Abstract
Abstract This article has two focal points and two protagonists. First, it aims to look at the case of the self-proclaimed rebellious Siberian shaman Alexandr Gabyshev who became known in Russia since 2019 as a public figure and an anti-Putin crusader. Secondly, Gabyshev’s political crusade made the Russian president himself – even if indirectly – part of the ensuing public narrative that popped up around the shaman. The key research question I wish to address in this article is how the inner and public meanings of Gabyshev’s actionist protest might be interpreted through the lens of political theories, and what does a combination of theoretical perspectives bring for academically unpacking the case?
