Radiožurnál: The Kutná Hora sect
Dozens of people believed in the miraculous healing power of the healer Richard and began to live their lives entirely according to his instructions. The story of the Kutná Hora sect ends in violence and the tragic death of three individuals. How did Richard transform from a healer to a religious leader?
