He was born on November 27, 1967 in Simferopol. From 1986 to 1988, he served in the Armed Forces of the USSR. He started his work for the Soviet Ministry of Interior as a police officer, the commander of a separate battalion of militia responsible for the private security (vnevedomstvennaya okhrana) in 1988.

Since February 1998, he has been part of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Main Control Ministry of Interior of Ukraine in Crimea. On 1 March 2014, Abisov became the Acting Chief of the Interior Ministry of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.
