Initially, officials said they would find a replacement, with several countries in Europe and the Middle East mentioned as candidates.</p><p>The decision to cancel that stop altogether will come as a relief to the drivers, who have lamented the grueling schedule and continual season expansion. F1 debuted a race in Miami this year and will add Las Vegas in 2023, looking possibly to more countries in the future, such as China and South Africa. </p><p>In a recent interview with Insider, McLaren driver <keyword id="12086558" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="daniel-ricciardo" source="Orion">Daniel Ricciardo</keyword> noted that 23 races are extreme considering how much there is to do between races.</p><p>"I think 23 races is okay if there wasn't so much stuff, you know, before and after the weekend as well," Ricciardo told Insider ahead of the Miami GP. "If it was like Friday to Sunday, 23 times a year, that would be okay. But sometimes we're getting to a race, you know, Tuesday, Wednesday to already start doing some marketing and some events and things ... It's quite a lot with everything else."</p><p>So what is the ideal number of races for Ricciardo? He says the perfect season would be about 20% shorter.</p><p>"I would say like the way it is, and how it's structured, maybe 18 is a sweeter number," Ricciardo said. "I mean, I'm not complaining. Like, I'm certainly up for [23 races]. This is just kind of a magic wand."</p><div type="image" title="Alex Albon" height="1667" width="2500" msid="91646928" hostid="261"></div><p>Williams driver <keyword id="13969525" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="alex-albon" source="Orion">Alex Albon</keyword> agreed.</p><p>"Twenty-three races is tough, and on top of 23 races, we do much more than that," Albon told Insider. "I've spent about two and a half weeks at my house since the beginning of the year, in total. I'm living in a suitcase."</p><p>In addition to one fewer race on the schedule, the drivers will also get a much-welcome late-season vacation.</p><p>By leaving the Russian Grand Prix's September date open, the drivers will have a rare three-week break between Italy and Singapore, the 16th and 17th races on the schedule.</p><p>Albon and the other drivers will get a chance to spend some of that time at home. </p>

Road-weary F1 drivers get a small win as officials decide not to replace canceled Russian Grand Prix

<br /> The much-talked-about Indian Grand Prix (GP) is expected to make a comeback in 2016. On the sidelines of the inaugural <keyword id="1707134" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Russian-GP">Russian GP</keyword> in Sochi, last month, <keyword id="42857" type="SPORT" weightage="20" keywordseo="Formula-One">Formula One</keyword> boss <keyword id="18067" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Bernie-Ecclestone">Bernie Ecclestone</keyword> met race promoters to pave way for the return of the elite event. Not to forget, the race has already been ruled out for 2015.<br />
<br /> After three successful seasons, the <keyword id="124642" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-GP">Indian GP</keyword> was dropped from the 2014 calendar due to non-payment of tax and bureaucratic hurdles. It left F1 fans and motor sports experts to wonder whether the high-profile event will ever take place in the country.<br />
<br /> There is no doubt that the issues surrounding this motorsports extravaganza still exists, but <keyword id="379807" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Formula-One-Management">Formula One Management</keyword> (FOM) led by <keyword id="2605784" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Eccelestone">Eccelestone</keyword> and race promoters Jaypee Sports International (JPSI), headed by <keyword id="421123" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sameer-Gaur">Sameer Gaur</keyword>, are first trying to honour the five-year contract. Ultimately, they’ll work together to secure the future of the event in the long run.<br />
<br />
According to a leading news agency, Eccelestone said that "We (Sameer and I) had a good meeting in Russia. I was assured that the tax and other related problems will be sorted out in due course and then we are good to go back. It is too late for 2015 now, so we are working on 2016."<br />
<br />
On the other hand, Gaur said, "Formula 1 remains very important for us. Unfortunately, because of the circumstances we could not do the race this year but I see the situation improving soon. The important thing is that we and FOM are on the same page. 2015 looks tough as the calendar is more or less final, so we should look at 2016 as the year for the race."<br />
<br />
