Kremlin insiders claim Putin has a deep belief in shamanism, a mysticism that allows individuals to communicate with spirits. His fascination with the occult adds a unique, eerie layer to his leadership.
Reports suggest Putin consulted Mongolian and Siberian shamans for advice on military operations, possibly seeking their blessing before using nuclear weapons. The mystics call them the "weapons of the gods."

Putin stopped in the Tuva region, known for its pagan traditions, where he reportedly engaged in occult practices. Officially, he gave a lecture on patriotism, but reports suggest his real motive was to consult the shamans.
The Kremlin quickly dismissed claims linking Putin's Mongolia visit to shamanic consultations, calling it "untrue." However, his history of consulting mystics before military actions raises questions.
In the past, Putin allegedly consulted shamans before invading Ukraine in 2022. They assured him of victory, and months later, he reportedly checked in with them to see if everything was still "going according to plan."
Putin's faith in mysticism isn't new. Stalin reportedly sought shamanic rituals during WWII, and Russian state media once aired live shamanic healing sessions in the late 1980s.
Not all shamans support Putin. In 2019, Shaman Alexander Gabyshev attempted to exorcise "the demon Putin," but was arrested during his journey to Moscow and remains detained in a psychiatric prison.

Putin's obsession with immortality is as strong as his military interests. He's reportedly taken part in blood baths and occult rituals in an effort to stay youthful, even ordering scientists to create an anti-ageing drug.
