Abstract: We determined rotational period of practically nonrotating Ap star gamma Equ and claim $P_{\rm rot}= 97$ years. This period is about 35000 times larger than the average rotational period among stars of the same spectral class. Paper discusses possible mechanism explaining the origin of this phenomenon.
