MOSCOW - A hundred residents of a Russian village have refused to switch to new passports because they believe the documents' bar codes contain satanic symbols, state television reported on Wednesday.
"We believe these new passports are sinful," Valentina Yepifanova, an elderly resident of the village Bogolyubovo, told Rossiya television as she clutched an old, tattered passport she said she wanted to keep.
"They have these bar codes and people say they contain three sixes. We are against that."
Some residents of Bogolyubovo, which means "God-loving" in Russian, have also stopped collecting their pensions at the local post office because the payment slips also have bar codes that might contain the mark of the devil, Rossiya TV reported.

It is a tight life
It’s all too easy to dismiss the villagers’ beliefs as primitive and uneducated – and yet they probably do have a good point. Especially since even the Bible mentions “Mark of the Beast” etc.
The problem is that – as was mentioned in the transcripts - when it comes to money, it is a comply or starve situation. Much like those villagers refusing to pick up their money from the post office.
They won’t be doing that for long, for sure. Such is life…
