Shabbatis or Karaimites or Subbotnik-Karaites or Karaite Subbotniks (Russian: Субботники-Караимиты) also described as "Russian Karaites" (Russian: Русские Караимы), are Jewish Christians who practise ritual slaughter and sometimes circumcision. The Interior Ministry classified the Subbotniks as a Christian sect and ineligible for aliyah to Israel, because no one knew if their ancestors had formally converted to Judaism (and there is much historic evidence that they did not) but the ruling was abolished in 2014, with an attempt by the Interior Ministry to allow remaining Subbotnik families like Hakham Yose Khoen's to make Aliyah and immigrate to Israel.