If F1 enthusiasts are waiting to watch the luxury car racing sport, they need to wait and see how Eccelestone will fit in India on the ever crowded calendar.<br /> (Image: <keyword id="615091" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Buddh-International-Circuit">Buddh International Circuit</keyword>)<br />

A spokesperson for NYAS confirmed there is no election process for membership.</p><p>As Grabovoi's so-called accreditations grew, so did his ego. He set up several namesake organizations, including the Teachings of GP Grabovoi sect and the Grigori Grabovoi Doo company. Some of his followers also set up initiatives including the nonprofit <a href="https://stiftungen.stiftungschweiz.ch/organizations/fondazione-per-l-attuazione-e-la-protezione-dell-insegnamento-di-grigori-grabovoi">Grabovoi Foundation</a>, and a <a href="https://religiongg.wordpress.com/category/%D1%86%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%BA%D0%B2%D0%B8-%D0%B3%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%B3%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%8F-%D0%B3%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B1%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BE/">"church" of Grabovoi</a> registered in Erie County, New York.</p><p>In 2004, a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1KA7vO2fCU">video</a> on YouTube showed a clean-shaven, suited man saying: "I, Grigory Petrovich Grabovoi, born on November 14, 1963, in the village of Kirovskiy, Bagara, in the Shimkent region of Kazakhstan, announce that, I, Grigory Grabovoi, am the second coming of Jesus Christ."</p><h2>Promising to raise the dead</h2><p>That same year, a gang of armed Chechen separatists laid siege to a school in the town of Beslan, North Ossetia. <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-39586814">The bloodbath that ensued</a> killed around 330 people - 186 of them children.</p><div type="image" title="Russia Beslan massacre siege Chechnya children victims" height="1000" width="2000" msid="84142231" hostid="261"></div><p>In the aftermath, Grabovoi built a following around himself with bereaved mothers.</p><p>The Russian tabloid <a href="https://www.kp.ru/daily/23583.3/44712/">Komsomolskaya Pravda reported</a> in 2005 that Gravoboi was promising he could resurrect their children for a fee of around 1,000 euros ($1,200) per person.</p><p>Grabovoi denied charging money. But the report led to his 2008 conviction for fraud, for which he was eventually imprisoned until 2010.</p><h2>A nation newly in love with spiritualism</h2><p>To Grabovoi's followers, the fact that top Russian institutions initially embraced Grabovoi shows he is the real deal. </p><p>But as <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@dr_inna?lang=en">the psychologist and former Soviet faith healer Inna Kanevsky</a> said, it was more a symptom of a nationwide love affair with pseudoscience and spiritualism that followed the Soviet Union's fall.</p><p>The obsession was a backlash against the former regime's rigid anti-religious, Marxist materialism, and an antidote to the country's crumbling infrastructure, she said.</p><p>"This was just a universal craze. We were all believers, no matter how science minded," she told Insider.</p><p>"Soviet medicine was falling apart at the time, everything was falling apart ... And these people were promising you something."</p><div type="image" title="Three TikTok screenshots showing Dr Inna Kanevsky debunking pseudopsychology." height="1000" width="2000" msid="84142234" hostid="261"></div><p>So it made sense, Kanevsky said, that the grieving mothers of Beslan were attracted to a man who said he could resurrect their children.</p><p>Grabovoi did not respond to most of a detailed list of questions sent by Insider, focusing only the legitimacy of his qualifications.</p><p>But Luigi Stefano Candela, who runs the nonprofit Grabovoi Foundation, offered Insider a long response defending Grabovoi, which he said came from his office.</p><p>Candela told Insider that he believes Grabovoi's conviction was a setup, made with tampered evidence and false reporting.</p><p>(In a <a href="https://www.vocativ.com/world/russia/grigory-grabovoi/index.html">2014 investigation by Vocativ</a>, the Komsomolskaya Pravda reporter Vladimir Vorsobin stood by his story, saying he even had a receipt for the cash he paid for the so-called "resurrection.")</p><p>Candela also described Grabovoi's trial as an example of "political targeting." Reports in the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120211092456/http://www.novayagazeta.ru/society/40901.html">opposition-friendly newspaper Novaya Gazeta</a> written during the trial acknowledged the possibility that President Vladimir Putin - who appeared to initially embrace Grabovoi - turned on him when, in 2004, the healer said he intended to run for president. But that theory has remained just that - a theory.