The 44-year-old has now been sentenced to prison. L.

always praised his raw food diet on Instagram. Meanwhile, he starved his one-month-old baby and forbade his partner Oxana to breastfeed him. The Russian believed that the sun's rays would nourish his newborn. Followers of spiritual practice firmly believe that they can live solely from sunlight. Scientifically speaking, such claims are false. Due to biological circumstances, a permanent abstinence from solid and liquid food inevitably leads to death - just like in the small cosmos. But L. himself demonstrated a vegan lifestyle with only raw food to his community on social media. As it turned out during the court case, the Russian influencer was eating pasta and animal products such as meat. This in turn supports the statement of Oxana's mother, who claimed that the baby only served as a guinea pig for L. over the course of its short life.
