Editing Ynglism (section)

Despite the judicial prosecutions, Ynglist organisations continued their activities and mass celebrations as an unregistered religious movement, having expanded to all the [[federal subjects of Russia]] and to various countries abroad, and Aleksandr Khinevich himself resumed large-scale preaching activities in 2011.{{sfnm|1a1=Golovneva|1y=2018|1p=341|2a1=Maltsev|2y=2015|2loc=passim}} According to the scholar Vladimir B. Yashin, it would have been impossible for the authorities to uproot the church from public life, since in 2001 there were already about three thousand Ynglists in Omsk alone.{{sfn|Maltsev|2015|loc=passim}} By 2009, the number of Ynglists in Omsk alone had grown to 13,000.{{sfn|Matytsin|2009|loc=passim}} Meanwhile, between 2001 and 2009 the community of permanent residents at the Asgardian headquarters had grown from 500 to 600 people.{{sfn|Shnirelman|2017b|p=90}} In 2016, the scholar Kaarina Aitamurto reported that Ynglism clearly had a "substantial number of followers",{{sfn|Aitamurto|2016|p=51}} while Elena Golovneva noted that Ynglist ideas were not marginal even among non-Ynglist Russian Rodnovers.{{sfn|Golovneva|2018|p=342}}

According to Yashin, Ynglism came out strengthened after the prosecutions, turning into a decentralised phenomenon, a movement of dozens of organisations which were not only present in all of the regions of Russia, particularly in [[Krasnodar Krai|Krasnodar]], [[Chelyabinsk Oblast|Chelyabinsk]] and [[Tyumen Oblast|Tyumen]], in [[Moscow]], but also present in [[Ukraine]], [[Germany]] and the [[Czech Republic]].{{sfn|Maltsev|2015|loc=passim}} Judge V. A. Matytsin of the Omsk District Court reported that as of 2009 the movement had also established communities in [[Estonia]], [[Latvia]] and [[Lithuania]], as well as in the [[United States]] and [[Canada]].{{sfn|Matytsin|2009|loc=passim}} According to Yashin, Ynglism, along with mainstream Rodnovery, has gained many adherents in the regions of the [[North Caucasus]] of southern Russia because many Slavs who live there believe that Ynglism and Rodnovery represent their cultural identity, which they believe is at war with the culture of the area's [[Islam]]ic population.{{sfn|Maltsev|2015|loc=passim}}

Golovneva reported that at the time of her study the activities of Ynglist communities were financed by their parishioners themselves and by two commercial organisations, namely "Asgard" and "Iriy", which were involved in building and consulting.{{sfn|Golovneva|2018|p=341}} She found that among the Ynglists in Omsk, many of them were teenagers and young adults, both under-graduate and post-graduate students, "modern people with a great reverence for the spirituality of the past".{{sfn|Golovneva|2018|p=341}} An adherent of Ynglism stated that the movement's doctrines were attractive to "a full cross-section of society", from "immature youth to bureaucrats, businessmen and military personnel", and these people found "normal, harmonious mutual relationships" within the movement.{{sfn|Golovneva|2018|p=342}}
