[4] Abdyldayev gained immediate fame after holding a press conference shortly after the election, where he declared that there would be no winter in Kyrgyzstan, and that his home country is the core of the Earth.
The Kyrgyz people, Abdyldayev said, are the most ancient nation, whose "heroes" and "shamans" (including the characters of the Epic of Manas) had the "universal energy" and could perform "magical rites".
For example, he claimed to have sent COVID-19 alongside "storms and clouds" to the People's Republic of China because the PRC had not abolished the debt of Kyrgyzstan.
Abdyldayev and his teachings became an Internet meme in the former Soviet Union, with the most popular video about him gathering more than two million views on YouTube.
[5] Abdyldayev was found dead of an apparent suicide by hanging in the canteen of the special medical correctional institution No.
