So that Putin wins in Ukraine: the shocking step the spiritual leader is planning

Arthur Tsybikov, who calls himself the 'Supreme Shaman of Russia', has announced a plan to sacrifice 60 camels over the course of a year to bring about a Russian victory in Ukraine. Animal rights activists and other shamans are opposed.

Arthur Tsybikov, who calls himself the 'Supreme Shaman of Russia', has announced a plan to sacrifice 60 camels over a full year, five per month, to ask the gods for victory for Vladimir Putin in the war in Ukraine. Tsybikov, 53, heads the religious organization 'Blue Skies Forever' in Angarsk, Siberia. In a video from October, he described the plan as a 'marathon' of prayers and offerings to Slavic gods. Animal rights activists have filed complaints with the police, but in 2019, after he sacrificed five camels, no criminal case was opened. Other shamans, such as Alevtina Sagan-Ool from Tuva, strongly oppose and argue that sacrificing camels is not part of shamanic tradition. The headline uses the word 'shocking' to attract attention.
