The Yakut shaman Alexander Gabyshev became known throughout Russia after in the spring of 2019, together with like-minded people, he organized a “trip to Moscow” to carry out the “rite of expelling Putin.” He was detained a few months later on the border of Buryatia and the Irkutsk region. From the police, Gabyshev was sent to a neuropsychiatric dispensary, and a criminal case was opened against him for incitement to extremism.

Later he was forcibly taken to a mental hospital. The operation involved 50 police officers. A few days earlier, Gabyshev announced a new campaign against Moscow, which was to begin in March 2021.

Gabyshev called his criminal case political.

In July, the Yakutsk City Court sent Gabyshev to compulsory treatment in a criminal case on the use of force against an employee of the Russian Guard.