</p><p>In 2016, the European Court of Human Rights <a href="https://www.rferl.org/a/russia-grabovoi-healer-compensation-echr/28006925.html">ordered the Russian government</a> to pay Grabovoi $2,800 in compensation on the grounds that his pretrial detention, which stretched out for two years, was illegal. Russia's Supreme Court annulled multiple rulings on his pretrial detention.</p><p>In an attempt to demonstrate Grabovoi's innocence of fraud, Candela pointed Insider to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGxgp0AvX7o">a 2018 press conference</a> by Mikhail Trepashkin, a Russian lawyer and former KGB agent.</p><p>Trepashkin argued at the conference that the Supreme Court's annulment also applied to Grabovoi's fraud conviction. Insider has been unable to independently confirm this.</p><h2><strong>Manifesting on TikTok</strong></h2><p>That's all a long way from the London home of 20-year-old student Joy Thompson, who runs the <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@pillaroflighttarot?lang=en">@pillaroflighttarot</a> TikTok account.</p><p>Thompson posts about spirituality and tarot and, in her corner of TikTok, Grabovoi codes slot neatly into the trend of "manifesting."</p><p><a href="https://www.insider.com/manifestation-journaling-latest-trend-to-combat-pandemic-fatigue-2021-3">As Insider's Kelsie Sandoval reported</a>, manifesting is the practice of attempting to make desires and beliefs turn into reality with positive thinking. (Experts say positive thinking has to be accompanied by action to have any effect.)</p><p>When Thompson first saw posts about Grabovoi codes in early March, she was instantly excited. </p><p>"I was like, 'oh my God, yeah, I love this,'" she told Insider. At that time there was no mention of fraud, massacres, or second comings.</p><p>She said she remembers thinking at the time: "I don't know if it's manifestation, a placebo, you know, but I'm going to make TikToks about this. This is amazing. It works, it's a trend. It would be great for my channel."</p><p>That's as far as her research went, she said. But as interest peaked - <a href="https://gizmodo.com/zoomers-are-sharing-cheat-codes-for-the-universe-on-tik-1846840776">Gizmodo noted</a> 56 million views of the hashtag #GrabovoiCode by early May - users <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@daddyspiderlashes/video/6946362512350711045?lang=en&amp;is_copy_url=0&amp;is_from_webapp=v1&amp;sender_device=pc&amp;sender_web_id=69030984427654036533098442765403653">like @daddyspiderlashes</a> found and shared the history of Grabovoi's fraud case, raising concerns about antisemitism in the process.</p><p>(One method of using Grabovoi numbers is to write them on one's arm, which critics say makes a mockery of Holocaust victims, who were tattooed with numbers. Candela of the Grabovoi Foundation told Insider the arm-writing has no basis in Grabovoi's teachings.)</p><p>In light of the discovery, Thompson quickly changed course, saying she made no endorsement of Grabovoi himself and reframing the method as "<a href="https://www.wellandgood.com/what-are-angel-numbers/">angel numbers</a>" or "manifestation codes." </p><h2><strong>From post-Soviet Russia to TikTok</strong></h2><p>In TikTok's fast-paced For You Page, information is presented with little context or background, and Thompson told Insider she regretted not digging a bit deeper before posting about Grabovoi numbers. </p><p>"All that came up was the spiritual side of it," she said. </p><p>Besides, vetting misinformation on TikTok is not easy, as Kanesvky has found. The psychologist <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tiktok-misinfo-doctors-pay-the-price-for-addressing-2021-4">previously told Insider's Connor Perrett</a> that she regularly receives backlash for her debunking posts, and has largely given up using the in-app reporting feature to flag misinformation.</p><p>A spokesperson for TikTok told Insider that posting Grabovoi numbers does not meet its community guidelines for misinformation. That definition is reserved for posts that incite hate, violence, panic, undermines elections, present a health hazard, or involve digital forgeries. </p><p>Grabovoi numbers have spread across multiple social media platforms. But for Kanevsky, TikTok's laser-focused algorithm, coupled with its deep sense of community, can make it particularly difficult for balanced information to come through. </p><p>TikTok has "this richness of experience," Kanevsky said, "but it also seems tailored to who you are." </p><p>As for Grabovoi's new existence on social media, Candela of the Grabovoi Foundation is delighted. "I created a TikTok account some days ago," he told Insider last month.</p><p>"Grabovoi told me: 'You have to be on TikTok!'" </p>
