In 2017, the organization also came under criticism from the [[Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyiv Patriarchate]], which called its activities "destructive". The church's diocese described AllatRa as a "psychocult". AllatRa has been criticized by the [[BBC News]] in 2022 for its claims that the impact of greenhouse gases on [[climate change]] is negligible.<ref>{{Cite news |last1=Silva |first1=Marco |last2=Thomas |first2=Merlyn |date=April 25, 2022 |title=How high-profile scientists felt tricked by group denying climate change |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-61166339 |access-date= |work=[[BBC News]] |language=en-GB}}</ref> Some Ukrainian media outlets said that AllatRa may be a second coming of [[White Brotherhood (religious group)|White Brotherhood]] cult,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Levashvili |first=Olga |date=April 1, 2016 |title=АллатРа: нове вбрання короля |url=https://zn.ua/ukr/SOCIUM/allatra-nove-vbrannya-korolya-_.html |access-date= |website=[[Dzerkalo Tyzhnia]] |language=uk}}</ref> ''Babel'' said that AllatRa's ideas are similar to those of the cult.<ref>{{Cite web |last1=Rayevskyi |first1=Dmytro |last2=Kobernyk |first2=Kateryna |date=August 28, 2023 |title=The pro-Russian sect wanted to tell the world about the imminent apocalypse, and also about the great leader Putin |url=https://babel.ua/en/texts/97747-the-pro-russian-sect-wanted-to-tell-the-world-about-the-imminent-apocalypse-and-also-about-the-great-leader-putin-and-it-did-with-the-leading-ukrainian-media-helping-it-what-yes-it-hurts |access-date= |website=Babel.ua |language=en}}</ref>

In November 2023, [[Security Service of Ukraine|Ukraine's Security Service]] (SBU) and National Police conducted raids and searches across multiple regions, blocking over 20 centers of the AllatRa accused of collaborating with Russian special services, spreading pro-Kremlin propaganda to justify Russia's aggression in the Russo-Ukrainian war, and promoting a "union of Slavic peoples" under Moscow's leadership.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Ukraine's Security Service shuts down 20 centers of Kremlin-linked AllatRa religious organization|url=https://rubryka.com/en/2023/11/02/sbu-zablokuvala-diyalnist-antyukrayinskoyi-psevdoreligijnoyi-sekty-allatra/|website=Rubryka|date=2023-11-02|access-date=2026-01-22|first=|last=}}</ref><ref name=":7" /><ref>{{Cite web|title=Cells in Ukraine of sect linked to Russian intelligence services broken up by SBU and police|url=https://english.nv.ua/nation/sbu-and-police-disrupt-allatra-sect-s-activities-amid-allegations-of-russian-collaboration-50365312.html|website=NV|access-date=2026-01-22|language=en}}</ref> SBU seized documents, weapons, and books from the series ''[[Project Russia]]'' from AllatRa's offices.<ref name=":2" /><ref name=":7" />

Subsequent [[lawsuit]] by the [[Ministry of Justice (Ukraine)|Ukrainian Ministry of Justice]] to formally ban and dissolve the organization (Case No. 640/362/23) was rejected by the Kyiv District Administrative Court in April 2025 due to procedural issues and insufficient evidence of national security threats.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Єдиний державний реєстр судових рішень|url=https://reyestr.court.gov.ua/Review/126371842|website=reyestr.court.gov.ua|access-date=2026-01-22}}</ref> The Ministry appealed the ruling.

In 2024, spokesperson for [[Czech Ministry of the Interior]] said that they are aware of AllatRa's and Creative Society's presence and are concerned that their "anti-system [[conspiracy theories]]" may radicalize people. He also stated that they are exploring the possibility of Russia using "information channels" of AllatRa and Creative Society to spread its influence.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kopecká |first=Mahulena |date=October 8, 2024 |title=Všelidský projekt záchrany planety.

Cirokova was accused of supporting a "movement that aims to undermine fundamental rights". Her lawyer described the accusations as "vague" and that they need further clarification. The prosecutor of the case, Lucia Pavlaninova, was reported to have participated in events organized by AllatRa and accused by some media outlets of supporting the organization.<ref name=":8" /> The incident was condemned by [[Reporters Without Borders]] and Czech Syndicate of Journalists as harassment of journalists.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-10-11 |title=Journalist associations condemn interrogation of Czech reporter by Slovak authorities |url=https://www.intellinews.com/journalist-associations-condemn-interrogation-of-czech-reporter-by-slovak-authorities-347804/ |access-date=2026-01-15 |website=www.intellinews.com |language=en}}</ref> [[International Federation of Journalists]] also condemned AllatRa, stating that it was part of the organization's campaign against its opponents, whom they brand as "[[Anti-cultist|anti-cultists]]" and "[[Nazism|nazis]]".<ref>{{Cite web |date=October 18, 2024 |title=Slovakia: Two journalists investigated for their work on sectarianism and cults |url=https://www.ifj.org/media-centre/news/detail/category/press-releases/article/slovakia-two-journalists-investigated-for-their-work-on-sectarianism-and-cults |access-date= |website=[[International Federation of Journalists|IFJ]] |language=en}}</ref> 

In 2025, [[Seznam Zprávy|''Seznam Zprávy'']] reported that thousands of social media accounts affiliated with the organization launched a [[smear campaign]] against Czech [[YouTuber]] and critic of AllatRa Jakub Jahl, which began in June of that year. The accounts falsely accused Jahl of being a [[Pedophilia|pedophile]], [[Cruelty to animals|animal abuser]] and committing [[child abuse]] in Africa.

It featured [[Tanzania|Tanzanian]] locals accusing him of spreading [[Satanism]], being [[LGBT]] and committing crimes such as raping children. Jahl later filed a [[police report]] and [[lawsuit]] against the creators of the video. In July 2025 court in Prague ordered AllatRa to remove the video from [[Rumble (company)|Rumble]] and [[Facebook]]. Creative Society member Michal Voska sent an open letter to [[Charles University]], where Jahl is studying, demanding that he be investigated for the video.
