In Yakutia, two supporters of the shaman-warrior Alexander Gabyshev, who was going to "expel Putin", were detained and interrogated as witnesses. This is reported by MBKh Media with reference to the coordinator of the Human Rights Postcard Alexei Pryanishnikov.

Supporters of the shaman Yevgeny Rostokin and Boris Litnarovich were detained in the Yakut city of Neryungri and taken to the FSB for interrogation. As Pryanishnikov noted, Rostokin had already been detained two days before. Then he was warned that law enforcement officers were monitoring all his movements.

During interrogation, Rostokin's mobile phone was confiscated, preventing him from contacting his lawyer. “The FSB officers tried to confuse the witness and offered him to sign a protocol with a different version of the testimony than Rostokin gave them: instead of the phrase he voiced “went to exorcise the demon from Putin,” the protocol contained the phrase “went to expel Putin,” ”the publication reports Pryashnikov’s words. .

In addition, the FSB officers also showed a video cut from other videos featuring a shaman warrior, trying to convince Rostokin that he was the one who uploaded this video.
