara city only for higher priest class, sending most of others to various communes that would feed the country. Those religious communes of pesents where run by local priest who would enforce will of Cult.
Those priest where colourful to say at least. There where records of some priests who made sub cult that rounded up girls from their communes and put them in "plesure houses" where priests would teach them how to please their men in future. We must mention those girls where between 6 to 12 years old. Even diabolical leadership had to cut down this sub cult for sake of obedience. Some claimed they where never fully destroyed.

Communes where mostly agricultural with sime fishing communes on Caspian sea and few industrial complexes for military industry.

OCC: It is short but bigger one is coming tomorrow, tell me what you, guys think about TL and Samara itself. Also I ask if any of you could make flag of Samara. I will include it in my next chapter.
