leap and jump in the Spirit speaking in new tongues (glossolalia) and prophesy. Rudomyotkin was a charismatic individual who traveled from village to village, preaching of repentance and of the coming 1000 year kingdom of Christ upon earth, which is written of in the book of Revelation. On December 19, 1854, he was spiritually crowned by the community through their activity of the Holy Spirit to be called the "king of spirits" (Царь Духов) and "leader of the people of Zion." After this "spiritual coronation", he then appointed two prophets and two prophetesses to represent him in spiritual matters in the community. The prophets were named Emelian Telegin and Fitis Nazaroff, the two prophetesses were named Stenya Kartashova and Varya Manuseeva. Rudomyotkin frequently called his community the New Israel, Jumpers and Leapers (skakuny i pryguny) and the children of Zion. In the year 1855, this coronation was confirmed by a young boy prophet named Efim Gerasimovich Klubnikin, who at 12 years old, prophesied concerning the spiritual kingship of Rudomyotkin among his followers. The pryguny label regarding this group of Spiritual Christian Molokans was first used in Orthodox print about 1856 to describe them. This spiritual preaching and activity reached its peak into 1858, in which, according to certain files, close to half of the sectarians in Transcaucasia accepted and acknowledged Rudomyotkin as king of spirits and leader of Zion. On August 25 of 1858, his followers erected a large banner on the road into their village, declaring the end of the tsarist regime and the soon coming establishment of Christ's kingdom upon earth. This banner was seen by local authorities and also by the two grand dukes, Michael Nikolaevich and Nicholas Nicolaievich the elder, during a visit of theirs to the area. The banner was quickly confiscated by the authorities and it was later reported to higher officials that the followers of Rudomyotkin, due to his teachings, were beginning to pose a political and religious threat in the area against the authority-ship of the Tsar and the official religion of his regime. Which was the state religion of Eastern Orthodoxy. With this new information, the local authorities decided to go to the source and arrest Rudomyotkin on the following counts: Violation of government, violation of the general public, violation of citizenship, violation of family and violation of religion. Upon arrest, they sent him to a prison in Alexandropol on September
