This is the day of the “Mayan Apocalypse,” when a Mayan calendar the end of us all. However, many other people do not believe the world will end in a day or . The Chinese government has recently 93 people for spreading doomsday rumours on the Internet. Meanwhile, in Russia, Chechnya leader Ramzan Kadyrov sensibly people not to buy Armageddon candles. He wrote on his website: "Does no one realise that once the end of the world , candles won't them?"
