In an audio post on YouTube, Alexander Gabyshev explains that this time he plans to cover his thousands of kilometers between his native Yakutia and the Russian capital on horseback. Supporters are likely to accompany the shaman in cars, writes rferl.org.
“We will overcome all of Siberia, we will reach the Ural Mountains, and from there Moscow will be easily accessible,” Gabyshev said.
Gabyshev’s name first made headlines in March 2019, when he called Putin “evil” and announced that he had launched a march to Moscow to expel the Russian president from the Kremlin.
He then traveled more than two thousand kilometers and interacted with hundreds of Russians along the way.
As the shaman’s popularity grew, videos of his conversations with people began to be posted on social media and received millions of views.
Arriving in Chita in July of that year, Gabyshev led a demonstration that drew 700 people under the slogan “Russia without Putin.”
“God revealed to me that Putin was not a man, but a demon, and ordered me to expel him,” the shaman said at the time.
His march finally came to a halt: a shaman was arrested in Buryatia in September.
A. Gabyshev was returned to Yakutia, locked up in a psychiatric clinic and kept there for some time.
Shamans in Siberia have been considered doctors and sorcerers for centuries. During the Soviet era, they suffered severe repression. But now, in some remote areas of Siberia, shamans are regaining their former glory.
