Yurodiviye

“	Picturing a world where the oppressed can escape from the exploitative dominion of the ruling class and find liberation in the truest sense.	”
–Sonya, Canto II: The Unloving

The Yurodiviye (Russian: Юро́дивые, Juródivyje; Hangul: 유로지비, Yurojibi) is a Syndicate led by Sonya, aiming to redistribute goods from the rich to the needy and widely prevent the concentration of wealth.

Overview

The Yurodiviye is first introduced in Canto II: The Unloving as a Syndicate Rodion was formerly associated with and competition for the LCB in their race for the Golden Boughs.

Yurodiviye was founded by Sonya and Rodion in the Backstreets of District 25 in response to the poor circumstances of those without wealth. Individual members are known as "Yurodivy" (Юро́дивый, Juródivyj), and most exhibit magnanimous ideals rarely seen in the harsh, greedy landscape of the City. The events of Intervallo IV: Timekilling Time and the District 20 Yurodivy Hong Lu and Ryōshū Identity Stories, however, evidence that not all members the Yurodiviye share the same ideals. Some of its members join with the simple desire to express their discontent towards the rich, and there are somewhat frequent debates between members with varying political views.

In the present day, Yurodiviye can be found throughout both the Backstreets and Nests of the City, roughing up peddlers they deem greedy people keeping money to themselves. Its members claim that this is only a transitory occupation that they perform while waiting for "the right moment".

Goals

Being the leader of the group, Yurodiviye's goals appear to align with Sonya's. In his words, they aim to destroy the system of oppression and exploitation, preventing the concentration of wealth. In order to attain this, they work to create a new world, as opposed to fixing the current one.

They seek the Golden Boughs for the sake of using its power in order to achieve this new world. Despite this, Sonya ultimately ends up allowing Rodya and the Sinners to obtain the one they sought at Branch J-03.

Background

The Syndicate was formed as a result of dissatisfaction with the way the poor of District 25's Backstreets only ever got poorer while the pawnbrokers only got richer. With charming speeches consisting of big words, Sonya managed to rally all kinds of people under the promise of paving a better world, and together, they organized Yurodiviye. With his group, Sonya aimed for a world where the destitute could escape from the oppression and exploitation of the ruling class, at last finding true liberation.

However, according to Rodya, the Syndicate ultimately warped into an organization that cared more for debating about how best to change the streets and the Nest, rather than actually going out and helping those in need. Sonya believed that it was only the future which could be changed, and focused exclusively on what could be improved going forward. Rodya was disgusted by this mindset which abandoned the sufferers of the present and chose to leave the group. Still, Timekilling Time suggests that this was her own personal bias, and that the Syndicate has continued to grow and better the City on account of Sonya's long-term planning.

Sinner Identities

The World of the District 20 Backstreets Identities were added as part of the Timekilling Time event during Season 4 and can be obtained through the Dispenser during season 4 or from Season 6 onward.

Relations with Other Factions

Hermann's Group

Yurodiviye is affiliated with Hermann and her faction, as seen in Canto II's post-credits scene. While the relationship between the two groups is unclear, they are shown to be on good terms, with Hermann treating Sonya with a notable amount of fairness even after he failed to claim the Golden Bough they sought.

Demian's Group

The Yurodiviye and Demian's faction appear to be allies. Sonya and Demian are at least acquainted with one another, well enough that Sonya knows of his relationship with Sinclair. Additionally, at the end of Canto III: The Unconfronting, Demian tells Sinclair that "the world is about to head for a new birth. And, only a few individuals can get there", a statement which aligns closely with Yurodiviye's goals of building a new and better world.

Limbus Company

Yurodiviye opposes Limbus Company in their quest to claim the Golden Boughs. They are also affiliated with Hermann's group, who hold a harsh rivalry with the Sinners. However, Sonya ultimately decides to give up the Bough to Rodion and the rest of the LCB, and never treats them with any particular harshness or hostility. The Yurodiviy of District 20 seen in Timekilling Time also show a dedication to their work with no interest in attacking the LCB without provocation. The captain even goes out of his way to offer Rodya advice after affirming that she held a friendship with Sonya.
