In 2011, he began his public activities, joining the liberal-nationalist Bashkir organization "Kuk Bure" ("Heavenly Wolf"), where he was elected deputy head.
"Kuk Bure" together with the Russian People's Center "Patriot" held pickets against the lawlessness of ethnic crime, as well as against anti-people corruption in the state authorities (in fact - against the influx of criminal elements of Caucasian nationality into the region).
The participants held placards "Bashkortostan is NOT the Caucasus", "Uz ereme - uzem khuzha" ("you are the master of your own land"), "Kuk bure for democracy".
Bashkort activists pasted up leaflets calling for the march to be banned, organized "Gatherings of Batyrs", and held solitary pickets with protests.
In 2015, a criminal case was opened against Gabbasov and another Bashkort representative for beating Ilmir Mambetov, head of the Orenburg Kurultai of Bashkirs.
According to pro-government and Russian nationalist media, the reason was allegedly that Mambetov refused to open a Bashkort branch in his city.
However, until its closure in 2019, it was often used by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation in order to detain and summon for questioning the leadership of Bashkort in the framework of criminal proceedings during the organization's regular actions.
He organized rallies for the compulsory study of the Bashkir language in schools, organized information campaigns against the development of Mount Kushtau, as well as for the preservation of the Toratau mountain-shikhan ecosystem, advocated the introduction of quotas for officials of Bashkir nationality, and criticized the former head of the republic, Rustem Khamitov, including for his anti-Bashkir policy.
