Datsik gained notoriety both for his criminal behavior and vigilante raids on brothels, as well as his white supremacist and neo-Nazi beliefs.

[4] Datsik attained some degree of fame in the mixed martial arts community, due mostly to his dramatic knock-out of future Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski at the MFC World Championship on 9 April 1999,[5] and, in part, to his wild fighting style and notorious in-ring antics.

These rumors, however, were set to rest, when it was reported in March 2007 he was alive and well, after being detained for his part in the armed robbery of various mobile phone shops in St.

The official expert analysis on his mental sanity asserted that he claimed Jesus Christ was a Mossad agent, whereas Datsik believing himself to be "Red Tarzan," the son of Slavic god Perun.

[citation needed] In August 2010 he escaped, by tearing a hole in the wire fence around the low security clinic, apparently using his bare hands.

[10] Joined by two neo-Nazis from "an ex-Soviet Baltic state" living in Norway,[citation needed] he appeared at the International Police Immigration Service in Oslo on 21 September 2010, where he handed in a loaded weapon, declared himself a "white warrior" and requested political asylum.

[10] As a result, the police searched their tattoo shop where they found five illegal handguns and an entrance card stolen from the Norwegian Armed Forces.

[citation needed] In the week of 29 October, a Norwegian police physician submitted a report based on conversations with Datsik and review of available documents which concluded that he did not have a serious mental disease.
